Q: Hi,
thanks to 5i, my portfolio is fairly well diversified and overall doing quite well. The equities listed in this question are the ones I'm down on the most, some are near 25-50% losses. What general guidelines help determine whether to sell these 'losers' and move the remaining funds to other stocks or whether to continue to hold? Can you list each of these with a buy/sell/hold on a longer term (20 yr) view, these are all 1-5% each of the total portfolio. Deduct as many credits as needed since there are really two questions here.

Q: I have held Cardinal Energy for some time and with the dividend, have been about break even with the investment. I like dividends, but I value overall return more than I do yield alone and am wondering if I would be better served by selling CJ and purchasing Parex? In addition to CJ, I also own ENB, PKI, BTE, VET and TOG in this space. If not Parex, is there another energy play you would prefer in this scenerio? Your comments and rationale are most welcome. Thanks for the great service.

Q: hi
Purely on a stock by stock basis, based on the short term possible performance of the stock, if you had to sell some of these stocks, which would (first 5) you sell and in what order? ( I like all of them but I want to reduce my leverage ) Do not consider them as a portfolio as I have other stocks in registered accounts. Reducing across all of them would not be efficient for the size of my account.
thank you

Q: I currently have a 12% weighting in Energy. 60% of which is split between ENB and PKI as my core holdings and the remaining 40% split between VET, WCP, TOG, RRX and CJ. I am comfortable with the ENB and PKI but I am wondering if I should make any changes to the other 5 holdings. Drop one or two of the weakest and concentrate on the remaining 3 or 4 stronger names? Trim all 5 and add another name? I am hoping the oil rally continues and I want to be in the best position to take advantage of it.
Many Thanks
Scott

Q: I seek your thoughts on the following: my portfolio is constructed to a max weighting of 4% per holding. As I am retired I now have a minimum 3% div payout requirement. I am a 30 plus year investor in the markets and not shy on a slightly higher volatility and risk. I have been out of oil and gas totally over the past few years. I am looking at entering a small to mid cap producer. Cardinal certainly meats the div need but I am concerned about its viability to maintain it. Whitecap is around 3.5% yld and I have held it in the past. It is much larger, but which one do you think has the most capital growth from here, and is the most sound investment or would you go into both? thank you

Q: Could you please rank these stocks for growth assuming the sector ever improves.
Could you also do another list of just the dividend payers ranking income strength (safe and/or growing divi)

Thanks.
