Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, we have energy sector exposure through, CNQ,SU,TOU and ENB. There are several reasons for owning the sector through CDN companies, primarily for Dividend Tax credit in the Non Regd accounts and also their relatively lower risk profile and size. We have not invested in US Oil, and Gas/Pipeline companies, except a small holding in XLE.

CNBC guests/traders, frequently recommend the US companies listed in the question and it appears that all these stocks are doing well. ( OXY - with 20% ownership with Warren Buffet }. My question is that, in Canada, do we have Energy companies with similar product/business profiles to these US names. And, if so, for a Balanced 5i Portfolio risk profile investor, is the sector well represented with these four CDN companies ? Current Portfolio Weight: CNQ/SU/TOU: 9% ENB:6% Total-15%.

Thank You

Q: I have several cdn mid/small cap stocks but am looking for some less volitile names with dividends. Your thoughts on PXD and DVN? Would you prefer one over the other or both or neither?

Thanks

Dave

Q: Your thoughts on Devon Energy please.

Q: I have the the above exposures to the oil industry and I would like to reduce them. Can you please rank them in terms of recovery/return potential in the next year or two?

Q: I am thinking about buying this stock in a hope for recovery. What are the chances of bankruptcy? Is the dividend safe?

Q: Just your thoughts on DVN (US)
