Q: Good morning,

Regarding WTI and expectations for continued price pressures for H1 2026 for reasons we all know well, I want to get your thoughts on China demand for Venezuelan oil. China has been the largest buyer of Venezuelan oil, and following the events of last weekend with Maduro and comments yesterday from Trump regarding the US “taking” ~$2bn in sweet crude from Venezuela, do you think China leans on Iran and Russia for their crude requirements near term? Or do you think there is potential for Canada to play more of a role?

I am at a bit of an inflection point on names like CNQ/Suncor at the moment, and would appreciate your views.

Thanks as always.

Q: Hello,
What is driving the surge in Kraken Robotics? Also, would you split monies for both stocks or what percentage should one allocate to each assuming i had 10k to invest? Lastly, this is a general question. How do the ETF providers buy so many stocks in an ETF and maintain a low fee structure? Much appreciate it.

Q: Hello 5i team,
Gibson Energy's yield is currently nearing 7%, quite tempting for a dividend investor. Can I get your opinion on the sustainability of this dividend? What is the payout ratio based on earnings and cash flow? I already have positions in ENB, TRP, PPL, KEY and ALA. Would taking a position in GEI reduce my risk, or would I be better off topping up the other positions?
Many thanks for your valuable advice!
Brian
