Q: What are your thoughts on oil supply and demand? I know you favour Parex and Suncor. Do you have a price deck you are working off, or oil and gas forecasts? With Brent and WTI at or above USD50, I would think there are some companies with a ton of operating leverage.

What companies have the most torque if oil goes to $60 this year?

Q: Anticipated a double bottom last March that never happened. Our RESP currently is 40% cash with 5 years to go before withdrawals. VBAL is the largest holding. Current valuations are holding me back from putting new money into equity index ETFs. The RESP has money in ZUT, up 32% and ZRE, up 12%. I am considering adding to these favoring ZRE because of its valuation. Do you concur? I would welcome some other alternatives, but I want to stay away from individual companies.
Thank you

Q: Recommendation sought for investing new TFSA contributions. Expected drawdown on TFSA to start in 4 - 6 years.
My wife and my combined TFSA holdings are about 18% of our total portfolio, and the combined TFSA holdings are made up of:
PRMW & KEL <1%
PXT 3%
BCI 4%
BAM 7%
SIS 8% (20% loss)
XAW 8%
KXS 11%
VGRO 55% (the only investment also held in other accounts)
Cash 3% plus new contribution
I'm considering WELL (for growth) and FTS (for dividend & stability), possibly TFII?, or add a bit to PRMW (none of these are held in other accounts), for the new money.
Reasonable? Appropriate? Other recommendations?
Thanks for all you do, and I wish all of you a healthy & happy year.
