Q: I've noticed there is a divergence on many days between the performance of Canadian and American oil and gas stocks. Today, for example, many Canadian oil stocks are down. XEG is down .86% on the day. All the American O&G ETFs are up, most fairly strongly. What accounts for this?

Q: Morning. As always your analysis is greatly appreciated.

Are there any generalizations you have on what sectors would benefit from a Harris win in the US election and what sectors would not benefit from a Harris win. I assume the answers would be opposite for a Trump win.

Q: How do these 3 compare? Is US energy exposure necessary?

I have a chunk of each of these names.

Please rank in order of preference for overall rerun in next 3 years. Do all names have to be kept or can I consolidate them?

Thank you.
