Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5I
Could you please list a group of “cheap” or discounted reopening plays? As well as the pe if applicable.

Thanks

Q: The above stocks all seem to be pretty good value, do you agree? How do you see the next 6-12 months for them? Should I consider certain growth stocks at this point instead?

Thanks,

Stephen

Q: Hi, Could you please help understand, why SU had been underperforming Energy sector, even on the days with a jump in Oil prices.

Thank You

Q: As I write this Feb 23/22 Russia has begun to bomb Kyiv in Ukraine. All market commentators are saying that oil will go up with this invasion as a catalyst. Do you agree? please name a ticker or two or three. I have noticed Devon DVN and GUSH the three times leverage.
I am down about 20% in my Tesla shares in a margin account. I will probably be margin called in the next few days.
I could trim my position taking a 20-25%.
Should I put something into Oil as this Russian conflict persists?

Q: Which E nergy stocks are still buyable?

Q: SIS seems to be drifting down. Would you continue to hold and if so, why? Between ENB and SU, which do you believe will have the greatest overall growth over the next 12-18 months? Thank you.

Q: If I had to buy only one energy ETF, which would you choose?

If I had to buy only one large cap energy stock, which would you choose?


If I had to buy only one mid cap energy stock, which would you choose?

Your thoughts on TVE please.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In general, how many stocks in the energy sector should one hold? I'm asking this because Portfolio Analytics is suggesting an increase in this sector. At present, we hold ENB, TVE, and TOU, with TVE being the largest holding. Are there any other complementary names that we should consider? I'd like to adopt an equal-weight strategy for this sector. Would you agree? I've been thinking about adding ARX and SU, and as always, appreciate your guidance.

Q: Good morning. I’m interested in following a few Canadian refinery stocks. How do I do a search for possibilities through this site and if you could update the companies
Thank you kindly and have a terrific day

Q: Hello Peter,
Why is suncor not participating to the same degree as others in the sector with surging oil prices? Would i be better off moving to another name and if so, which is a better buy? Also, what do you think of Amazon's results? The stock has not done much if looking at one year timeframe.. Given the potential rise in rates, is it better not to take full position in Amazon? Thanks.

Q: What do you think of su quarter results.

Q: My only oil/gas exposure is via the pipeline stocks listed. I am virtually at a break even point on PPL and up on TRP and ENB. I am thinking that some exposure to a oil producer is a good thing. I am thinking of selling PPL and using the proceeds to buy SU. Thoughts?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Like many members as well as 5i, I am increasingly frustrated with PKI. For example, it dropped 5.2% on January 18. :(

We hold PKI in both my wife’s and my RRIFs. Both holdings are still up, but I’m considering exiting PKI while we’ve still made some money.

I was considering equal purchases of SU, CNQ or CVE, TOU, and KEY for each RRIF (2 for each RRIF). Would you be OK with such a move? Please rank these 5 stocks for safety and upside.

Another move I was considering is to raise our US exposure by buying Vanguard’s ETF VDE. (According to Portfolio Analytics, we’re underweight in the energy sector, as well as USA). Would you endorse this purchase, which would be for our non-registered account? Am I correct in assuming that any withholding taxes shouldn’t prevent this purchase in a non-registered account?

I also manage our son’s TFSA, and unfortunately his holding in PKI is down by quite a bit. I intend to hold it, but would certainly exit it if 5i drops it from the Balance Equity Model Portfolio. Is 5i considering such a move?

Please deduct sufficient credits, and thanks as always for your insight and guidance.

Q: Hi team!

I've owned both SU and CNQ over the years and I have done well on both. It is my impression that when comparing these two, you tend to prefer SU over CNQ, but given SU's underperformance, dividend cut and operational issues, shouldn't CNQ be the preferred choice. CNQ has gone from about $10 during the pandemic crash to $66 while SU has gone from $16 to $36 because of the issues noted above. Suncor is cheaper, but maybe its cheaper for a reason. Operational issues are still a factor as recently as December and early January.

Q: Assuming oil prices remain range bound for the next 12 months at today's level, can you suggest some decent energy companies to buy for (up to a )1 year hold? Thank you.

Q: I want to acquire a full position in Suncor (5% of my portfolio). It has been on a tear since the middle of December and currently trades significantly above its 20 day moving average. I don't want to buy all the shares at the current price. What strategy would you suggest I use to purchase these shares ?

Q: I am underweight both consumer cyclicals and energy. Today, which would you buy: MG, SU or ENB? Goal is income, plus some growth. Thank you.

Q: Assuming the price of oil remains relatively strong for the next 1-2 years, please rank these three companies in terms of their upside potential over that period.

Thanks, Rick

Q: Hello Peter and Team

I have above stocks in my TFSA account. I am down CAE 10%, NVEI 47%, ENGH 17%, KXS 24%, LSPD 12%, QIPT 18%.

Normally I will consider all of them as good growth stocks but with the rotation now hapening in the market, I am wondering if I should keep them for the next 12 months or I should switch to more value stocks.

I value you opinion

Raouf

Q: Could you please provide your top two picks in both the materials and energy sectors?
I don't have any investments in materials now and wonder if I should have something. Currently I hold ENB and PKI in energy and am thinking of switching PKI for TOU or SU.
The remainder of my portfolio is well balanced and as a retiree stability and income are more important than speculative growth.
