Q: I like to add an energy company that can give a combination of growth potential and decent yield (around 4%). Between SU and GEI which one will be your pick? I know SU at market cap of $62 billion is considerably larger than GEI's $4 billion. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I was wondering what your opinion is of the Morningstar Quant reports which can be found within TD Direct investing. For example, each of these stocks are noted as ‘undervalued’ or significantly‘undervalued’. As well, they have little or no moat, and some are high or very high risk. Their stock prices are/have dropped a bit.
Would you consider it realistic decision making to include them in the mix of info resources?

Also, could you kindly rank these stocks if one were doing this year’s TFSA amount- it’s a small sum so is it best applied to one stock or divided?

I have SU and CNQ, similar amounts invested in each and both are above water a little.

Please deduct however many credits you like. Thank you for helping me!

Q: Hello Peter,

Being a relatively long term member, I have greatly benefited from having my portfolio mimic the 5i Balanced portfolio and a selection from the 5i Growth Stocks. I have not yet sold out of WCP and switched to SU. Before I do, I was wondering you thoughts on taking the WCP proceeds and adding to MX instead? I am growing impatient waiting for an Energy turnaround and MX seems to trade like one anyway, but I like the fundamentals more. I already have a full position in ENB. Some commentators on CNBC (i.e. Cramer) is of the opinion that millennial fund manager hate fossil fuels, so oil stocks may be in the doldrums for a long time, or worse broken stocks forever. Of course, this could very well be a bottom when everyone "hates" this group.

As always, thanks for the continued great service!
Angelo

Q: I am invested in the balanced portfolio and would like to understand what makes SU more attractive than IMO?
EPS and D/E appear similar and the SU dividend is slightly higher.
P/E for SU is 14 vs 9.6 for IMO.
Thank you for sharing your insight.

Q: I did a screen on "undervalued" companies with growing dividends. My aim is income and dividend growth. Possibly a DRIP if available. Which 2 companies would you choose and why?

Q: I sold WCP for the tax loss with the intention of buying it back after 30 days. Now that the 30 days has passed, I am questioning if I should repurchase it or if I would be better off with something else. It was my only energy sector holding and I am looking to fill the void with a new full position. What would be your best choice(s) for immediate purchase with the following criteria:
-Canadian energy sector
-Pays a dividend (can be small or large)
-Relatively strong balance sheet
-Will be able to weather $50 /barrel oil indefinitely but should nonetheless see some big gains when/if the Canadian sector turns around
