Q: Hi 5i,

I've noticed a massive divergence in the price of oil and oil companies. Can I please have your analysis of this, and what are your favorite stocks in this sector for a long term position. I'm also looking for shareholder friendly, low debt play.

Thx.

Q: Hi.

Do you agree with TD's move on TOU from Buy to Hold? They also downgraded IMO to a sell. With the anticipated increase in demand for Nat Gas, in spite of TOUs low FCF yield, I would think there is runway for them. Any comments on both IMO and TOU?

Q: Hi 5I Team,

What are your thoughts at this time on International Petroleum? With its sustained share buyback program the outstanding float is being constantly reduced. Would this factor make it a compelling investment?

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,
I want to invest in a large cap energy stock that is well run, with solid balance sheet and generate increasing free cash flow. Valuation is lower than peers with lots of upside for capital gain. I’m debating between SU, CNQ and CVX. Which one of these would you pick and why? Or if there is another better candidate? Thanks.

Q: Recognizing that I never got past Economics 101 , I see the oil industry as having terrible supply and demand dynamics .We are oversupplied even with
OPEC + purposely restraining output and worldwide oil reserves continuing to grow. The oil energy sector continues to be pressured by the green energy politics and technology. With 2 significant wars going on and supply lines being restrained by Houthi activity , the price of oil has been less than spectacular. Canadian oil companies are cheap for a reason. Please provide another view on this sector. Thanks. Derek

Q: Morning 5i, thanks for the continued great info; we own IMO and CNQ; what's your opinion for a smaller co to join this group; ie: WCP or TOU ? Is there another you like instead ? Besides the need for the resource the higher yields should attract capital with rates trending down. Thank you.

Q: With lng Canada online soon, things are looking good in the years ahead for Nat gas Price in general but there is also a recession risk if we dont get a soft landing. My question is would you be confortable holding a full oil&gas positions atm or keep a decent cash position like mr. Buffet .
I'm not sure how big of an impact a recession might have on the Sector given whats ahead with current lng development and the Sector being already depressed as it is, how much further down could it go if we do get the recession

Q: Good morning,

I am thinking of adding Gibson Energy at an initial 1-2% weight. Looking for income, moderate dividend growth, and some price appreciation potential. I am a little light in the energy space with current holdings in CNQ/SU/WCP, and am hoping you will think this might be a decent addition.

Thoughts?

Thanks as always.
