Q: Hi Peter & Team;
VII is now down 15% on the news of missed production for 2017. This is the only energy stock that I own and represents 2.5% of my portfolio. I am down about 35%. Should I hold and see what happens in 2018 or dump it? I am reluctant to buy another energy stock if I sell.
Cheers
Ron

In your collective opinion what would push Vet down and not WCP
I owned vet for some time and feel it is solid due to its international exposure but I think I am wrong .
I am down 10% and wonder if I should cut my losses and move on.
Kind regards

Q: I am interested in potentially adding to XTC. I currently have a 2.5% position. I hold it instead of Magna in a portfolio that reflects your balanced portfolio. Any comments on their current earnings release? Would now be a good time to top up this position by 1% to 3.5% weighting?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Co.,
Can you please comment on PPL's most recent quarter - it appears to me to be good one. I hold this for income mostly, but would like to get your comments about the prospects for share price appreciation as well; the whole sector seems to be out of favour. Given the most recent results, do you anticipate dividend increases from this company going forward?
Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i team,
Can I get your assessment of FCR's most recent quarter? Appeared to be a bit lackluster to me. Apart from interest rate sentiment that seems to keeping most REIT share prices down, are there any heightened business risks to this company given the type and location of the properties they own? And is the current payout ratio reasonable in your opinion?
Many thanks,
Brian
