Q: What is your current view on TPZ over the next 12-15 months?
Research that I have seen seems to indicate positive growth expectations over the next year but I am not convinced that the markets are viewing the company in the same way. I own the shares, being down slightly, and I am debating whether to continue holding the shares or to sell? Your thoughts please. Thanks.

Q: I own these energy stocks and some are on the plus side and others are on the losing side. I've been waiting for quite some time for the Chinese economy to take off, but it seems to go nowhere ? I would like to trim some of my holdings. Please place them in order of what you would keep down to some you would let go. Maybe you could code them as 10 being the best and 1 as being the worst. Thanks.

Q: Good Morning
I woud appreciate it if you could provide me with Credit Ratings for the following companies as I have been unable to find the information. Maybe your Bloomberg will help me.
EIF, NWC, TPZ, FRU, PKI.
Do you consider the credit Rating to be a very important metric by which one can judge the safety of a company and of it's dividend?
Thank you............ Paul W. K.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and 5i team,

You answered Maureen's question about TOU and TPZ as follows:

"We like both, but would consider TOU more of a growth story and TPZ more for income. We would be comfortable with a swap if that matches an investors' objectives."

How would you answer if WCP was the stock I'm considering to sell (not TPZ) in order to buy more TOU? (I realize that WCP is more of a growth story, but it's quite a bit more volatile than TOU.)

Thanks for your insight.

Q: I hold a 2.4% position in TOU and a 1.2% position in TPZ in a non registered account. TOU has had greater upside (65% for me) and probably still has legs over the very long term. Capital gain on TPZ is 17.25% and the dividends are solid. TPZ seems to be more an income play than a growth play. I was thinking about selling TPZ and adding to TOU for greater potential growth (5 to 10 year horizon). Currently I hold about 10% energy in Exploration and Production companies combined, but would be swapping securities rather than adding new money. Capital gains from selling TPZ would be manageable with enough capital loss offsets. Is this a good idea or should I continue to hold TPZ?

I have divided my energy holdings into E & P companies (10%) and pipelines (15% -- largely for income -- and in many respects the pipelines are closer to utilities than to oil production companies)

Q: Hello, I want to invest in natural gas. If you had to choose either Tourmaline or Topaz today, which one would you invest in? The yield is 1.4% and 5.2% respectively, and my understanding is that Topaz is a more natural gas focus company than Tourmaline. Is it better to hold these companies in a registered account or not? Thank you

Q: HI, This retired income couple want to invest 5K for our 20 year old grand daughter from our TFSA. To do so we have to sell some of our holdings in this account. Our largest holding SLF to our smallest TPZ are available with profits in most. Please suggest best to worst to select for raising the necessary cash. Our plan is to use the cash to purchase VGT.US or perhaps your other preferred etfs to be used in about 3-5 years. Thanks
