Q: Hi 5i,

I am currently 5% down on CPG in a non registered account. I am thinking of using this loss to offset my capital gains. I understand that there is a 30 day waiting period before entering into the same stock, but does this apply if I want to purchase before 30 days in a RRSP or TFSA instead of the non registered.
Thank you.
Janice

Q: I like CPG for a long term hold but am currently significantly under water due to the falling oil prices. I have Capital gains in other stocks that I would like to offset. I am considering selling CPG for the tax loss and buying it back 31 days later. In the meantime I will buy a energy ETF with the funds to protect me if oil rebounds in the short term. If all stays the same or worse, I will sell the ETF after 31 days and buy back CPG. Your thoughts?

Q: Peter and Team,

I currently have the following energy producers in the portfolio:
AEI 3.5%
PPY 3.9%
TOU 3.5%
PEY 4.3%
CPG 3.1%

With a total energy producer weighting of 18.3% I am wondering if I should trade my CPG shares for something like Black Diamond group. The dividend is lower on Black Diamond but I think the quality of company is better and I think they treat shareholders better. What are your thoughts on a best choice for recovery from current prices and good dividends? As a side note, I hold BAD (4.9%) as well in case it matters in terms of sector exposure.

Thanks,

Marc

Q: Have held CPG for some time and have noted your comments comparing Crescent Point to others like Surge and Whitcap. Have not made the switch as had large Capital Gain position. With the pull back in Energy this tax consideration has shrunk. Would a switch at this time make sense and what Oil Co would you recommend for income and growth. I have Peyto for my Gas position. Each of these position represents 2% of my portfolio and would be long term holds

Q: Hi Peter and 5iResearch Team,
I know that you have concerns regarding the management team of Crescent Point, CPG. However, I am wondering how is it positioned relative to the other Companies, such as CNQ, TOU, etc., with respect to recent declines in oil price, its US oil and gas reserves, etc.. I'm kicking myself today, as I bought a small position yesterday… I always ask you first before I buy…and I didn't!
Thank you. Linda

Q: Crescent Point Energy is a name I've held for just over 2 years now. I was essentially even prior to the deal being announced yesterday in terms of stock price but had collected 6.5% per year in dividends. I am curious on the 5i Teams' opinion on CPG's acquisition.

On first blush I was disappointed to see them issuing shares yet again and swore I'd sell if they did that. However, my rough calculations show that, even with the share issue, they should generate more cash flow per share. So maybe its not so bad?

I'd love your thoughts!

Q: Good morning. I would appreciate your comments on CPG Crescent Point which released Q4 results today. They do continue to grow production and reserves but also net debt was up 18%. They use the metric net debt to funds flow which is down 9% reflecting production and revenue growth. Does this make you feel any better about the company's balance sheet?
