Q: Hi Team 5i,

I have been patiently awaiting the recovery of the O&G sector. I am under water on the list of 9 stocks listed. I have been patient and have harvested dividends and DRIPed in the meantime (bank brokerage DRIPing). But with the current US admin and shift to renewable energy sources, I am concerned that the recovery may be a long time (decades ?) away. My question is ... if I chose to sell a few of the above stocks, which do you think might be the poorist performers given the current energy environment and therefore could have the longest time to recover).

Q: Hello, I am looking to buy an energy stock and was considering one the these two. I would appreciate if you can provide pros and cons of both and which one you believe will perform better and why.
Are there any other energy names you would recommend which have good BS and valuations.

Q: Am thinking of increasing my Energy Sector. Already have SU & ARX and considering adding CNQ or VET. What would be your choice here and how would that (or any other you would prefer) compare with SU & ARX? Looking at the next 1 to 2 yrs only. Of course I understand you may say 'don't increase'. Always look forward to your answers. Thks guys

Q: Hello Team could I get your thoughts on Arx. I thought I saw in it's finacial report that it's payout ratio is over 100% and it's debt ratio is climbing. This concerns me due to the price of natural gas. I am up on the stock but wondering if I should not sell before they cut their dividend. With that I was also looking at buying some williams cos/partners wmb but looking at selling my Pembina - ppl stock for it. I also hold some trp. What are your thoughts on that

Q: I have a non-registered account that DRIPs all my holdings, some of them for the past 10 years. I am retiring this year and the plan is to stop the DRIPs and start withdrawing monthly dividend income. The account is expected to provide about 1/3 of our income, with the rest coming from pensions, OAS, CPP and RRSP draw downs. I am interested in any comments or changes you would suggest to this portfolio: arx, sgy, wcp, cpg, tog, hr.un, rei.un, d.un, ax.un, ipl, key, ppl, bce, spb, pki and stb. Thanks.

Q: I have no energy stocks in any of my portfolios at present and wonder if taking a position in ARX for my RRIF would be prudent at this time. As you know, the stock has been trading significantly lower than the new issue price of $22.55 and provides a dividend over 5%. I have room in both my non-registered account and TFSA if you think either would be a better strategy. Thank you.
