Q: Good Morning;

What do you feel is the best company for natural gas? Specifically, I am looking for a company with low debt, a dividend and a strong track history (good management).

I currently own a very small natural gas play (CQE) that is down 66%. I am seeking to move my remaining money into a company that will pay me to wait and provide an opportunity down the road to recoup my loss.

Q: WITH OIL SEEMING TO RECOVER SOME, MY CPG WILL LIKELY BE CALLED AWAY AT $ 12.00.
COULD YOU PROVIDE A FEW LAGERS IN THE OIL SPACE THAT MIGHT BE REPLACEMENTS AND ARE REASONABLE TO OWN. (have 1/2 positions in WCP & SGY )
THANKS

Q: Like most people, I'm down in the energy sector and not seeing much hope on the horizon. I hold VET, TOU and RRX. With VET I at least have a good dividend while I wait for a recovery but with TOU and RRX there is no dividend. Perhaps you think the other 2 will "bounce back" faster when there is a recovery and are worth holding anyway?

I'm inclined to keep 5% of my portfolio in energy but sell TOU and RRX and put the funds into VET or another dividend producing stock while I wait for the energy sector to recover. Does this seem like a good plan? Would having my energy funds in US companies be better?

If I do this change, do you have suggestions for Canadian or US dividend producing energy stocks? Thanks.

Q: Can you recommend a natural gas producer. Prefer in Canada and does not utilize fracking to extract the gas due to the negative views and risk of laws coming in to prevent it. As well a company that refines the natural gas and another that transports it. The best in each sector unless one does all three.

Q: Thanks for the update on why weed is going up today based on the announcement in California. Why is this affecting Canadian stocks? Also, are there names in US that one can speculate on that are like weed and APH in Canada? Gas stocks in Canada seem to be tied to oil price. Lately, oil is going up but BIR and TOU hardly move. I am almost to the point of throwing in the towel for Canadian names given the political climate in Canada with regards to energy and pipelines. Any comments? Thanks again.

Q: Hi,
Unfortunately I bought some of these energy stocks back in 2014 and I am down +30% on all of these. I have just over a 5% weight currently in energy (not including ALA, ENB and TRP which I've included as part of utilities). Which do you think I should continue to hold and which ones should I just throw in the towel and sell?? I am a long term growth investor.

Q: Hello Peter,
I have a 2.5% portfolio weight in energy stocks, constituting of HWO (down -33%) PONY (-76%) RRX (-31%) TOU (-53%) and WCP (-41%).
Should I sell all and crystallize the loss for tax purposes or are there any that you would suggest holding on? What percentage of the portfolio would you allocate to energy at this time and perhaps suggest 3-5 names in order of preference that I could invest either now or 30 days later when I can buy my tax loss divestment.
As always your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Regards

Q: Hello good 5i people,
I haven't owned any energy stocks for years. But I would like to add some. Could you recommend 3-4 top picks in the sector for long term growth?

Thx,
Mike

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan & Team,

For Energy exposure, I have RRX (down 25%), HWO (down 25%), and TOU (down 45%). As well as ENB, which I consider a utility.

For re-balancing purposes, my energy exposure is pretty thin. I know you don't recommend buying in negative momentum, but for adding to Engergy, I was thinking of topping these three up. Or can you think of any others you would replace these with, as RRX and HWO are in a taxable account.

Thank you for all you do,

Wes

Q: Good day - What are your best recommended/favorite oil and gas producers at this time? With and without dividend. Is a dividend paying producer something you would consider?
