Investment Q&A

Q: 5i: Just realised the yield of over 5%. Wow! What is your take? Sustainable? Considering swapping to Su from Vet which I am still down today at about 22%. Make any sense? Tks. Larry

Q: Hi 5i: Even with a nice recovery I am still down 28% with vet.Would you advise to hold or do you think I could diversify to other sectors with more upside to recoup the loss.If I include enb I am overweight in energy. I need 22.60 to break even with vet. Tks. And all the best for all for 22. Larry

Q: VET is my worst performing oil stock, and I’m thinking of selling as a tax loss harvest. Which stock would you buy as it’s replacement? I’m thinking of perhaps NNRG? Do you agree with this strategy? Do you have another “better” replacement?
Thanks

Q: Vermillion announced resumption of its dividend and received (so far) two increases to analysts' target prices - but today's price action is pretty harsh. Does this suggest tax loss selling, or something less temporary? Can you explain the formula proposed for the dividend? Thanks.

Q: Could you please comment on the recent quarter results and do they really justify an 11%plus share price drop and selloff inspite of possible reinstatement of dividend in 22? Currently am hanging in with a 40% loss.Any advice on average down ,hold or sell/swap for better loss recovery? Much appreciate any input.Thanks for great service Larry

Q: Vermillion has been quite a bit higher in the past years. Now with oil around $80, although the stock is up it is not getting back to where it was a few years ago. Is it company specific issues like maybe debt or does the market not trust oil staying at $80? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Just wondering what you think of this company and the chance that they might re-institute the dividend?

Q: Hello 5iii

Just looking for your perspective on the energy sector / wti increase having further gains to year end or even Q1 22 ? I have many positions that are near back to break even or now even positive. Please advise TY

Q: Is your opinion on VET improving? Seems like they might be at the "right place, right time" since a fair chuck of their cash flow is associated with European natural gas. The supply there is being pinched by Russia and spot prices are rising rapidly. Haven't looked in detail but it seems that VET's cash flow should be very high going forward, especially if they can hedge at high prices. Would guess they can reinstate some dividend. Thoughts?

Q: Eric Nuttall has an interesting column in the Financial Post today saying investing in oil and gas right now is a 'generational opportunity', that Canadian oil and as are hugely undervalued and could double in a year. What do you think of increasing oil and gas holdings? How much do you think would be appropriate right now and do you still think Suncor is the way to go? I notice you have only a very small 1% holding in the balanced portfolio.

Q: what top 5 small cap resource companies do you like in todays market or do you think that there are other sectors to keep an eye on instead

Q: I currently own these stocks that are underperforming in my portfolio and would like to sell and invest elsewhere.

What stocks do you recommend I sell?

Q: Greetings 5i,

I like VET. I think there is value here for the patient.

Can you please explain Vermilion's current HEDGE obligations. With oil prices recently higher than the current did they manage to get locked in to reasonable prices?

Secondly, on the company website it mentions a Sustanability transition and a geothermal project coming to fruition this fall. Will VET no longer be a O&G producer in the future? What are your thoughts on this.

Cheers!

Q: Why does Vermilion Energy keep going down? They had reported great Q2 results. I have them at $2.79 actual versus estimate .05 . I know Oil keeps going down. Do they have too much Debt? Going forward for the rest of this year, what are their estimates? In addition, could I please have their total financial results? Thank you

Q: Hi, I’m missing the dividend on this stock, I guess it will not return soon? Could you rate it on a scale of one(worst) to ten.
I’m also selling for a capital loss , and possibly buy back. Would you sell now or wait till Nov. Dec. tax loss season? Would you even buy back as it seems to be a laggard compared to TOU.
Thanks

Q: I bought VET awhile ago and am still underwater on it but am optimistic about the future. What is your view?

Q: I have stayed away from energy, except for ENB and TC, which are pipelines.
Do you think there is more upside in the O & G stocks. If so what would you suggest?
Also the same goes for basic materials. I am not interested in gold. What would be your picks for basic materials.
Thanks for your service, I would be lost without it.

Q: Back in 2018 (seems so long ago) you described AOI as “It is setting up to be an interesting value proposition.”
Does this statement still hold true and are there other micro-oil & gas companies out there that might be worth a look? Thanks!

Q: Can you please provide three names in the energy sector that have decent balance sheets and are highly levered to rising oil prices.

Aslo the same regarding ag companies levered to rising agricultural prices.

Thank you
