Q: I took a 5.3% position in VET last January and as of today am down 30%. (My only other oil stock is TOG at 3% weight and down 16%) I like the European holdings and dividend of VET but am getting nervious. I don't think I should buy more while it is on this very long downtrend since I bought it. Do you still like VET? Any hope for a recovery? It seems to be making money at current European prices. Why is the stock treated so badly?
What is your recommendation? I appreciate your thoughts?
Thanks, Dick

Q: Hi Peter & Ryan
In your collective opinion what would push Vet down and not WCP
I owned vet for some time and feel it is solid due to its international exposure but I think I am wrong .
I am down 10% and wonder if I should cut my losses and move on.
Kind regards
Stan

Thanks Jim

Q: please let me know your opinion on CPG. I have a small position, down 30%. It's worth keeping or look for something else? What do you think about HWO?
Thank you

Q: Looking to add to my oil exposure. Outlook is 5 years+ for investments. How would you rank these companies today based on valuations if oil would be at $60 down the road.

Q: My question is about oil. I am thinking of buying an oil company if the oil price gets back down to $40. Is this a good idea and do you have a suggestion for a good company to buy?

Q: I'm considering buying Surge Energy on the recent weakness. What are your thought? I like the dividend. But, what are the prospects for recovery on stronger oil prices? Is there a company you think presents a better opportunity at today's prices?

Q: With oil down, what would be your top picks for a rebound when oil picks up, without being too leveraged? I was thinking of Cardinal, with its nice yield (do you think it will need to be cut?) I already have some Spartan, but it seems to be a well run company. Other choices that are on sale? Thanks.

Would appreciate your current 6 top picks in oil and gas producers. 3 gas and 3 oil preferably.

Q: Hi 5i,

I do not have any oil/gas stock at the moment. I would like to start picking away at VET, WCP ad RRX with 1% position each or 2% for one or two only
I am a little hesitant for VET because of its recent behaviour lately and wonder if there may be a dividend cut coming. Would like your opinion for best action with these stocks. Thanks (consider this as 3 questions)

Q: Hi Team
I previously asked if adding Vermilion Energy to my portfolio to accompany Whitecap Resources would be ok. After reading your response (which was favourable to the idea) I did not yet pull the trigger as oil conttinues to be volatile.
At this stage should I buy more of WCP, to average down, I'm down 17% on the name or would this be a good time to add VET. The only other energy play in my portfolio is Enbridge.

Thank-you in advance. Sam
