Q: I hold all 4 of these stocks in my portfolio and because of the decrease in the price of oil all are on the small side as a percentage of my portfolio. Thinking of rolling all into one stock and wondering what stock you feel will recover quickest in an oil recovery and which stock do you feel is the safest.

Q: I intend crystallizing a loss on CNQ and was trying to decide on buying a company in roughly the same business so that I stay in the market segment. SU might be the obvious choice but have some already. Can you suggest some alternatives from the those noted or others, preferably with a divided.
Btw I find the dividend updates very useful.
Thanks

Q: I am planning to take some losses as offsets to capital gains from previous years. In some cases, I am considering replacements as well. Please advise of any concerns with, or suggest alternatives to, the following sale (purchase) plan.
Sell HWO, PSI & IPL (buy PPL and AQN - already own ENB, ALA & KEY)
Sell SU & CJ (buy CNQ and PXT - already own ARX). I also have a sizeable loss on VET, but consider that is presently so far below comparables, that I should wait for some recovery – or sell now and move on?
Sell HR.UN (buy another REIT, possibly TCN.UN and/or ERE.UN - already own IIP.UN & NWH.UN).
Sell CHR.

Q: Please take as many question credits
you need to fully answer this. I would like growth and reasonably safe stocks. I have losses in all of these; should I sell and take the loss? Hold as they are likely to recover in next 6--12 months? Thanks. Helen

Q: The stock keeps shrinking. What are the odds that Vermillion will simply disappear.
Q: I have a fairly large position on VET averaging at $5.27/share, comprising of 13% of overall portfolio, which I can hold on for 1 - 2 years. With the price now at $3.94.. I am considering if I should hold on or buy more to lower my average cost. If I recall correctly, you mentioned earlier about VET having a going concern issue.. and also having a good bounce in recovery; if it survives till then. I'd rather hold than book a loss; I'll sell only if its a major going concern issue.
Can you please advise if I should hold, buy or sell. I will make my own decision on what works best for you me; but your candid advise would be very helpful. Much thanks for your excellent service!

Q: Hello 5i, I purchased these stocks at a much higher (higher) price. As we approach tax loss selling , which ones are worth keeping? and which ones sell now?

Q: hi guys at what price would vet have to get to before it would start to pay a dividend again or do you think they wont?
Q: Down considerably on Vet. Would a switch to arx be wise?

Q: With a 75% loss in the above companies, is it advisable to hold for a five year period for a good return on the present value as the sale proceeds would be quite small.
Q: Are there any risks of vermillion going into bankruptcy? They did do a large acquisition a while back, is their debt an issue as a result? I've seen in some other companies, that the maturity of their debt is a major concern. Is this an issue with vermillion.
Q: I am using CPG as a proxy for VET.
Based on the recent Q&A, I assume you prefer VET over CPG going forward once the artificial loss window expires?
Reinstating the dividend should give it quite the pop. I'm guessing that it would be a priority for them, but not likely to happen anytime soon
Cheers.

Q: I'm down 5o% on my VET shares. Hold on for a rebound or could you suggest a replacement or two looking for a dividend.
Q: Within the context of tax loss harvesting, what would be good proxies for the following stocks: NFI, SIS, and VET. And can you assign an estimated "beta score" for the proxies. i.e. 1.0 should have very similar performance.
Also, with a year like this, should we expect heavy tax loss selling towards the end of the year?

Q: Hello team,
Shares of VET in the US fell hard (by about 18%) on Thursday and another 2% after hours. I know oil is not doing well but isn't this a bit of an overreaction? Unless, something else is going on with the company. Anything material?
I have a full size position and wonder what the best course of action is: add, hold, or lighten up at a loss? I have a very long investment horizon and this is my only investment in oil.
Thanks a lot for your guidance especially in these crazy times.

Q: What are your views of the management changes at Vermillion. I do not thinks running a company by committee is a very good idea. Your thoughts please.

Q: I own the following and thought: WCP ( good assets good balance sheet),
CJ ( slow decline rates), VET ( Brent prices) And they were all paying great dividends ! What could go wrong eh?
The model of great dividends in this sector is broken and not to return.
These stocks represent a small part of my portfolio.
Believing that the market will do its work eventually , I am looking at selling these and replacing with PXT which is one of your favourites in this sector. Would you expect it to bounce back to the same degree as the others or more / less?
Emotionally it is very difficult to sell your losers, always hoping they will come back, but have found once I sell them, they are not daily reminders of the money I have lost.
PXT has a strong balance sheet, good assets and management. Is their oil sold and refined within the region? Would you buy in RRSP,TFSA or CASH account.? Thanks. Derek

Q: I am a "buy and hold" long term investor. I have held these stocks for over five years on the assumption that at least one of the pipelines would be built and the stocks would regain at least some of their losses. Of course that hasn't happened. With the Covid-19 situation I am concerned about a serious downturn in the economy during the next 18 months. As these stocks are already extrememly low, I am wondering if they will survive, let alone improve, during the next year or so. Based on income, debt levels, and future prospects, please rank each company according the possibility of failure.

Q: What do you think is the best way to play potential return to reasonable pricing for oil? USO - merged with HUC or a company like SU? No one can make money at these current prices even though they have gone up nicely recently.
