Q: Good Afternoon
ARX is almost touching the lows not seen since the great recession and financial crisis of 2008/09. It is my understanding that the environment for energy companies is not favourable but no other energy company has performed as bad as ARX. Are there any other reasons unknown to us?
I will appreciate your comments with respect to ARX going forward. The dividend has been cut only once since the 2008 recession. Do you see any possibility for a dividend cut?
At this level is the stock a hold/sell or buy?
Thank you

Q: Good Day Looking at dipping my toe back into the energy sector. Please rate ARX and WCP. How strong are their balance sheets? Does 5i have a better play on energy. Or is it just to early for the energy sector?

Q: ARX seems to be weaker than peers and sector lately, any red flag(s) other than the normal year end loss selling and sector dependency?

If I decide to sell but want to stay weighted in same sector, which name should I switch to for Income? or should I just stay put?

Thanks & Happy Holidays.

Q: Hello 5i, I am considering on taking a position in either Peyto or Arc. Could you comment on a comparison of the 2 as to what their payout ratio is and how safe the distribution is also your opinion on these 2 companies. Would you have a better recommendation on an energy company and if so which one. Also on your old website on the right side there was a selection by year and month of questions answered I see that it is now gone or how do I find this info.
Thanks

Q: I hold several hundred shares of ARX in my non-registered account and am wondering about trading them out for BIR? My only real reason for considering this swap is to realize the tax-loss on the ARX shares since I am down roughly 45% since purchase. I understand them both to be gas oriented producers. Do you consider one company to be superior to the other in terms of management, leverage to a rebound, dividend sustainability, and long term prospects? Is this a switch that you would recommend at this time?

Q: How does Natural gas look to you going forward. If one was to believe in this sector, which looks best ALA,ARX to TOG for appreciation

Thanks

Q: In the event that the price of oil falls dramatically this year, how would you rank the following six companies with respect to their ability to withstand a prolonged and precipitous decline: VII, ARX, BIR, TOG, VET, CPG ? Would any of them be cause for concern, or would you keep holding? Also, what are the main factors you take into consideration when making this kind of determination (balance sheet, market cap, oil vs gas exposure, etc)? Thanks for your reply.

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.
