Q: Hi, I am trying to reduce/consolidate number of stocks in my portfolio and also raise some cash. Except SJ (1.5%), all others mentioned here currently have < 1% position. I am holding YGR and BDI for Energy exposure, as my only other holdings in the sector are ENB (3.5%) and PKI (1.7%). I also like the momentum and prospects, based recent developments and your comments on COV and waiting for an opportunity to add on a pullback. RHT, VB and DOL were purchased in small quantities, at the time of addition to 5i potfolios. I also like SJ, and think, market is not assigning it proper valuation at this time. So, I am considering selling RHT, VB and DOL and use some cash to add to SJ. What is your opinion ? Do you believe, there are any near term catalysts for these 3 companies to hold on for now or it should be fine to liquidate. Thanks

Q: Hi there,

I am contemplating buying into Black Diamond (BDI). Since June it has been trundling upward making higher lows on what seems to be a nice recovery. It seemed to have two points of resistance, one at about 2.50 and one at 2.82 according to my charting program and has burst through each moving to 3.02 on higher volume. So if it's clear that I like the technical side of the chart I'm wondering if you can tell me if you feel that fundamentals support a buy? I'm hoping recent momentum and the volume surge suggest a nice continued bounce toward 52 week high.

Q: Hello 5i,

Just a question about insider purchases ...
BDI has had ongoing purchases by Edward Kernaghan, of Indirect Ownership of Common Shares.
https://www.canadianinsider.com/company?ticker=BDI
For the past couple of months he (or his groupl) have been buying small (<500) and large lots (>60,000) on a daily basis.
I am assuming he is purchasing these for clients but it seems odd that it has been going on for as long as it has (since October).
From your experience, what if any insight can be gleaned form this information?
Any info or comments would be welcome!
Thanks,

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: Just a follow up to my question about my dividend sustainability question for BDI. You say the dividend was cut; do you mean it was cut entirely (to zero)? My ticker and the Globe show an 8% dividend.

So, if:

1) there is no dividend, what source should I be using when looking at stocks to make sure I have the whole picture.

2) if the dividend is still 7.9%, is that sustainable?

Thanks again,

Rick
