Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I have a very small weighting in oil and gas and would like to increase it slightly with 1 more name. The two that I own so far are PEY and VET . If I will own 3 for a long term hold ,total return, dividends and capital gains, are those two fine to be 2 of the 3.
If so, please recommend one of the following with your reasoning to add. If you would drop PEY or VET in order to have 2 of the ones listed below, please advise

CNQ,FUR,RRX,SU,TOG or WCP

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: hello 5i:
I'm looking at a possible upgrade for our portfolio, as almost all energy names are down (and substantially), to date. Please rank the following, best to worst, using dividend, safety and growth in that order as criteria. This is a long term hold, so > 3 years. And would ALA be a better fit in the Utilities sector than energy?
thanks

Q: Hello 5i
I hold the above 4 companies in a taxable account that are down approx. 25%. I would like to sell to take a tax loss against future capital gains, and repurchase after 30 days. What might you suggest deploying the funds into in the mean time to still keep the sector allocation?
Thank you
Les

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).
