Q: I am looking to "trim the fat" from my TFSA, which currently holds 20 stocks: ATD, BCE, BMO, BNS, CCO, CM, ENB, FFH, PDYPF, INO.UN, LAS, NXE, NWC, NA, NTR, PEY, PZA, MJJ, TRP, WELL. Are there any positions that raise red flags with you? In addition, could you suggest 3 or 4 value picks suitable for a long-term hold (20 years plus)?
Thank you!

Q: On the supply side, dry gas prices are low and drilling activity has been scaled way back (storage is full to the brim).

On the demand side, the potential for a cold winter on the coasts, increased adoption of EV, conversion of coal to gas, vaccine driven Covid economic recovery, etc.

It looks like there's potential for a pinch in the market on the price of gas. If that was the case (I'd like to hear your thoughts on that), what companies would see the most positive response in share price?

Q: Seems nat gas has been on an upswing lately. I know you can't buy Canadian equities but would you buy into this trend now you could, and if so, which of the above 3 companies has the most upside. Are there other companies you would recommend?

Q: I would like to comment that I think your service is best in class! Question: With Natural Gas near recent all time lows could you suggest 2 or 3 names in this space that could have upside if/when natural gas commodity pricing improves.

Q: Hi Ryan and Peter,

I have held PNE for years and years and have a cost base of $1+. I lost so much money on it that I just sort of tucked it away. Now BMO turns bullish on nat gas, Andrew McCreath says dry gas is the best and PNE has it in spades. Now today the stock is up +20%!

On one hand, it has high debt and they have never turned a profit. On the other, there is large insider ownership and they are still buying.

What is your outlook for the sector? How does this dry gas and your nat gas outlook effect PNE’s projected earnings? Would you average down here?

I was also too chicken to buy birchcliff at 60 cents but should I now get in on this space either averaging down, going with a new company or staying away all together?

Thanks guys! Keep up the great work.

Q: Hi 5i Research Team:

I have traded Forex before and am new to stock trading. 90% of my RRSP, RESP and TFSA is in cash and I'd like to avail the current market conditions by "gradually" buying the dips.. and holding it over the long term, 5 to 10 years. I understand that no one can time the market or its bottom.

After exploring the reports and questions on your site, I have identified the enclosed 29 stocks based on following criteria:
- Current Retracements of > 75% over 52 week high & low
- Dividend Yield > 5% (in some cases, like WEED, which is a bit risky, I understand there's no dividend in the near term.. and I am simply going for the upside swing over the next 2 years... same for CRON and Air Canada)

Considering my 90% cash position and strategy to partially buy in on dips over the next few weeks, can you please advise if my stock selection is sound. In addition to my stock picks, please advise anything else that I should keep in mind.

Thanks for everything you do. Much appreciate.

Q: It seems Peyto has continued to drop from the levels mentioned in a lot of previous questions on the company. I understand why investor sentiment is low on sector but it seems way overdone at this point for Peyto. Do you see any new obstacles management is ignoring? Also see that the consensus '20 earnings are forecast at $0.20 for the year but I just can't seem to figure out why they would be that low. Have a recent position and thinking of averaging down or adding to another portfolio.

Q: Hi,
Peyto is one of the securities that likely will get dropped from the TSX index this month due to is low capitalization (below the rate required to stay in the index). My question is .... why with this impending removal from the listing is this stock moving up significantly the last week or so? Do you see other factors influencing the price, and would you consider buying at this time?
Thanks .

Q: What is your view of Peyto today, its still making money and the monthly report from the CEO Darren Gee for July 2019 puts a value of the shares at over $20.00.(Tangible Infrastructure $8.20/share + Reserves $27.07/share - total Debt $7.21/share). But here we are today it went below $3 for the first time. What happens if it stays below $3, do any mutual funds or ETF's have to sell?
Thanks,
George
