Q: Would you buy any of these oil stocks at present?
If so, is there one that you would prefer?
Might it be safer to invest in an ETF?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: I am trying to understand oil and gas pricing and how the war in Iran affects them. I get that oil prices will rise during these times. What I don't understand is (a) why local gas pump prices rose so soon (the gas in the ground at my local gas station was bought several weeks ago!); and (b) why does oil from the tar sands, for example, increase immediately in price when Suncor's customers, I believe, are largely in North America and therefore don't compete against Iranian oil? From a valuation point of view, is the price for oil and gas companies simply reflecting the windfall profits being made on both the sudden increase in prices and the subsequent profits that will be reaped, since prices never go down as fast as they go up? If the hostilities ended tomorrow, would you expect the share prices to drop by 30% or so, given how much they have increased since December?

Appreciate your insight (particularly on this complicated topic).

Q: I was thinking of selling both QSR and TOU and buying SU and/or adding to EIF, X, or H. What do you think of this move? Would you have any better suggestions for stocks that pay a dividend but also offer some growth? I also have FIE in the financials space so no more financials and I own CNR already. Thank you.

Q: I have these oil and gas companies, a number of them since covid so have enjoyed good dividends and lots of upside. I have recently read about being in or going into a commodity super cycle, as well as the idea of the "Halo" trade which you have written about. So the question for me is about selling - something I am not good at! When looking at the charts of many of these stocks they have long cycles of going up and then down quite severely over a six to nine year cycle. What do we look for as far as it being time to sell? Are we getting to that peak now or do you think we have a long runway still to come? Thanks so much?

Q: In reviewing your answers to various questions on these two you seem fairly agnostic? I note that SU has been growing their dividend at a pretty good clip over the past 5 years. Is there anything that tilts the decision for a 10+ year hold either in terms of differences in risk or opportunity, or truly a coin flip? Thanks,

Q: Under a scenario where Trump gets his aggressive rate cuts, US unemployment rises as lay-offs continue, U.S. personal debt delinquencies continue to rise and US national debt increases even further, what segments could see a lift? Segments to avoid? Please provide 10 favourite Canadian stocks under that scenario.

Q: Could you provide your thoughts on Suncor results.

How is stock's present valuation ?

Is it safe to buy/add at current levels or wait for a pullback ?

Thank You

Q: Follow your balanced and income portfolio I am wondering what order would you add today Included RY and DOL also because of their growth over the last year. Please include rationale of the top 4. Thanks as always.

Q: Markets still look somewhat overevaluated and are volatile : what sector(s) could represent an entry point with no excessive risk actually , real estate looking interesting among others ?

Q: Do you think it’s time to buy oil company stocks and which two would you suggest

Q: Suncor is on a bit of a tear recently. It has just surpassed its 2008 peak. Is that relevant? I have held it for ages and I have never been impressed, but it is one of my few oil and gas stocks. Any thoughts are appreciated?
Thanks

Q: Could you please share your recommendations regarding my energy sector investments? I feel like I have too many and some may be overlapping. Additionally, could you suggest a few investments inside this sector that are currently not being covered?

I aim for a balanced approach with a mix of growth and income, intending to hold these investments for more than two years.

Thank you,

Q: Can you explain why CNQ has dropped substantually more than SU after USA's incursion into Venezuala. Would you add to CNQ on this substantial drop if you believe the drop is unwaranted.
