Q: I have a 3.5% position in CPG, and I have a 1% position in TOU and a 2.5% position in VET. My overall exposure to energy is around 12%. I am not looking to decrease my energy exposure, but I am considering consolidating my position into fewer names. Would you consider a transition from CPG to either TOU or VET to be a sound move, and if so, which would you choose? VET offers a better dividend, but TOU is better positioned to take advantage of a rise in natural gas, which seems like a real possibility over the next 3-6 months. Thanks so much!

Q: Peter, as I build up new cash balances to invest, I need to resist the temptation to keep buying new stocks but, rather, to add to existing positions - simply to avoid to point where I'd have 80 or more stocks! I have an account that currently holds modest positions in Exco, K-Bro, and Tourmaline. With a 5-year time frame, which of those three would you expect to produce the best total gain? Or, since the account also holds the Horizons ETF HXT, would you be inclined to prefer that broad basket (although, obviously, diversification is not my concern!). Thank you.

Q: Hi,
My only energy exposure is WCP and TOU each at 4% (total 8% of portfolio)

(A) In the current economic environment, considering I am targeting growth, what % would you recommend for energy exposure?
(b) Do you like these two holdings for covering and diversifying my energy exposure? or are there alternatives you think might be better at this point? When I compare charts for TOU vs. PEY, for instance, my untrained eye seems to show that PEY is acting better than TOU over the last year.

Thank you

Q: I hold TOU, ALA, KEY. Down 18%, 24% and 13% respectively. This is all my direct oil/natural gas exposure which represents 17% of my entire portfolio.
I have 10+ years investment horizon for these stocks. These stocks fluctuate a lot which I don't mind but I dislike being underwater for a prolong period of time.

Should I stick with these names or should I make a switch to other oil companies like VET? If yes what names would you suggest and how should I divide the investment % wise? Which stock(s) to sell and which one to keep? Switch now or later?

The goal of the switch is to position myself for eventual(I believe) oil recovery.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I currently have 6 oil and gas stocks in a well diversified portfolio (PEY,RE,SU,SGY,TOU,WCP) and would like to high grade the list to 3-4 names by either selling some or all of them and replacing them with other names if necessary. What would you suggest? Thanks and keep up the excellent work.
Read Answer Asked by Sandy on June 07, 2016
Q: I have been holding TOU for the past year so I am still underwater even though it has recovered a bit this year. I recently reduced my position by about 25% thinking that the recovery in the energy sector would be short lived and I wante d to take some money off the table and maybe add later at a lower price.

Since then, TOU and other low cost gas producers have continued to go up so now I am a bit confused considering that nat gas prices continue to be weak. Can you please shed some light on the current dynamics in the nat gas market and your outlook for TOU.

Thank you.

Q: HSE, PXX and CNQ together make up a small percentage of my portfolio. I will hold CNQ but wonder whether you would consider it worthwhile to move from HSE and/or PXX to other energy Co's (TOU?) with better potential? Thanks Jim

Q: Hello Peter,
Any idea why Tourmaline oil's stock price hardly moves or moves lower whereas Birchcliff Energy and Paramount resources continues to climb higher given that paramounts' balance sheet is not as good as Tourmaline's. Thanks
