Q: What is the investment thesis behind TVE and why should investors be considering this stock in their energy portfolio?

It seems 5i is quite positive on the stock w/ a good holding in their Growth portfolio as well as making some of their top picks for energy names.

Curious to learn more about why this company makes a good investment ?

Q: Hello Peter,
Your opinion please.

With US going to 'run' Venezuelan heavy oil, what is the market reaction and impact to WCS, the producers and the pipelines that move Alberta oil to the USA? Is it time to go underweight on the energy sector for this year?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: I own these Mid Cap oils that have generally defied the downward oil pressures in 2025 and performed well. All with the exception of Baytex are in a significant gain position.

For the past few months i continue to hear of Oil surpluses, and prices in the 50s or even hi 40s in 2026 before outgrowing the oil surplus in 2027.

Do you think it advisable to sell some of this position and look at re-entry in mid to later 2026 to crystallize some of 2025's returns on these mid caps?

Q: There appears to be something wrong with the Market Cap amount on your report. TMX is saying there are 50M Total shares(All Classes) and 493M (Issued and outstanding shares). Quote Media is saying the are 493M shares. The 50M number multiplied by the Latest price gets the market cap on 5i and Quote Media of 383M. The 493M number multiplied by the latest price gets about $3.8B market cap which is shown on TD Cowen and Yahoo. Both numbers are shown on TMX. It would seem there is an error in the Total Shares at one of the data sources? I just noticed by chance as I use MC as a screening criteria and the 383M number didn't feel correct.

Q: The way things look right now, it is difficult to see how energy and materials (mining) won’t play a major role in keeping Canada afloat. It seems we have things the world needs/wants if we can get over our distaste for being prosperous. I’m wondering if you can suggest some “pick and shovel” plays in the space generally?

Q: Hi,
Have 1.3% in VHI and 0.9% in WELL. If you had to consolidate into one position, which would you choose? WELL has been frustrating as it goes on these big runs and then pulls back and can't seem to get any traction, whereas VHI seems more of a steady long term compounder that is in a nice uptrend which has pulled back and looks like a good opportunity to add now. Would you continue to diversify and hold both or consolidate now and just hold VHI?

Also have small positions <1% in TVE and WCP and would like to consoidate. Is the difference in whether an investor wants more growth (TVE) or income (WCP)? Which one do you see having more growth going forward? Already own TOU. Thank you!
