He just trimmed it. It's a leveraged energy play. His cost basis rose to $330. When oil prices spike like today... A leveraged play, but now oil prices are going his way, so it's prudent to trim it by 25%. He has gained 30% since Jan. 12.

Oil stocks in Canada have been overlooked. There is a bit of a base going on and they are breaking out from that base. Eventually they will break out from the bottom. If you think oil stocks are going up this has been a bit of a laggard. They also own some oil producers including Suncor. It is a longer term holding.

(Past Top Pick March 27, 2018, Up 7%) A direct oil play. The oil price has done better than expected, but it's frustrating to get the commodity call right, but the stocks don't rise accordingly.
