Cibc World Market Inc. strategically reduced its investment positions in major energy firms EOG Resources (EOG) and Targa Resources (TRGP) during the third quarter. The firm trimmed its stake in EOG Resources by 7.7%, offloading 17,274 shares, while its position in Targa Resources saw a 3.2% reduction, leaving its remaining holding valued at approximately $27.83 million. In related developments, EOG Resources' COO Jeffrey R. Leitzell sold 2,000 shares, and Targa Resources declared a quarterly dividend of $1.00 per share.
