Q: Hi there

I have a fairly low weighting in material and oil stocks (4%) in part because of the lack of control most companies have over the commodity. I hold CNQ, am down about 10%, and was thinking of selling that and buying EFX (Enerflex) with the thesis that over the next 3 years this is just a likely to go backup in value plus is a bit more stable in terms of reoccurring revenues.

Your thoughts on EFX and teh switch - I am mainly an income type investor.

Q: Q3 results are out; smaller dividend and a lot less debt. The company is doing the right things. Is this a good entry point for a small position?
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter & Co.,
I bought Husky years ago for the dividend, which has now been suspended in favour of additional shares. I am leaning towards selling the stock, but would like your thoughts on when might be the best time to dispose of my position. Will today's news of job cuts, salary freezes, and payment of dividends in shares actually help boost the share price in the coming weeks/months? If so, I can sell at a later date. But if this news is more likely to drive the price lower (beyond today's fall), I'd sell sooner. Your comments please. Thanks.

Q: Hello,
I own a 3/4 position in HSE and note it's just announced it will pay its quarterly dividend in shares starting in January. I don't currently need the income but when I bought HSE the dividend was a big part of the attraction. Do you think this announcement represents a change in fundamentals and I should move on elsewhere to perhaps Exon-Mobil in the US or Whitecap here in Canada (I already own Peyto and Chevron in the sector)?
Thank you.
Michael

Q: I would like to know your thoughts on CU. Does being an electric utility in Alberta give you concern such as Trans Alta. I have had it for years with a great gain so reluctant to sell.
Thank you

Q: Peter, Do you still see capital power as a good stable performer? It appears to me that with coal being phased out by governments, probably sooner than we might have thought, it does not bode well for this company as it has many coal fired plants. Have owned it for years and really has been a poor performer. Thanks for your answer, Ken

Q: Hi guys,

Someone asked about you opinion of CU and FTS, and in your response you preferred CU.
Do you think ACO.X is a better way of getting exposure to CU, or would you just purchase CU directly.
Thanks.
