Q: In light of the likely prospect that the economic effects of the corona virus will get worse, I am looking to reduce my over-weight position in the energy sector... please rank the four companies in terms of financial resilience to a significant drop in the price of oil. I know BIR is mostly natural gas and not sure how it would be affected. Thanks.

Q: Vermillion (VET) is getting hammered this week and again today after an analyst said they will have to cut their dividend by 50%. The company says no way. I am wondering if this is so terrible for the company. They would still be paying over 8% and have more money to repay debt. The price seems too low and I think it will rebound strongly when the panic passes. What do you think?
Thanks.

Q: I am thinking to take a position in natural gas producers. The past 5 years have been poor and this may be a good entry point. I feel that a long term hold may be worthwhile especially because of the future potential of LNG.
What do you think of the sector and do you have any recommendations.
What do you think of AR and UNG. Thank you

Q: I am continuing to hold VET in my long-term portfolio. I bought it originally at 18.27 and am enjoying a 13% yield. I am not overweight in energy. With the recent declines, it is tempting to buy more. What are your thoughts on VET these days? Do you feel confident in their ongoing ability to pay (and potentially grow) the dividend? Thanks in advance.

Q: The valuations on companies with a favourable ESG component are lofty at best. Do you see any in this sector that are still reasonably priced? A dividend would be preferable.
Thanks for your consideration.
