Q: There are contradicting views on oil prices. My view is that as long oil supply stays the same as it is the US will continue to increase supply. OPEC will be forces to ramp up supply to counteract, driving prices down. If I’m right what effect will this have on gas produces esp in Canada? Will the abnormal cold spell in central Canada and the US increase the demand for gas . Who will be the major supplier Canada or US..Any particular company that benefits from this situation.

Q: TNP, much like VLE is involved with developing natural gas company interests in developed and undeveloped properties in Turkey and Bulgaria. It has shown strong momentum since late November. In mid-January they announced a plan "to market the Company so that it can pursue a stronger capital structure for future development" and enhance shareowner value.
May I have your opinion on its worthiness as a higher risk investment? Thank you

Q: Most oil&gas yeildcos were losing value before the correction, but now even VET is testing 6-month lows. Are there any that stand out as so grossly depressed that the reward outweighs the risk? (Please add to the supplied list as you see fit.)

Q: Further to members' questions about pipeline equities: if oil transport is scarce, then demand for pipelines services should be essentially inelastic, such that (existing) pipelines can raise prices without losing traffic. Or is pipeline economics dominated by long-term contracts and capital replacement, such that inelastic demand doesn't help?

Q: Hi 5i team
Over the past few years I have been slowly rebalancing my portfolio to be more diversified. There are a few positions that the market has helped me rebalance. Tourmaline is the most prominent name. I am down 50% in this stock. The reasons I have held on to it are good management, good balance sheet, good assets, (a colder winter). The problems with the stock price is not in their execution but rather the business they are in. How does a stock owner decide if they want to keep a position, add to a position, or sell in an industry that my take some time to recover. I originally thought a cold winter would have been enough to bring it back but so far I am wrong. If it paid a dividend (and there was mention that they might start one) it would be less of a concern for me. So should I move my money?
Thank you
J
