Q: Dear Peter and Team,
On Jan15 you answered that debt for the pony is more than 6x cash flow.
from their website for Q3 cash flow for 9 mos was 79.5 mil-and is likely
100mil/year. Debt-bank debt93.8m-plus senior notesof 141.4m plus convertible debt of 44.6m adds to 279.8mil. Total net debt with working capital deficit is $336mil. This is all at trough natural gas prices. Production now is over 60kboe/d versus 42,353boe/d during Q3/17.
They do not plan on adding more debt in 2018. What am I missing?
Thanks for your help.
BEN.

Q: I have held Crew for years in the 6.00 range so I am down substantially. In the past six months or so it has risen to over $5:00 only to do a complete reversal
Back to the $2.70 range. I thought it was going to break out or be bought out . Is it time to move on?
Would you move on if you were still managing money with this company in your portfolio. Always hear about good management who have done it all before
And they sold some Montney assets and it trades a lot but never gets out of the barn.

Q: I own Birchcliff and at a loss currently. Debating to average down and make it a 5% holding in a diversified portfolio. I do own tourmaline which is 1% and it is down as well. So far my bet on NG is not working but if i hold on to the survivors things should turn around. Is Birchcliff worth the risk at a 5% holding assuming it can last on current prices of NG.

Q: Peyto has been going down week after week at the same time that NYMEX gas prices have been increasing. Your going to tell me that Peyto doesn't get NYMEX prices it gets AECO price. OK but WHY is the AECO price so low; NYMEX today is over $3.20 and AECO price is ??? I used to look on the Alberta Gas Inc. website for the AECO price but it has not reported a new price since January 8th when it was around $1.50. So WHY is the Alberta price so low?? Thank you for your help. I thought we only had issues with OIL pipelines. Are gas pipelines also a problem?

Q: I read/hear conflicting opinions about the price of oil from well respected analysts in the print/electronic/TV media. Some say oil sector is the next place where the money is going to flow and others say there will be a pull back sooner than later. Do you think the new highs are there to stay? What are the top 3 to 5 companies from your favourite list that have already shown improvement due to higher oil price?
Many thanks.

Q: Hi there,

I am contemplating buying into Black Diamond (BDI). Since June it has been trundling upward making higher lows on what seems to be a nice recovery. It seemed to have two points of resistance, one at about 2.50 and one at 2.82 according to my charting program and has burst through each moving to 3.02 on higher volume. So if it's clear that I like the technical side of the chart I'm wondering if you can tell me if you feel that fundamentals support a buy? I'm hoping recent momentum and the volume surge suggest a nice continued bounce toward 52 week high.

Q: My question is about Purpose energy credit opportunities income fund PCF.UN, is it converting to a ETF. If it is when? Would this be a suitable buy now before the conversion in a TFSA for a 79 year older would you wait to buy at all.Your opinion of this as a fund and as a ETF would be appreciated. This would be in a managed account with a fee of 1% plus the fund fee.
