Q: Tourmaline has been in a bit of a freefall lately. Should i consider tax loss selling the stock? What companies should i consider in the switch? I have a very low % of oil and gas stocks in my portfolio no counting enbridge and transcanada.

Also a firm expressed that DAP-U is good value selling at a reasonable price; do you agree?

Q: Good Afternoon,
Peyto is looking pretty good today for income with a yield of 7% and only a 41% payout ratio. However, its my understanding that many of their hedges which are protecting this dividend will roll off over the next two years so it will be difficult to hedge going forward in this low gas environment. Have they ever cut their dividend before? What are your thoughts about the sustainability of their dividend going forward with hedges rolling off? Obviously they can still hedge but at much lower prices which may not protect their cash flow sufficient enough to cover the dividend?
Thank-you

Q: Will you be making any recommendations on probable 'tax loss selling' opportunities?
Using an example of a recent member question about Peyto Exploration. (I don't own it). The price keeps drifting lower yet it appears to be good value at today's price. is it likely to go lower still due to tax loss selling making it a better opportunity in the coming weeks? Are there a number of other stocks acting this way today that you might 'predict' being a better opportunity soon?
Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,
Question on bonds. Through my broker I can buy Enbridge Inc. rated BBBh or Enbridge Gas Distribution rated Am. For the same time period there is a big percent deference in distribution because of the rating. Doesn't Enbridge own Enbridge gas distribution therefore just as secure? Can the parent company fail while the subsidiary goes on.
Regards,

Q: Hi there

Really appreciate what you guys do! I am a bit overweight to oil infrastructure and maybe Alberta centred companies. Do you think that given the oil majors seem to be selling their oil sand assets that is a sign that the future does not look too rosy in regard o more projects and more oil output in the oil sands going forward? A 2nd question: I hold equal weights of Inter Pipeline and Gibson energy and was going to sell one of these to reduce my oily assets. Looking at a 2 year time frame which stock would you keep?

Thanks

Stuart

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I have a very small weighting in oil and gas and would like to increase it slightly with 1 more name. The two that I own so far are PEY and VET . If I will own 3 for a long term hold ,total return, dividends and capital gains, are those two fine to be 2 of the 3.
If so, please recommend one of the following with your reasoning to add. If you would drop PEY or VET in order to have 2 of the ones listed below, please advise

CNQ,FUR,RRX,SU,TOG or WCP

Thanks for all you do
Dennis
