Q: Hello,
first, wanted to thank you for suggesting PXT as a holding in the energy sector. Despite the ups and downs of the sector, I am up nicely since I invested in the company.
Can you provide comments on their latest quarter please? I read their press release and it seamed very positive. Did you see anything to be concerned about?
Best regards,
Dan

Q: News of RRX announcing Strategic Review Process announced today. Last time the company was in play the shares traded between $10-12 but no buyer was found. At this point in time, what are your thoughts for a reasonable takeover valuation. 8x 2018 cash flow minus debt?

Q: Question about INSR- BMO Global Insurance ETF.
Surprised no one has asked out this one, I do not hold any Canadian Insurers directly but good exposure to Canadian and US banks.

This ETF has 10% exposure to Berkshire/ Buffett who has proven the long term benefits of owning insurance companies. What do you think about owning a product like this for long term growth is it worth it or better to put capital elsewhere-add to ZUB?

My main concerns with the space are: interest rates- how long/ high will they go, geography of the fund is it really better to have exposure to some of these countries, over complicating things in the portfolio- too many ETFs overlapping exposures, over exposure to 'financials' already etc...

Thank you!

Q: Hi, I would appreciate if you can rate these 3 energy names in terms of upside potential. Would your decision be different considering SPE does not pay dividend while other two does.
Also, any Balance sheet concerns.
Thanks,

Q: Good morning 5i,
Just a comment / follow-up to Irshad's question re the price of oil and CDN producers today ... I think it's prudent, for those that may be unaware, to point out that while WTI may be priced in the $60's, this is not the price that many CDN producers receive for their oil. We are exporting (95% to USA, who don't need it, but will buy it way cheaper) a bitumen blend called Western Canadian Select, and it's price is way lower, almost as low as his "$29 comment" ... the "differential spread" has never been greater.
Regards, Rod C.
