Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Good afternoon,
I need to sell some losers in a taxable account. I have had WCP for a long time and would like to sell to capture a loss. Could you comment on replacing it with RRX immediately to maintain exposure to energy, or would I just wait the 30 days and re-buy WCP.
Thanks as always.

Q: I have been out of the oil and gas markets for quite some. I am still not convinced the sectors will have a "sustained" up move. Perhaps a decent trade but a trade it is as it seems to be with all commodities. Do you think it is foolish to be zero weight in this sector? If so, what minimum weighting would you suggest. I have looked at BIR and would be comfortable buying it if my arm can be twisted enough.

Q: Birchcliff is showing some market momentum recently and today traded close to 5 times the daily average number of shares. In replying to others questions on the company, you have mentioned that in your opinion it could be acquired. What companies might be potential buyers, what might be a takeover price and what timing might a takeover occur? Thanks

Q: I have been zero weight oil/gas for quite some time. I do not believe there is a long term sustained move in these commodities. That said, am I being foolish not to have some exposure. I have looked at BIR and it looks attractive. I was recently reading a big bank research report on the company that has a target price of 9.00. They are using a 65.00 oil price long term. They are a gas producer. Go figure. I get there is a correlation but what long term gas price are they using. 65.00 in my opinion is pie in the sky. All commodity investments in my opinion are not investments, but a trade. Maybe I have answered my own question.
Your thoughts.
Much appreciated.

Q: Looking forward to fall gas trade.
Looking for some small or midsize gas producers that have access to the Alliance Pipeline. Could you suggest 2 or 3 good gas stocks to buy and hold to Xmas. Would Bonavista be one.
Thank you for your response.

Q: Hi,

After having been burned regularly by buying oil gas stocks in the last few years - despite being assured prices are on the verge of recovery - I am reticent. I am interested in pipeline stocks because they seem less volatile, have good dividends, and some have been hit hard (Enbridge), can you answer this?
1) what do you think of pipelines in the next couple years? is there a better alternative for some growth and generous dividend?
2) buy now or wait for 5% position
3) what would be your top and second pick?
