Investment Q&A

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

Q: I've written previously about overhauling a friend's poorly diversified portfolio. I re-worked 2/3 of it in the summer and that's going well but I left most of his energy holdings in place because the sector was rallying even though I wasn't a fan of many of the stocks.

I re-assessed yesterday and we're now selling KWH.UN, the disastrous CPG, and PGF while keeping small positions in ERF and VSN.

In a 7 figure portfolio that has pipelines but no other energy producers what companies would you suggest are best primed to grow assuming oil prices gradually rise. Dividends a bonus of course. In my own portfolio I have WCP, PEY, ALA, KEY and SGY.

Thank you!

Q: Hi all - I need an energy company to add to my portfolio. I have held off buying a name in the oil/gas/pipeline sector as I've been expecting the cycle to take a number of years for the demand and supply sides to lose inertia and start moving in the opposite directions. I don't think we're there yet (US crude draw-down reports are suspiciously counter to other indicators out there), but I'm thinking the down-side risk is for companies that will survive is pretty low at least.

Which two companies would you recommend at this time?

Thx very much.

Q: Thank you for your very rapid response to my question of 23/10/16. I am very interested in your mention of IAE as a "highly leveraged oil bet" since I believe all their holdings are in the North Sea area notwithstanding their 329% increase since January this year. Isn't this whole area subject to much higher drilling & overhead costs then the general oil market?

Q: Badger at $29 is expected to report Nov.15 with revenue projected at $109 MM vs
$111 for Q3 last year and EPS of 0.36 vs 0.49. Do you agree with these numbers and have you changed the opinion in your report last June that it was trading at a premium valuation when it was $7 less? This stock appears to have very good momentum and I'm very glad to have held it for the last 4+ years. Thanks, J.
