Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I realize no one can predict this volatile commodity pricing . I have rode oil down for its highs waiting to capture "some " of my losses back before getting my oil weighting down to a more reasonable level than it was then or is now ( currently about 10 percent) . I sometimes think oil is the same as farming - no pricing power - no limitations on supply. Eric Nuttall was preaching optimism again on BNN on Friday. Then again he said Baytex at $9 as it touched a couple months back was already pricing I oil at $60. So do you think that for a patient investor (willing to wait 2-3 years for some decent gains) , there is a decent upside coming in that timeframe?
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: PHILLIPS 66 (PSX:NYSE)... I am looking for a combination of refiners for a pullback. The movement in the oil/gasoline is indicating that prices will retract again from current levels. I would like your thoughts on Phillips 66 and one other to hold for the next 12-18 moths. Consensus is looking at mid 2017 before the market really starts to get a hold of the supply side. Do you see this company able to grow revenues and possibly increase profitability?

Thank you
Jason N.

Q: The following is a list of stock that I own showing the losses of each. Alta Gas(ALA) 32% Loss - Enerplus (ERF) 64% loss - Exco Tech(XTC)15% Loss - Gluskin (/GS) 32% loss -Painted Pony(PPY) 27% loss - Pur Tech(PUR) 27% loss and Surge(SGY)68% loss. Losses shown include dividends but I think all these companies have cut the dividends since I purchased them years ago. Question: Would you keep these or sell them now and purchase other stocks with better dividends. ? If you think these should be sold could you recommend a few. Thanks Ernie

Q: I own twelve oil and gas stocks in a $2.5 million portfolio as listed above. My advisor recommends selling the first seven stocks on the list and adding to the last five positions. I'm primarily interested in capital gains with dividends being a secondary consideration. Would you recommend selling any of the first seven stocks? If so, what gas and oil stocks would you choose as replacements? Thanks for your advise.
