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: Hi,

What are your thoughts on today's hit to QSR & the results? Is this a buying opportunity or a warning? My portfolio distribution lies somewhere between your balanced & income portfolios.

Thx, Gord.

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.

Q: I feel like the oil sector is turning the corner and want look at some oilfield service companies. Which do you feel is a "safe" way to play this, looking for a "good" balance sheet and someone that isn't going to just issue equity as soon as their stock price runs up a bit. Please consider companies beyond those listed above.

Q: How would you rank these three energy service companies? And why? Do you for see an increase in usage for these energy service companies (if oil maintains itself above 50)? or will it need to go higher .Or have they had their little run up in price for now and will need a higher price to carry them further .Your thoughts are appreciated as always
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
I know heu is a speculative commodity tied investment. I've owned it since $9.00, now it's over $12 in just a few months. Do you think oil is going to keep climbing a driving heu up especially with these new potential OPEC deals? Or do you think I should sel it off and put the money and profits into some other oil/energy investment?

Thanks!

Q: I bought RMP a little over a year ago anticipating a bounce when oil started to recover. It bounced--just in the wrong direction. It seems to be treading water now as oil keeps going up. What are your thoughts on it going forward. Should I sell it , take my loss & move on or should I hang in for another couple of quarters. Thanks for your advice Peter

Q: I am down 7% on my Crescent Point shares and I am thinking about selling and taking a superficial loss. My replacement security would be Whitecap Resources...Thoughts? Other than the last few months, their share prices seem to be highly correlated...Both move in tandem with the price of oil. Also, I would sell WCP and purchase CPG 31 days from now.

Q: Good day 5i!

I am looking for a high quality ETF in regards to renewable energy. I considered XEN but see that there are several oil companies listed and I am already heavy oil/gas.

I am looking at PDB as a global ETF with most of its coverage being the US and 5%CDN. I wanted an ETF with more Canadian coverage but can't seem to locate any.

Any suggestions? Do you think there will be big global growth in renewables over next ten years? Which ETF would you suggest to capture growth in this area?

Thanks again for your valuable service!

Q: Baytex has significant price swings which I guess are based on oil price changes and leveraged by its debt. Up 7.55 % yesterday. I have traded it several times in a TFSA including a sale yesterday. Do you think short sales or short covering are a factor? Do you have any other comments about the price movement other then that caution is in order.
