Q: Hello,
I am down 74% on Surge Energy and still hanging on. I understand their debt to capital ratio is 12% which seems low so I am expecting that they should be able to survive this crisis. The insiders are buying heavily. I am thinking of buying more at the current very low price now as I really only have a half position in it. Would you agree with this thinking and strategy? I dont need the money for a few years. Or should I top up my position in Whitecap which does not have the same low debt and heavily insider buying? Thanks for your help!

Q: Hello 5i team,
I am considering at least lowering my exposure to natural resource stocks. But, i would still like to participate in a recovery. My thought is that certain companies that serve the oil and gas industry would partipate in any recovery. Companies like CP. Would you suggest any other companies that might be appropriate for such a strategy?
thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Recently we have had one BNN guest whom I believe you respect a lot tout this as a top pick and another one say that they are exposed if Penn West does not make it due to large portion of revenue from them. Do you know how significant they depend on PennWest and would some other company not buy the Penn West production and be on the hook for the royalty agreement with Freehold?
Thanks for all you do and all the best for 2016

Q: Hi,

I have cash to deploy, I cannot decide what to do about my energy stocks.

I have WCP (2.8%), TOU (1.8%), and BAD (3.5%)

I realize BAD is only about half exposed to energy.

My target for energy had been 10-12% with a max of 3 stocks. If you include BAD, I am currently at 8%. My full position for a stock is 4%.

Would you recommend I top up these stocks, or readjust my target for energy and wait for better times?

Q: I spoke to the head of IR at this company based in Calgary a few weeks ago because I am a long-time SH and was concerned about the dividend being cut going fwd. He was quite sure it would not be cut even though, as I pointed out, they carried a fair bit of debt. - build out Corrib in IRE - on stream soon - Dec. 30th started pumping - 30% increase in cash flow: pay down debt. As well reduced capital budget for 2016 which would support the dividend which he deemed quite sacred. Comments please?
