Q: Hello 5i:
another comment on Paul's question re: filling up the truck; now $58, used to be $80, and why is there not more of a saving. First, that is a 27.5% decrease. Stated another way: its like being paid 27.5% more. Who would not take that?
Additionally, that is $22 on one fill. How many times do you fill the truck per week, per month, per year. The savings really begin to accumulate (or more money to spend). I lived in samll town BC for quite some time, and remember paying $1.42/litre. Try that one on for size and watch the paycheque disappear.
just my opinion, publish if you feel like it

Q: Hello Team,
Of the big major oil companies, Exxon, Chevon, Royal Dutch Shell and Total, which has the best balance sheet in the event oil gets into the sub $20.00. Would Suncor be in this league as well.
Thank You,
Barry

Q: Hi 5i: The only oil/gas producer I own is Tourmaline, and I'm thinking of adding one oil stock to be ready for an uptick if that ever happens. Suncor is looking relatively good but I'd like something with a bit more torque. You report that RRX has a very good balance sheet, and I see that it still has positive earnings. However, it does seem expensive. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Are there any better prospects? Thanks in advance for your good advice.

Q: Hi Peter, I just filled the car up for $58. It used to be ~$80. Doesn't seem that we save that much even after the big crude decline. Why is that ? With the much lower raw material input cost and the not that that much lower finished good price, who benefits ? The refiners ? Any TSX companies ? Thanks for making the market recover some this afternoon ! Paul

Q: Hello, for a while there I thought I was the only one thinking a huge opportunity was in the offing with energy. Recently I read in 5i that there was two schools of thought. One - run for the hills / two - it's an opportunity. I like wcp and I like surge. I want to start adding as the weeks/months tick by. I might be short sighted (not to be confused with shorting, I don't have the stomach for that) but my primary worry is that either Sgy or wcp will fail and disappear. I believe if they survive there's money to be made. Are they foreseeabley at risk of bankruptcy?

Q: good morning, i don't understand what my book value will be for the new suncor shares that will be coming into my portfolio (converted from cos). Do I take the loss on the difference on the COS shares from my original purchase price, and get the new suncor shares at what they are trading at now? ~$20/sh? thx

Q: I hold EEP in my RRIF and have watched it drift lower these days from 40.00 to 17.00 U.S. in the past year. The dividend is now over 13%, is this sustainable? I also hold ENF and their shares are much in the same boat dropping from 40 to 26 dollars. Do you have any recommendations here for the future. Thank You

Q: Hello. How do you think Enbridge will fair over then next 1 to 2 years? Do you think it likely the volume of oil moved through their pipelines will decrease (tied to the possibility that Canadian oil producers reduce output from more expensive sources)? It certainly seems like a bad time to sell or trim ENB, but that only remains true if there is a hope for a turn around in that 1 to 2 year timeframe. Thanks so much.

Q: Good morning. After owning this stock for the past several years and having taken a severe bath, would you advise to sell now that the purchase has taken place? It would be a substantial hit on my portfolio. Yes it could be used as a tax writeoff, but I have plenty of those now. Please give me your thoughts. Thank-you

Q: Hi
I'm looking for a low cost producer of oil with a good balance sheet and wonder if you had a couple of names I could look at. Something in the mid size.
