Investment Q&A

Q: Your thoughts on this company if oil recovers. How is their debt level.

Q: I hold Husky in an unregistered account. At some point in 2016 I plan to crystallize the capital loss and invest the proceeds in Magna. Would this be an appropriate time to make the switch. HSE has improved some over the last week, whereas MG has remained flat. Is there any reason why that trend might continue?
Thanks
David

Q: Would you please comment on the Gear-Striker Arrangement announced at the close today, specifically from the viewpoint of a Striker shareholder. Thanks.

Q: Could you please give your opinion of this company. Would it be a good choice for a small positon in a balanced portfolio?
Thanks so much.

Q: Can you give us your thoughts on the Raging River offer for Rock Energy, and what it will mean for owners of Rock Energy and share value

Q: Hi Peter and Team - In a question today which asked you to decide on which oil and gas stocks you would keep out of a list of several, I noticed that Surge was not on the list of keepers. Is this just because the others were better or do you have concerns about Surge at this point. From previous answers it sounds like Surge is on the right track to recover with higher oil prices. Does this remain the case. Also could you give me an update on insider ownership and your opinion of management. Thanks.

Q: I would like to add a pipeline to my portfolio. Which one (or two) would you recommend.

Q: Raging River just purchased Rock Energy with shares & debt.Your thoughts on this investment would be appreciated including:the new debt, the heavy oil involved plus the future profitability of such a move.Thanks ,as always,for your advice.

Q: I currently have 6 oil and gas stocks in a well diversified portfolio (PEY,RE,SU,SGY,TOU,WCP) and would like to high grade the list to 3-4 names by either selling some or all of them and replacing them with other names if necessary. What would you suggest? Thanks and keep up the excellent work.

Q: Can you give me your overall view of VII Seven Generations and if you would consider it a good buy at this point. If not one your favorites where would you put money in this sector. 3% of portfolio. Thank you again. Maureen

Q: Hello. In the summer of 2014 I owed 5 oil stocks (PEY, VET, MEG, BTE and SGY) but saw the oil market changing and a year or so later I owed only one (White Cap). I was happy but maybe a little too pleased with myself because I was slow to recognize oil’s bottoming and have missed out. I still own WCP and am looking for 2 or 3 oil ideas to compliment it. I think the companies that have bought assets during this downtown will ultimately be the winners but really my only criteria is that these ideas should be decently liquid names. Thank you

Q: Hello, what do you think of MLPY and MLPN which I think are two ETNs traded on the NYSE? Both of them are high-yield investments correlatated to the price of oïl (if I am correct). Is it too risky? Thanks, Gervais

Q: Hi Peter,

What do you think of Pulse Seismic as a oil recovery play, both in terms its current fundamentals and positioning in the sector? It was once a favorite of Jason Donville and others before it got trashed along with most other resource stocks.

Thanks for your great service.

Q: Hi.. Can you tell me if this AEI is worth takeing a look? Thanks Cliff

Q: Is Bellatrix in danger of going under. Can you please give me an opinion on the latest news on this company. Thank you for your service.

Q: Alerion appears to have begun recovery from an extended down trend with what looks like significant accumulation. However, doubts have been raised with respect to volumes for transport in part related product price and demand issues. Do you have an opinion on this issue and AMLP prospects please.

Q: would you please give me your thoughts on delphi.

Q: I know you do not cover US stocks, but do you have any comments on the payout ratio of Royal Dutch Shell, and is it sustainable. At 7.5% Dividend, it looks attractive in an income portfolio.

Q: could i please have your opinion on ceu going forward. They recently did an equity financing for 80mil.@ $3.Would this be seen as a positive for the company going forward as financial institutions take a stake in the company? looking at least 6 months out . Thanks Cal

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor with a pension, CPP, annuities and hold the following securities (AD, AQN, ALA, BCE, BNS, CPG, CGX, ECI, FTS, PBH, RY, WCP, WEF, WSP, ZLB, XIT, RBC Cdn Equity Inc, Sentry Cdn Inc, Sentry REIT, and Fisgard Capital).

I plan to sell CPG and capture a capital loss, while at the same time put some or all of the proceeds towards another energy name, thereby increasing my dividend income. I have filtered the following names, using P/BV, D/CF, Beta, Div Yield => CJ, FRU, VET (I already own WCP, ALA, TRP).

Which do you see as a good fit with my other holdings? I am leaning towards CJ (more torque) or VET (due to the larger size). Are both of their respective dividend "safe"?

Thanks...Steve
