Q: earnings reports out yesterday for both of these companies. They comprise about 15% of my portfolio (I know, don't ask !!). earnings were there for both so better than a loss...should I continue to hold. Tourmaline mgmt. is adored (seemingly) but limited info on ESN....

Q: When selecting Energy sector names, what 4-5 attributes do you consider to be the most important for a successful investment (eg, cash flow, earnings/share, ROE, analyst upgrades, debt etc)? Of course I'm excluding the actual price of oil which is the overriding factor. Thanks in advance!

Q: The tax loss selling season is fast approaching and the top name on my list is CPG. I bought CPG at $27.30 and I wonder from a TA standpoint does it have the momentum to hit $20.70 before YE?
I'm willing to take a $7 per share loss. Is it too optimistic? I almost pull the trigger the last time it went over $20, but "greed"/ "hope" pulled me back. I really want to unload this one before YE and move on. Please advise. Thanks.

Q: I have held a small amount of shares in this company for about two years, watching it slide down and hoping to see it rise again. What are the chances of that happening?
Q: I am thinking of taking a flyer on TDG in the risk oriented portion of my portfolio.It would not be more then 2%. I reviewed the Q 3 results and noted the div cut and unsurprising weak results. Question is do they have the moxie to survive and thrive going forward if I am looking at a longer term time horizon. I am always looking for beating down stocks in weak sectors that I feel I can reasonable expect a double on, is this a suitable pick? Thanks guys

Q: Hi there
I have a fairly low weighting in material and oil stocks (4%) in part because of the lack of control most companies have over the commodity. I hold CNQ, am down about 10%, and was thinking of selling that and buying EFX (Enerflex) with the thesis that over the next 3 years this is just a likely to go backup in value plus is a bit more stable in terms of reoccurring revenues.
Your thoughts on EFX and teh switch - I am mainly an income type investor.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Like many subscribers confused now about what to do. I do like to keep a certain percentage in non dividend stocks and in the O&G sector have names like PPY,TOU,RRX among others.
In theory if these companies are making money but not paying dividends ,their stock price should rise and if I did need a dividend,I could instead trim say 5% of them annually and have the same value left as I would have if a dividend payer of 5% held flat in value.
I am confused like many as to why HSE would think paying a stock dividend is better than no dividend...after all we would own the same value of the company in theory whether we got no dividend or got more shares and our % of ownership in HSE did not change. Is it because they hope that if a cash dividend is not paid out, and their stock price holds steady, that we should be able to do what I outlined above for TOU,PPY or RRX if we wanted to raise cash?
Do you think all things being equal,this would actually happen..ie stock price per share hold steady so our value does increase due to more shares..cutting dividend for prudence sure did not help BTE price..wish I had sold it when they did cut the dividend.
Lastly ,do you have they will handle prorated shares that could be due to us on each dividend declaration?
Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi Peter & Co.,
I bought Husky years ago for the dividend, which has now been suspended in favour of additional shares. I am leaning towards selling the stock, but would like your thoughts on when might be the best time to dispose of my position. Will today's news of job cuts, salary freezes, and payment of dividends in shares actually help boost the share price in the coming weeks/months? If so, I can sell at a later date. But if this news is more likely to drive the price lower (beyond today's fall), I'd sell sooner. Your comments please. Thanks.
