Q: sog is offering current shareholders to participate in a debenture offering. The way that I read it the proceeds will be used to pay off the Bank lines and the excess will be used to fund operations. The debentures< I assume would be the 1st charge on the assets and would be paid 1st in case of banktruptcy, is this the case? They pay 8% and are convertible into shares at $.09. Seems like the insiders are going to fund the major portion.How do you feel about this Debenture.

Thanks for your thoughts

Q: Hi 5i: I've been searching for info on existing North American LNG plants. Three questions (please charge as you see fit): (1) do you know if the US currently have any working export LNG plants? (2) if there are working export plants, which (if any) Canadian companies will be piping gas to them? (3) are there any Canadian companies planning to pipe gas to any US LNG plants that are under development? Many thanks.

Q: I currently have these energy stocks in my portfolio: BAD, BNK, RRX, AAV, WCP. Please advise which are the two weakest as I want to sell some and buy a global energy ETF instead to better capture the eventual rebounce.
Which global energy ETF, in C$, would be your top pick? Thanks for your advice.

Q: My energy weight is very small overall. Currently holding CPG, VET, CNQ, SU, ENB and TOU. The only energy position not paying me a dividend to wait for a recovery is TOU. Would a switch to PEY be prudent to collect a dividend? Would PEY carry more risk than TOU. Do have have concerns with any of my other energy holding? Best, Don

Q: You previously mentioned that VET has "a fairly large debt level based on cash flow". and that "in the 3Q had $122 million in cash flow and paid $26 million in dividends, for a ratio of 21%".
Have these numbers changed at all - ie.- how much cushion does VET have to continue paying their dividend at the current level going forward or has their ability to continue "not cutting" their dividend been compromised?

Q: Undiscovered oil is owned by the provinces and in the case of the Artic by Canada. The price is ridiculously low. Should we not be seeking some kind of political ban on future exploration to protect our children's interest in this resource? If we leave the pricing mechanism to the market and the market price is controlled by sovereigns (Saudi Arabia, Russa, Venezula etc)then you would think there has to be a floor price that Canada should set. I'm sure this question becomes mute when oil rebounds but nevertheless world markets are being adversely effected by someone trying to corner the oil market. Perhaps oil should be classified as too big to fail.

Q: Have been away from 5i for a while, hope you will consider this as one question.
Kinda stupid, but I am still holding Husky and Cenovus, down a lot of course. What do you think of their future, and which might be the best one [if either] to hold, or should I cash out and look for something else?
Thanks
