Q: I noticed at noon today that BTE is at approx $14. I bought these shares originally at $37.37 and saw them go up to approx $49.00. Do you think I should sell them at a loss and use the money to buy White Cap or should I hang in there for the long slow term of recovery from low oil prices?

Q: I have had significant realized capital gains this year in my non-registered portfolio. To help offset the gains I would like to sell and rebuy in 30 days shares that I have a significant unrealized capital loss. SDY is one of these companies. I know it is difficult to predict but would I be better selling now or waiting to the end of the year?

Q: Your last comment on Paramount was in April where you mentioned that "POU with its debt will likely have good leverage in a rising sector" . Do you still think this would apply? The stock continues to drop and I would appreciate your assessment of their current position in the sector. Thank you.

Q: I am under in this company and I have a full position (overweight at market value) in my RRSP account. I really like the company and I do not need to access the funds anytime soon but I have always had a problem with deciding to sell at a loss with a good company. Many things of course can change a market quickly and therefor My question is "Could the money be better used in a different sector or would I be moving funds for no reason?" Perhaps average down but I really do not want to point the money hose at this. My gut tells me to wait it out. Perhaps it is a question without an answer but I appreciate your time spent answering it.
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter I hold in three different accounts a substantial position in wcp with a fairly low cost base still positive by 20pluus%.
Given were oil is going Iran supply ect would you exit your position and book your gains or ride it out I realize this is probably the best of the group however I would hate to see all my gains eroded.
Your opinion is valued.
Kind Regards Stan
PS I guess I will soon be paying surge to hold there stock

Q: Please deduct one more question credit as I should have included this in my last question on Tourmaline but would it be wise to move my assets out and into a dividend payer like Whitecap. I imagine both stock would behave similar in a further down or possible up oil market. At least I would have a dividend.
Thank you
Jeremy

Q: Good Morning!

Both ECA and CQE are trading at ultra low multiples. Realizing the challenges ahead facing the oil and gas industry, which company would you consider to be the best speculative value investment for midterm/long term growth? Or, is there a better choice that I have not identified?

Q: Hi team:
as a Canadain investor I have held the above for a few years, on BNN
market call late last week, the speaker was answering about a question re: pipeline and energy stocks in general, the caller was implying that the US does NOT want us to sell our oil and gas to Asia and the 3rd world at the Market price, but want to buy our oil cheap, I understand that as a Canadian, it would make sense to ship our oil to the East where the refineries are (we are importing oil from other countries); the BNN speaker also mentioned that all the provinces due to political reasons refused to co-operate to have a pipeline built to ship the oil and gas from Alberta to the East coast (The Federal govt does NOT want to see that either)
What is the real future for CNQ; SU, CVE and the big name oil companies ? I do think that unless one trades them as short term trade, the outlook for the long term is bleak for the investors due the the negative political situation. Many thanks for your comments and insights
