Q: Hello Team could I get your thoughts on Arx. I thought I saw in it's finacial report that it's payout ratio is over 100% and it's debt ratio is climbing. This concerns me due to the price of natural gas. I am up on the stock but wondering if I should not sell before they cut their dividend. With that I was also looking at buying some williams cos/partners wmb but looking at selling my Pembina - ppl stock for it. I also hold some trp. What are your thoughts on that

Q: Hi team.
The service companies have been hit quite hard due to the collapse in the oil price.However,canyon has a strong balance sheet,will be looking for acquisitions,stated that they will not cut their dividend.Would this company be vexed as a value play and if one was to purchase it now with a two to three year horizon,would it be to early or a safe bet?
Thank you

Q: Hi guys,

With the decline in energy prices, a number of business analysts and commentators are highlighting an opportunity of a lifetime in purchasing debt of mid cap energy companies in the near future. Can you explain how a retail investors would get exposure to this? Are they referring to new debt issues that will come from these companies given the stress that they may be under or existing debt that needs to be restructured? I assume the difficult part will be determining which companies will survive and which will fail.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hi Peter,

As I mentioned in a prior question I am a significant holder of Convertible Debentures, some in Registered and some in non registered accounts

In the past decade I've only had 1 default (Prizm)

However today I am holding 5 CV's that are substantially below par and I am concerned that they will be able to settle in whole upon maturity.

I will list them as follows:

PLT.DB
WEQ.DB
ZAR.DV
AET.DB
LRE.DB

Question to you is, which of those are so dangerous to hold, given the current state of energy, that you would recommend I sell because taking the current bid is probably better than zero?

Thanks

Q: Hi guys,

I'm trying to sort this out in my head in terms of how it is going to play out. Let's assume Greenspan is right and we run out of storage and oil instead heads straight to the market. It feels like what a "run on the bank" would be. We get much lower prices until production (supply) is taken down. This would be in the form of outright bankruptcies. Once that lost supply is gone, we can stabilize oil prices. Is this sort of how you see this crash playing out? Thanks

Q: It looks like mart resources may enter an agreemant to have it's assets taken over by midwestern oil and gas at 80 cents a share. Does this make todays share price for mart a bargain. Is it worth buying some and waiting for deal to happen?
