Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Could you please give me your opinion on painted pony? I am down over 40% on this one and I hold it in a non registered account. I would want you to keep in mind your risk/reward view; as of today. Would you prefer taking a tax loss and switching either to one of your preferred names in the sector or to something in your growth / balanced portfolio? As always, your opinion is highly valued.
Regards.

Q: As we are all aware the energy sector in seriously out of favor and will probably experience a U recovery and not a V shape. With that in mind how would you compare Cathedral Energy vs Trinidad Drilling. Which one of the two has the best chance of surviving this downturn. As a contrarian play which one do you think is stronger? Thanks as usual...

Q: Does this translate into a win/win situation for both companies, and if so could you elaborate on the details? I realize that Surge wins by having the ability to wash out some of its debt, but it is a bit murkier on what the benefits are to TORC. TOG had to raise additional cash to buy Surge's assets, and needed extra backing from the CPP, if I'm understanding all this correctly. So, does this not weigh down the balance sheet for TOG? I own both and wondered should I be divesting myself of one or the other? (I like their respective dividends. Their potential for growth is now slightly less clear on who I should be rooting for.)

Q: i bought CVE last year at $20/share, mainly because the yield had risen to above 5% due to the declining share price. At the time it looked like they could cover the dividend and the plan was to hold for the long term and collect the dividend. But given that they raised equity earlier this year and are looking at asset sales would you consider the dividend at risk based on current cash flows? I'm concerned that if they cut the dividend the share price will plummet. Thanks

Q: Most of the oil/gas trusts that converted to corporations continued to pay relatively high dividends. Now that many have had to reduce their dividends, what might happen when (if?)oil prices start going back up - will they increase their dividends accordingly, or be content to stand pat with dividend levels that allow them greater flexibility and are more in line with other industries? I realize that this is mostly a guess on your part, but would be interested in your comments. The 2 companies in which I am looking at are Vermillion and Bonterra.
Thank-you
