Q: What do you think of HWO's earnings? They appear to be somewhat insulated from the oil price decline through their Papua New Guinea operations.

Q: Could you please comment on MMT latest Q. Is there any hope of their deal going through? I hold this in a registered account, should I move on or just continue to grind it out?

Thank you

Q: With today's dividend reduction and the stock price almost at the 52 week low, would you be comfortable recommending a "buy" at this point. Or would you have a better suggestion.
FYI: Portfolio is balanced. Looking for higher but reliable dividend income. Sector not a key consideration. Moderate risk taker.

Thanks for your help with this decision.

Q: Have you had time to assess the recent developments? They have reduced the monthly dividend from 23 cents to 10 cents and suspended the DRIP programs which have been the source of a lot of dilution over the years.

From what was said on the conference call it appears that they have abandoned the High Yield, High POR Income Trust Model. Going forward they intend to fund their Growth with internally generated funds and focus on creating shareholder value.

The Oil market will be whatever it is but should improve at some point.

I would be interested in your thoughts on what is actually a dramatic change in Crescent Points financial and growth strategy.

Q: Looking way ahead - would you agree with the view that it would be very unlikely to see significantly higher interest rates in Canada in a world of low oil and gas prices. If this view is correct - would it be fair to look at O&G equities (and to a lesser extent - energy infrastructure equities) as a "hedge" against higher interest rates. Thanks

Q: Hi Pete,

Watching Freehold go into a free fall over the past couple of weeks. Would you say it is compelling value at $11 given that it has gone from p/b of 4 + down to about a P/b of 2? Or is this a value trap given that oil could go lower from here? I appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks,

Aaron

Q: I am aware of all the warts on this one but don't you think we are in oversold territory now?

Q: What market data sources do you use for company financials and general company information such as market capitalization? There seems to be a big discrepancy between providers. For example, Morningstar shows the market cap for TOG as approximately $800MM CAD where as Yahoo Finance shows $1.1B CAD. This can have a material impact when computing metrics such as price/book value.

Q: Good Morning 5i

Looking for any comments on this O&G for a 3 year hold. Recommended on BNN yesterday. I'm concerning the Iranian oil arrival may cause a decrease in prices in next few weeks. Is it your view that a headwind will result and I should wait another month or two before jumping in on this one?

Any other recommendation for 3 yr. hold instead of ZEO?

Thank you!

Q: I am wondering about pipeline coating companies, as they should be in demand regardless of the falling price of oil. SCL and EFX appear to have the best fundamentals in the sector, given their payout ratios, price/sales and price/book and both are significantly down over the past 12 months. I am wondering: 1) is this a good sector given a 2-5 year time frame; 2) are these the 2 best companies in the sector to consider; and 3) which one would you choose if I only bought one, and why? Thanks in advance.
