Q: What do you think of Cenovus responding to the rumour on the street that the company is in talks to dispose of the company royalty lands? It is speculated that the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund is the likely acquirer? What do you think of the Cenovus's timing to do this transaction? Do you expect there might be a one time special dividend to shareholders or do you think they would use the funds to pay down debt and/or buy back shares?

Q: I hold RMP based on your recommendation of it being one of the better O&G stock. However it has been going nowhere but down for quite sometime. Would you suggest I sell it and buy either TVE, SGY or TDG as SGY seems like it is gaining momentum and TVE and TDG have recently been recommended by multiple analysts. Thanks

Q: With the threat of increased royalties to the province of AB, how does this affect a royalty company like Freehold? Are they subject to provincial royalties or are the actual exploration companies that FRU lease to, the ones with responsibility?

Q: Given the uncertainty over Oil (in Alberta) and Provincial Govt (NDP, Royalty Reviews, etc) what do you think about Crescent Point Energy Corp?

It has assets outside of Alberta, has either Buy or Strong Buy recommendations from TD and RBC research. Seems to be at a low point for the price.

Q: Hi Peter & Team,

Can you explain what this means. I have HNL stocks that I have held for a few years?

There is a $50MM equity offering for Horizon North Logistics this morning priced at $3.75/sh. Proceeds to reduce indebtedness leading into an increased capital expenditure program of $30MM that the company announced today. Based on the price of the offering, this represents a 9% dividend yield.

Thank you for your great service.

Q: My good friend, curious about my 5 year CAGR of 15% - aided and abetted by 5i - and unhappy with his professionally managed portfolio that is flat over 18 months, asked me to take a look.

There are two major problems:

Not only is a stupendous 53% of the portfolio in 5 banks, 3 Canadian and 2 U.S. but another 16% is in 6 energy stocks, and 11% of the portfolio is in CPG.

This is of course patently ridiculous.

All six energy stocks are substantially down. The question: on a go forward basis do you see any hope for these six or should he just cut and run and of course diversify?

Thank you
