Q: would you say TOU is a good purchase for a TFSA right now, given the fundamentals are good and the sector is beaten up.
Assuming your answer is yes, would it make more sense to wait as the sector may not have hit it's bottom yet?
Thanks for everything, as always!

Q: Regarding Lyondell for the member asking (I hold it as well) - Lyondell uses a great deal of energy in it's business and retooled to use cheaper natural gas. That action boosted it's margins and gave it an advantage over other chemical companies. Now that oil is cheaper, that advantage is gone. For now.
Can I ask - Canadian oil was receiving much less than the WTI price a year or so ago. That seemed to improve more recently. What price are the Canadian companies receiving now? Is the much different than the oil price they received when transportation was an issue? (I guess I am asking - is this downturn really, relatively, so bad?
Thanks

Q: In the grand scheme of things, which is more important, WTI or Brent. I have been watching energy to see if there is a bottom in sight and there are tenuous signs that maybe there is for Brent but not yet for WTI.

Q: I currently hold (4 yr now) CPG, BTE & VET-all seem to have low debt & high CF per share but it is hard to find the total "all in" cost for ea BOE? I am thinking of adding BNE at some point because it has almost an $8.00 per share cash flow PS and seems cheap based on all metrics-ergo, should be able to support super dividend it pays out: this seems the case for the other holdings as well? What do you think?

Q: Hi Peter, Can you give us your opinion on Baytex with this tax bill that they could be hit with. Linc is http://business.financialpost.com/2014/11/04/baytex-energy-faces-57-million-tax-penalty/?__lsa=b8fc-2bc7. We are hugely underwater and the situation seems to get worse every day. Is there any reason to continue to hold this stock or should we throw in the towel.

Q: Given that BXE is down another 12% today, is it finally time to give up on it, take my lumps and just move on?

Q: I have held this in various accounts for over a decade and it just keeps paying out its dividend through the ups and downs. As I get closer to retirement age I would like to buy more as it is has of the best percentage dividends. The price is down right now. Do you feel this is just along with the rest of oil and gas in the market, or is there any other reason to have concern. Thanks.

Q: Would you recommend holding or selling HNL if recently acquired? Could it be that the market is beating up the stock more than what is warranted and it should regain price to $3 and then a bit more?
In other words, is C+ a hold?

Q: With the recent slight increase in natural gas and seasonality for it, would now be a good entry point for natural gas stocks. If so, I am looking at Pine Cliff or Delphi but if these would not be your choice, I would appreciate your top two gas stocks. Thanks

Q: Morning,

You have viewed HCLP favourably. What do you think about this stock in the light of its earnings today as well as within the weakening backdrop of oil prices. Do you think it is a good long term hold.
