Investment Q&A

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

Q: I'm looking at taking a position in a gas producer, can you comment on the relative valuations between Bellatrix and Peyto. How much more is Bellatrix on a BOE/day basis, how much am I paying for future growth? Which do you think is a better investment?

Q: Do you have any advice about a convertible debenture from Ivanhoe Energy which matures in June 30, 2016? I was advised to buy it as a new issue in June 2011 at $100. The current price in my listing is $23. My online trading system does not recognise the symbol to sell it. What is best to do?

Q: Hi team
When you say you would be comfortable with a 15 to 20 percent weighing in energy in a portfolio is that a percentage of total portfolio? For example with $700,000 portfolio $100,000 allocated to oil and gas stocks is adequately diversifying the portfolio with the rest in all different sectors. Thanks.

Q: What do you think of the acquisition today of an oilfield rental company based in Fort St. John by Enterprise group? This would seem to be a direct attempt to strengthen their exposure to upcoming LNG development. Thanks.

Would you step into any of these today or is this just an uptick in an energy down cycle?

Q: Delphi has been reduced almost 50% from its peak in August despite having what appears to be a pretty good track record. Would you consider this a tremendous buying opportunity or with the recent fall in oil & gas prices perhaps its cost of production exceeds the value of what it produces and the company is more likely to fall further particularly if these prices persist for say a year or more?

Q: I noticed Statoil is still declining while other oil majors are flat or bouncing today. What is your opinion on this company? I have a small position less than 1% of my portfolio. Should I hang on or cut losses? Is the dividend safe? It seems like its not afforded out of free cash flow.

Q: Peter et al,
The market is looking a little better today. Energy(CPG, BTE & SGY) constitute 20% of my portfolio. With some bargains out there, I am considering adding White Cap. I thought of adding more BTE but decided to diversify a little bit. Your comment on that, pls.
Also my wife has almost nothing but cash in her portfolio so I am trying to persuade to consider BTE. Could you recommend that to her (who is extremely conservative)?

Q: Hello Team,

Can we please get your outlook on the tanker/shipping industry, specifically DHT Holdings and Tsakos Energy (recommended at Canaccord). Frontline (FRO) had a good bounce from the March 2009 lows and I am wondering if that kind of reaction can be expected from these two names. What do you think of their debt levels and prospects. Finally, from a sector weighting point of view, would they be associated to the energy sector.

Thanks,

BK

Q: Hello,

Leg is below $5.00 now and I got into it a few days ago. I wanted to take advantage of these low prices. I was told leg hedged a lot of their oil, is this true? Is leg a good entry point at these levels. This is my only energy position. When will all this oil volatility madness end?

Greg
