Q: HI Team,

I currently own equal weightings in both TDG and WRG. WRG has held up far better than my TDG holding. What do you think about consolidating under just one name? Which one would you suggest better to hold for my exposure in this sector. Alternatively, is PD a better play than either of them?
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter
I belong to an investment club and I was shocked to hear that it could be time to sell this stock . I was told that between the glut in oil and US energy efficiency , it might have had its day . What do you think ? I hold it in my RRSP . Can you recommend a better replacement ?

Q: HI Team,

Could you provide an update on ESN relative to the safety of its dividend over the next couple of years and if you think the current price range is a floor. Thank you for your reply.

Q: Hi,

Your thoughts on Spartan Energy please? I recently purchased shares at 3.90. Would you recommend holding? Do you think the correction in Energy is over?

Q: Could I please have your thoughts on Long Run. It's dropped much more than my other oil & gas stocks since the energy sell-off began, and the yield has now climbed to 10%. Is it still worth holding? I'm a long-term investor with a dividend focus, and also hold BTE, CPG, SGY, VET and WCP. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Q: Hi team, just wondering what you think of offshore drilling companys currently. They have been absolutely battered. How would you compare the big offshore drillers compared to some of the drillers working in western canada. On top of that, should I be very concerned about currency risk? Thanks in advance

Q: Hi 5i team,
I am wondering whether to cut losses on BDI, it seems in a freefall for the past 6 months. The stock is down over 30% from its high point in May and continues its decline today despite overall market direction. Yesterday, I received notification from BMO that 5 brokerages either downgraded or cut prices on BDI... I know you were positive on BDI in the past, what are your current thoughts on this stock. Are fundamentals still solid? Do you anticipate it to recover from current lows within one year timeframe? Thanks.

Q: Since you have downgraded this stock by 2 notches would you now say that it is a sell rating? I currently owned this stock in my RRSP and wonder if I should sell and replace with another stock?
Thanks

Q: Everything is getting hammered this week, but i do not understand the complete devastation in surge, if as you say the payout ratio is 65 per cent with oil at 90. Dollars, then at what point will surge have to cut there payout, now yielding over 9 per cent at a price of 6.60. It seems to me like this selling in surge is way over done, it is down at least 25 percent in less than a month. And why are insiders buying, they are getting killed. Dave

Q: Hello, I have read your previous post on WEQ and has there been any change to warrant the 10% drop in the past 6 weeks. Is this a sit a wait for the acquisitions and new CEO to settle in?
Thanks

Q: Iona Energy (V.INA) has taken a large hit today on some bad news on the Huntington Field. The CATS shut down had been anticipated, although now for a longer period of time, but I imagine that the market does not like the talk of the Noreco write down on Huntington. I was hanging to my shares for a possible recovery due to the positive cash flow and the change of management earlier this year. Is that still a prudent course of action or should I sell into the next bounce and put those funds to work somewhere else?
