Q: Hi Guys:
the only "energy" related stock I have is Gibson(GIB) and I'm down 5% 5%. I would like to jump in on one of these since they have had a big downturn, Would Suncor or Halliburton be the best to buy at these discounted prices. I noticed that the Royal Back\MorningStar rated it a very strong buy.

What's you opinion SU with a 3.45% dividend or Halliburton with a 1.98% dividend

Is COS debt manageable?

Q: I'd like your opinion about acquiring 1/2 position in HNL for a shorter term hold (and longer if necessary). Is the high dividend sustainable with the way things are looking now? Do you think the stock price will get hit hard in the next week given tax loss selling?
Grateful, as always, for your comments.

Q: Hi Peter: I generally just read the answers to questions that others ask and have found your responses very helpful. However, today I would like to ask about ala. I'm not quite sure whether it is regard as a utility or an energy infrastructure entity. I know their activities to some extent fall into both camps, but where would you put the company in this regard. I don't believe it is significantly affected by the price oil (although it may be by gas prices) but it is obviously falling in sympathy with oil.

Q: I am interested in a rising stream of income. Is BP on the NYSE a 'blood in the streets' buy? Also, since it is an ADR am I correct in believing there is no U.S. withholding tax on the dividend?

Q: There has been increased trading volume and stock price over the last week. I cannot find any news to explain this, am I missing something? A compensation repayment for cancelled lease by the Alberta government is pending and has been for quite some time. I have been holding on to the stock for a few years. Would you continue to hold or sell?

Q: Your opinion on how much lower oil will go if the Saudis keep flooding the market and how long? Will all equities go lower if oil goes lower? When buying bonds in one's portfolio do you recommend ETFs or the bonds themselves and hold to maturity?

Q: Could you please give me your opinion on Elkwater, the strength of its balance sheet and its ability to grow production profitably with low energy prices. Do you have knowledge of where their properties are located and what price of oil would be necessary to keep the production going.
My current sector allocation is 9%. Do you think it is a good one to take a flyer on? The share price has gone down quite a bit and don't they have cash more than the company's current valuation? I would very much appreciate your thoughts.
