Q: Hi,
Could you expand on your answer regarding your thoughts on the oil commodity backdrop. Charts are suggesting longer term high US $, a long US Stock cycle & a long down period for commodities. Meaning stocks like SGY, even though good on fundimentals might suffer from being in an "out of favor" sector & therefor have little upside. So your insight into how long you thing oil might be on a down cycle.

Q: Hello 5i team, can you explain the recent weakness in Delphi Energy DEE? The stock was down 6% yesterday and has fallen over 25% from recent levels, well out of line with natural gas prices. Should I put on a stop loss? Many thanks, Keith

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
Do you think now is a good time to pick up some DTX (Dethree).
It has solid fundamentals and insiders have been buying a ton of shares recently. The share price today is absolutely ridiculous trading below $8.

Thanks Peter

Q: I have bought this stock on two different occasions and have held for about a year. It hasn't done a thing. I am about to unload it and replace it with Vermilion VET. It has a decent dividend and has appreciated 8% YTD. Am I missing something in TOU? And what is your opinion of VET?

Sincerely,

Alastair Allan

Q: Storm Resources seems to be resisting the current pullback in share price that many energy companies have suffered. Apparently the market likes the fundamentals of the company but do you think this strength will continue once the next quarter results roll in, given a continued weak commodity price environment?

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: Barrons magazine predicts that the price of oil will fall to $75.00 or below based on the strong dollar and excess supply. Most experts believe that $85.00 is the floor. Your opinion would be appreciated. Thank you.

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.
