Q: Can I have your opinion on two high risk stocks (WZR, LYD) that are down quite a bit over the last couple of years. I planned on holding onto them long term, however, lately I am wondering if I should cut my losses and get rid of them. Thanks.
Q: Hi Peter & Co.,
I read an article in the G&M this morning extolling the merits of Prairie Sky for income investors. No mention of other companies, specifically FRU was made in the article. So I'm wondering, with FRU's dividend yield approximately double that of PSK's, would I necessarily be taking on significantly more risk in taking a position in FRU? Can you please comment on the pros & cons of investing in one versus the other?
Many thanks,
Brian
Q: Hi,
Please compare the financial metrics of these two oil producers for me and offer your thoughts on which would be the better buy at today's levels for a long-term hold. Would Surge be riskier than Spartan because of the risk of a dividend cut? Thank you.
Q: Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) was highly recommended on BNN last night. What is the difference between RDS.A and RDS.B? Is this a safe long term bet and which one, if any, would you buy?
Thanks.
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: I have held Diamondback for a while and am now down fairly significantly. Would you continue to hold, or do you think it is time to get out. What is your view of the company in comparison to other energy companies, and on the energy sector as a whole currently
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?
Could you please give your opinion of the earnings results for Whitecap?
Given the results and today's valuations, if you had to buy either Surge or Whitecap tomorrow, which of the two would you buy for a 5 year hold in a TFSA?
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.
