Q: Bankers Petroleum (BNK)had a sudden price drop today, followed by a rebound. The volume of shares being traded is six times than the average normal. There was a trading halt today, followed by resumption. The company is having an investor day conference in Toronto, followed by another one in London. The company seems to be doing all the right things. The stock is up 70% from the time I bought it. Should I hold or sell it here.

Q: Greetings, Peter & Co.
I appears that my previous question did not reach you so I will resubmit it and add another to it, if I may.
1. I am looking to profit from the aging 'boomers' by investing in a healthcare REIT. One possibility that I have found is Northwest Healthcare (NWH.UN)which has a very decent yield. What is you opinion of this stock? Would you recommend an alternative?
2. I would appreciate you analysis of Spartan Energy (SPE.V). Is it a buy at $4.00?
Thank you for your invaluable service to small retail investors.

Q: Good afternoon,

My question today is on WEQ and its relatively high dividend. Would you please provide an opinion on whether or not you think that this dividend is sustainable for the foreseeable future (1-2 yrs) and also comment on the payout ratio as an important indicator of whether or not the dividend is likely to be cut. Thank you.

Q: Trican (TCW) closed at a multi-year high on Friday. I have held this stock for over 2 years and am still down from my purchase price. Although I know most people shouldn't sell just because a stock has risen, I have seen it fall back down multiple times after hitting the $15-$16 range. Obviously it's been quite frustrating, and I wonder if I should exit now or continue being patient with it.

Q: re: YGR

The stock went through a 3 for 1 reverse stock split today. In your experience what is the reason reverse splits happen and what effect do they have moving forward? And are there any additional comments you have to add since your last on May 16?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Financial post headline today “The Canadian unit of France’s Total SA is putting its $11-billion Joslyn oil sands mine on hold indefinitely, saying high costs do not support investing in the project.”
Is this a significant trend and are there specific companies that may be at risk due this this. I am specifically wondering about BDI , HNL, E, Ent, and MCB and any others that you may be aware of.
Thanks
John

Q: Hi Peter and Team, would you please compare between Bonterra, BNE, Surge, SGY and Crescent Point, CPG, in terms of which one you prefer for better share price and dividend growth (1st/2nd/3rd)? All three management teams seem strong here. Based on what you have written so far I would assume SGY, but could be wrong, and thus the question to confirm. Thanks!
