Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: re: PNE

Is it just me or does Michael Campbell always have a very compelling story.

In looking into it further, there is no question Mr. Fink knows what he is doing. And now he is apparently doing the same thing again with Pine Cliff.

Has anything happened or has your opinion changed - for the better or worse- since your last comment on PNE July 28?

Thanks for all you do

Q: I own $6000 (par value) of Southern Pacific Resources (STP) non-secured senior bonds, due in 2018, that I purchased some time ago through my discount brokerage. All indications are that STP is on the verge of bankruptcy. Today, the market price of the STP bonds is 62 cents, indicating that likely some fraction of the bonds' face value should be recoverable during the (probable) bankruptcy proceedings.

As a retail investor, I do not know what the procedure is for small bondholders when a company is in bankruptcy. Assuming that bankruptcy occurs, will I need to personally make a claim for my money, or will I normally be able to "piggy-back" off the legal efforts of major bondholders and wait for the settlement? Do all bondholders need to share the legal expenses related to the bankruptcy proceedings?

Thanks for any clarifications you may be able to provide.

Q: I saw your recent response to a question asking for your top energy companies. I was surprised, based on many of your previous answers to questions, that Whitecap(WCP) was not on your list. Has anything changed with respect to your views/expectations on Whitecap in terms of relative valuations particularly with the recent increase in share price, current expected growth,etc.?

Q: Hi..

Can you give me your perspective on Rock Energy. It is near all time highs. Would you hold it if you owned it or would this be a selling opportunity and move on to a different oil stock.

Thanks for your time...

Q: I have about 10% of my portfolio in reits and another 10% in energy. Seeing the possibility of an imminent rise in interest rates, I'm considering selling my car.un, (about 3%,) and buying an integrated oil co. such as HSE or another name you might suggest with the proceeds. I already own SGY and CPG. I prefer some growth along with a decent dividend.

Thank you for this service.
