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!

Q: Yesterday Bellatrix BXE announced that it had completed a BOUGHT deal to sell about 25 million shares at $9.75 and that the lead underwriter was Canaccord. Today the sale has been downsized to 15million shares and has been repriced to $9.50. When is a bought deal not a bought deal? It seems to me that the underwriter takes no risk if he can change the terms of the deal the next day.
This makes this transaction more like a "best efforts " deal and not a bought deal. Could BXE not have insisted that the original terms be adhered to, at least in terms of the pricing?
What do you make of it and does this undermine your confidence in the company and alter your opinion as to whether it is a good investment?
Thanks Mike

Q: What are your thoughts on BXE Bellatrix issuing more shares to pay off debt? Is this generally considered a positive move? Will the increase to capex make a significant increase to their production?

Q: Hi Peter and Team, regarding Pinecrest, PRY, any thoughts on their results and update? At what share price do you see true value considering their tax pools, as you previously discussed. At least they are smart enough to want to pay down debt first, as much as possible. Any insight and help on this one would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and team
My question is on Bankers Petroleum BNK. My half position is now almost a full position due to the run up in price. I'm tempted to sell or at least take partial profits but my broker (TDW)has a 12 mo. target of $8.50. Or instead, should I be adding to it at this level as it seems to be finally gaining some traction with investors. What is your analysis of this co. over the next 2-3 years?
Thanks, Gerry
