Q: Hi Peter, new member as of last week. Hope you're enjoying your ride for kids with cancer! My question is on CQE. The stock has been absolutely pounded since they made their disposition and again with the sector weakness of late. Would you view this company as pretty much a bet on a cold winter for the next 9 months? The valuation is cheap ~4xCF and the balance sheet issues have been addressed. Could they be a target? Thanks and keep up the great service!
Q: Hi Team, As of writing this email, SGY (Surge Energy) has a yield of 7.9%.
Is that not to high? The share price needs to move up and we should be around a 5% div yield level which is closer to where most of the small-mid cap oil & gas dividend payers are. Could you enlighten me? Thanks,
Q: Hi,
I hold SGY but continue to be concerned about the backdrop on oil. Looks like oil is headed resistance at $86. What is your take on the mid & long term prospects for oil price & how SGY will fare in a lower oil price environment if that is what you foresee.
thx
Q: Hi Peter and Team: Hope all is well with your ride. How would you rate Surge Energy, (SGY) vs. Rock Energy, (RE), or is their another similar energy play you would rate higher.
Q: Hi Peter,
Awesome job on your cycling journey. I enjoy reading your blogs and have financially supported this cause.
Do you have any insight as to why Horizons North Logistics is losing ground today?
Also, do you think this is a good time/price to pick it up to include in a balance portfolio?
Thanks!
Q: Hello 5i team,
In the energy producing sector of my portfolio I hold CPG (light oil), BTE (heavy oil), TOU (gas) and VET (oil & gas). But I'm not too happy with CPG for their endless acquisitions by raising more equity, I'm switching it to WCP and I thank you for your concurrence.
All these holdings are more or less equal weighted; so, I'm thinking of adding to TOU my only gas-based holding and what better time than now. Unless you know of another gas-based stock of equal quality.
Thanks as always,
Tony

Q: Hello 5i team,
In the energy producing sector of my portfolio I hold CPG (light oil), BTE (heavy oil), TOU (gas) and VET (oil & gas). I'm not too happy with CPG for their endless acquisitions by raising more equity; would WCP be a worthwhile switch?
Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter. I've been reading that the US has been steadily reducing its foreign oil imports from most countries except Canada. I'm sure Canada's turn will come. Oil prices are dropping. Do you see the cost of production in Canada too high and thus reducing profits for Canadian companies. I have done well with Surge and Suncor thus far. Would you recommend reducing my position in these companies. (taking some profits)
Thanks for your great advice over the last year.

Q: Hello 5i,
my question is regarding Blackpearl (PXX). just recently i have read that heavy oil is the place to be. however it is difficult to find smaller companies that would benefit from the current heavy oil opportunities. in your opinion would PXX be a good choice as a small cap in this sector ? please explain the reasons why or why not. also do you like management, projects, execution, balance sheet etc ? thanx norm
Q: Hello, when looking at oil and gaz exposure in a portfolio, I assume you combine oil and gaz service companies and producer to assess your overall risk. I was interested in those names: FRC, MCB, VET, PEY and BDI to build a new portfolio. Which ones would you combine or should I buy a smaller piece of each name ? Do you find those names decent buy at the momen ? I can take some risk and anticipate to hold for 5 year +. I would appreciate your general comments. Thank you.
Q: Good afternoon....I was wondering what your thoughts on COS (CDN Oil Sands) with a dividend of 6.5%...basically form Income perspective as I would not anticipate much growth...based on the current volatility in the oil markets...would you say the dividend is safe? looking at longer term hold 3 to 5 years..
