Q: Hello,

I am looking at purchasing a large cap oil company. I would like your opinion on cnq vs suncor? Suncor seems to have rocketed up and cnq is still in the low 30s. What would be a better hold? Also, in general what would you consider a good percentage for a portfolio return, per year, 5%, 7%? What did you aim for when you were a portfolio manager?

Thank you again for a great service!

Q: New member here and very much enjoying reading all the information. Encana ECA came out with a report today and indicated they would be cutting dividends and the shares have risen. If the yield falls below 4%, I might consider selling. Is it a buy, hold or sell at the moment?

Q: Hi Team,
With global growth slowing, what is your outlook for the price of OIL going into 2014 and are you still liking Ithaca ( IAE ) energy for growth and production outlook? Could it also be a possible takeover candidate?
Thanks and have a great day,
Jean C.

Q: Could you please provide some insight into the steep decline in Natural Gas prices over the past couple of weeks. Last week's inventories were down from the previous week, which would suggest a rise in price, not further declines. I realize that future's contracts also play a role in price determination, but we are going into a period of seasonal strength for Natural Gas which would support rising futures. Your comments? Many thanks!

Q: I was reading an article where the authors states with the fort hills project start up tck.b won't have free cash flow till 2017and that is reason not to buy it. I look at it that if your cash flow is going into a project that increase future cash flow and will have a good ROC and growth that is money well spent . What your thoughts?

Q: I`d appreciate your opinion on Talisman (TLM)
Carl Ichan has become a large shareholder. Would that influence your opinion?

Q: Hi,

I see you like IEP from previous questions. One of Carl's investments is CVI (CVR Energy). It owns portions in refining and fertilizer business. Historically it has paid big dividends. They just reported bad Q3 earnings due to 53 days of unexpected downtime causing high margins and less revenue. This was exasperated by the tightened spreads in August on inputs which seem to be widening again. The stock is down on these recent developments. Carl likes this company and may have plans for the future - company has cash on hand. Is this a good value opportunity given these one time events or do you still see too much risk in the refining space? Appreciate your comments.
