Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have owned Talisman [TLM] for a couple of years and am under water. At this point in 2014 I have capital gains which would easily offset the loss resulting from selling TLM. I'm looking for a suggestion on the way forward given this comment on BNN.
"We believe this provides an opportunity for astute, patient investors as the stock sells at a large discount to comparable companies and we do not expect that to stay that way forever. Investors also get to collect a 2.5% yield."
I don't need the cash so could sit tight and wait until later in the year. My energy exposure is about 7%. As a retired person I look more for yield than growth but do hold a number of your recommendations such as Amaya.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Ron

Q: re: PRW - Petrowest

Back on Jan 13 Dundee Securities raised their price objective for PRW from $1.20 to $1.50. And Bruce Campbell on Market Call was excited about their prospects considering their highway expansion projects and the infrastructure needs the Canadian Oil & Gas sector would have in the coming months.

Since then share prices saw a brief time between $1.02 & $1.08 before falling to between $0.92 & $0.97 (majority of time closer to $0.92) where we have seen it for the past 6 weeks.

The all of a sudden yesterday is closed at $1.00 and today it is at $1.02 with trading at 2.85 times average daily volume

PRW has one of the larger "Big Yellow" equipment fleets and I have been expecting them to enjoy plenty of new projects as a result of the healthy Oil & Gas Sector and specifically the LNG project in BC.

Can you give any advice re this equity and if in fact there are any reasons to expect PRW to begin heading to the levels The "Experts" expected when they reported at the beginning of the year?

Is this a buy low sell high opportunity?

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: Good morn.
Since the energy sector is rebounding nicely, I would appreciate
your pic on 2 or 3 additional stocks that you feel have legs for the next 12-18 months. I currently hold IPL,PPL,KEY,PKI,
BXE,TOU & SGY in this sector however, I classify IPL,PPL,PKI & KEY as support so I really only hold 3 pure oil& gas plays. Would appreciate you expertise as ever.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have some shares in Spartan Energy Corp (SPE) and I want to add some more in the next 3-6 months. I was wondering what are their current metrics. Price to earnings, price to cash flow, their overall debt amount and any other metrics I should be considering.
Thanks, Shane

Q: PSD Pulse Seismic results disappointing. I stock still worth holding? You emphasize that one quarter should not be concerning but even with these results?

Q: Hi Peter,
I see the pricing for PrairieSky has been released this morning or at least a price range. Looks like they will be selling 25% to the public or 32.5 million shares at a price range of $23-$26.50/share for total proceeds of approx $800MM. The dividend will be $1.27/share for a yield of approx 5% depending on the final price. Do you think the valuation looks compelling enough to pick up on the IPO? Thanks

Q: Good morning Peter,
Would appreciate updated thoughts on MEI.to and ORC.b.v.
Manitok's latest update looks great (to me) but the stock has moved very little.
Orca delivered on output but isn't getting paid.
What to do at present ? Thank you, Paul
