Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
I have been looking at a small company in the energy sector, Pulse Seismic (PSD-TSX). The financials look good and it appears to be reasonably priced. ROE is near 30% and they use some of their free cash flow to pay a dividend, pay down debt, and repurchase shares. Year to year results can be lumpy but they also look to be in an interesting niche. I would appreciate your opinion of this company's business model along with any other wisdom that you could share. Thank you, DL

Q: Regarding Richards question on a site that tracks the WCS differential, I think the link/s below do, but perhaps you could clarify for me before posting them.

Also, the Baytex site has a listing of links of historical and current quarter.

And while I'm at it,here's a site that's good for commodity futures prices.

Q: Hi Peter:
My main Canadian Oil holding is Cenovus (CVE). Are there other's you like better, or because of price differentials would you recommend moving to the US for an Exxon or Chevron?
If Keystone is approved our optimism would improve,however this is likely a long shot.
Thank you for your good work (fabulous)

Q: New to the site this year, have rally enjoyed reading the various publications.
Question for STP, it really took a beating again today, it must be reaching the oversold now as the price is quite tempting for the long 2-3 yr buy. Your thoughts would be appreciated. I to have a small position already of 2000 share and was thinking of doubling down! No pun intended!

Q: Peter; When you see higher than normal volume, and no real price movement on a stock, such as TBE today, is this an indicator to you someone is " bailing" or someone is acquiring a large position.? Is it a buy or sell indicator to a professional? Thanks. Rod

Q: Hi Peter, just a comment. I have been trying to contact Renegade for the last three days and no one will talk. Secretary this afternoon said they were going to have a press release VERY soon. Sounds and smells like Atlantic power and Just Energy to me. I have to wonder how the management of these companies can be held responsible for the actions or in actions that they take. Much of it is outright lies. Ken

Q: This is a followup on the RPL price fall mentioned by Terrance. Volume has also been heavy - are you aware of who is doing the selling or the buying and in either case is it in any way significant ?
