Q: Peter,

I am really perplexed with PSN. With one bad qurater, do you think their business model has completely failed. Is it because there were no barriers to entry in this area and others have jumped in and took it from under their nose. What about their present customers? The market seems to be discounting this as something which is not even going to be a 10 PE stock. Based on your earlier advice in a couple of the responses, you recommended holding the stock and not selling as there might be a year end rally after the tax loss selling is over. If the average price is around $4 is there still risk it might go to less than $3 or even more. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Q: With the announcement that CNOOC was being allowed to acquire Nexen, I would have expected the Nexen shares to move to CNOOC’s offer price of $27.50, but as of Monday afternoon, the shares high is $26.67. Why are the shares not trading at $27.50? That is the price I hope to sell at. Thanks … Cal

Q: Peter,

A guest on BNN Market Call on Nov 23 suggested buying PSN as a tax loss selling candidate between Nov 23 and Dec 15. At that time the stock was 5+ and now it is even lower than 3.5 and it keeps sliding. The worst part is that the analysts who downgraded the stock after the earnings report came out, have cut their targets to half from their earlier rating (BNS downgraded it to $11 and now to $5). From the earnings date till now there is only a class action suit against the company and nothing else. Also globe and mail in their article had some favorable comments. What do you see from all this? Would you favour a buy, hold or sell at these prices?

Q: Hi Peter and Team, any further thoughts on the STO/PRY deal? Weakening quite a bit after their merger announcement highs!
Your thoughts and insight on the combined company, their land holdings and where the shares go next year would help, considering oil is at about $80.00 average.
Thanks again for your help on these names.

Q: This morning, CNQ had a conference call on its 2013 budget, and only one analyst in attendance, which made for a pretty short question and answer period. This does not look very serious for such a major company. It so happens that the stock is down today much more than its peers (and is down 25% or so for the past year). Comparatively, in a similar conference Friday, COS had 6 analysts in attendance, and this made for a very healthy question and answer period. Is it normal for a major company like CNQ to have only one analyst in attendance for such an event ? This doen't look well prepared, or am I too critical in this regard ?
