Q: Oil.  Is it making a rebound? 

If so where to invest. Companies that specialize in drilling , distribution or refineries?? 

Thanks. Barry

Q: May I have your comments on Parex Resources Q2 release.
My reading is positive on all metrics, but I have no idea what estimates were or street expectations. A 6% drop on the release seems overdone? Am I missing something?
I have a small (1%), recent position, in my TFSA, so 6% isn't overly worrying, but does it illustrate growing unease among investors?

Q: Hello:
RE: XLE Energy Select Sector SPDR (ETF)
(This ETF does not appear in your dropdown menu).

With the price of oil dropping today to the $49 level,
my position in XLE is down 10 % since I purchased mid Nov 2016.
I also hold SPE & PXT in my TFSA; my total Energy exposure is just over 4.5% of my total holdings.
What are your thoughts on XLE with regard to having it as a core holding in the energy space ? Would you recommend a Canadian energy ETF instead (i.e. ZEO) ?
My risk tolerance is medium to high, am looking for growth.
I purchased this ETF after Nov 8th and researched the "Trump" factor.
Appreciate your input ... thanks, Steve.

Q: I have a good gain in Parex (PXT) so far and I was wondering what your takes on the company is going forward? It recently came out with an excellent reserve and production update and the shares jumped. Should I continue to hold it or take some profits? More importantly, is the stock still a buy today, after the reserve increase and corresponding raise in the share price? Thanks.

Q: symbol: PXT - Peter, what did you think of Parex's Q4 release? I thought the quarter was very good. It looks like they meet or exceeded street estimates and will have to raise their production guidance for 2014. They also have a few catalysts on the immediate horizon. Why did the shares pull back today and is there still upside in this name?
