Q: Hi, I am bit confused about my Canadian oil and gas sector performance in last month or so. crude oil prices are now at $65, but Canadian companies in this sector keep getting lower and lower. I currently have positions in ZEO, BIR, HWO, PEY, & RRX.
Has spread for Canadian oil deteriorated compared to normal levels?

Q: I own Birchcliff and at a loss currently. Debating to average down and make it a 5% holding in a diversified portfolio. I do own tourmaline which is 1% and it is down as well. So far my bet on NG is not working but if i hold on to the survivors things should turn around. Is Birchcliff worth the risk at a 5% holding assuming it can last on current prices of NG.

Q: Happy new years to you guys at 5iresearch!!! I hold positions in all of these and they have been dogs for about a year now. I am a fairly long term investor and I am wondering when I am going to see some up side to these as the oil sector seems to be recovering. Or would you suggest to let them go? Thanks for your time

Q: Thanks for the update on why weed is going up today based on the announcement in California. Why is this affecting Canadian stocks? Also, are there names in US that one can speculate on that are like weed and APH in Canada? Gas stocks in Canada seem to be tied to oil price. Lately, oil is going up but BIR and TOU hardly move. I am almost to the point of throwing in the towel for Canadian names given the political climate in Canada with regards to energy and pipelines. Any comments? Thanks again.

Q: I remember, maybe 5 years ago or so Peter recomended First Service corp because it had initiated a divident, he suggested the initation of a dividend was one of the better buy signals. It made sense to me and i bought the shares at that time, and it has been a great investment

Two part question
1. Please share your thoughts on div initiation as a buy signal
2. Please share a couple of tickers that have recently initiated a dividend and could be bought today

Thanks

Kuldar
