Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own SGY and is currently down 50% (ouch, yes!). The PR of yesterday to me is a mix signal. You cut dividends and sell assets and yet you maintain the capital spending level without reductions? Why sell asset on one hand and add more assets on the other hand (through capital spending)? Any reason that I should hold on or should I just throw in the towel (and take my tax losses)?

Your insight is much appreciated.

Q: I own Surge Energy which is down 54% and presently represents 1% of my portfolio. I want to slowly build up this sector by starting to buy again into Surge but I thought I should also add another name and keep the 2 within the overall 5% range of the total. What other name would you recommend. Thanks. Gerry

Q: Hello,
I am down 74% on Surge Energy and still hanging on. I understand their debt to capital ratio is 12% which seems low so I am expecting that they should be able to survive this crisis. The insiders are buying heavily. I am thinking of buying more at the current very low price now as I really only have a half position in it. Would you agree with this thinking and strategy? I dont need the money for a few years. Or should I top up my position in Whitecap which does not have the same low debt and heavily insider buying? Thanks for your help!

Q: I had it recorded that Surge was to report their results on July 29, now I see where they are expected on July 30 (today) but interestly I can find no announcement from Surge on exactly when they would announce their results. Do you have insight on when their Q2 2015 will be made available to investors.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

I currently own SGY. Because of the decrease in the stock price my position is only about 2.5% (down from 5%). Do you recommend keeping this stock, putting more into it or selling it and buying another stock from your Growth portfolio? Like BOS, DRT, or TC?

Thanks for all your help!

Best wishes,
Terri.

Q: I hold RMP based on your recommendation of it being one of the better O&G stock. However it has been going nowhere but down for quite sometime. Would you suggest I sell it and buy either TVE, SGY or TDG as SGY seems like it is gaining momentum and TVE and TDG have recently been recommended by multiple analysts. Thanks

Q: There was a recent laudatory article in Seeking Alpha extolling the virtues of Surge. The author made two points that stood out for me. First, that the break even point for the company is $36 per barrel (don't know if that is Cdn$ or US$). Second, that Surge made a recent announcement that their reserves on their Upper Shaunavon development are now estimated to be 250,000 barrels vs the previously announced 50,000 barrels.

Do you concur with these two points and if so, does that reduce your concerns about Surge going forward?

Thanks for the insight.
