Q: Hi 5i team, I have a general question on companies being removed or added to the different s&p tsx indexes. On Jan 23 a number of companies were added and many deleted (gte and exe among them), so my question is with these being very large indexes with many eft's and mutual funds holding them, is there actually a lot more buying or selling of these particular stocks by these funds or funds copying them. and if so do they have much lead time before the actual replacement date (jan 23) and would you see more adjustments continuing after the date possibly affecting normal trading of such companies.

thanks Tom

Q: What is your call on this stock generally and how does the recent share issue affect your view ?

Stock price is down 8% today on the the announcement of the bought deal: shares being issued with proceeds intended to pay down debt, etc.

Eric Nuttall says don't buy, but Josef Schachter has this as a past top pick. TD has it as an Action List Buy and shows 7 "strong buy" recommendations, but S&P Capital IQ has a "Strong Sell".

Any wisdom to add ?

Q: I own twelve oil and gas stocks in a $2.5 million portfolio as listed above. My advisor recommends selling the first seven stocks on the list and adding to the last five positions. I'm primarily interested in capital gains with dividends being a secondary consideration. Would you recommend selling any of the first seven stocks? If so, what gas and oil stocks would you choose as replacements? Thanks for your advise.

Q: Hi 51 I have a nice profit in Gran Tierra GTE, but it's not doing much and doesn't pay a dividend but some analysts are expecting good growth, I'm considering selling GTE and buying Baytex ( BTE ) or Surge ( SGE) or maybe equal shares in each , using the proceeds from GTE. What are your thoughts on a purchase either or, or both.Thx Gerry
