Q: Hello 5i
I just sold a small amount of Precison Drilling to recuperate a tax loss. I don't really want to keep anything like this permanantly in my portfolio but was hoping to buy it back in 30 days in order to get back at least what I paid for it. Is there any other stock that I could use as a substitute in the meantime?
thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I have suffered as have many with losses in this sector( most of which I have crystallized. I still own HWO, SES and CEU. Assuming I want to stay in the sector would you replace any of the above with either
TCW, SHLE or STEP.
Your opinion and supporting rationale is appreciated. Please dock my questions as you see fit
Thanks for all you do

Q: I recently made a switch out of HWO into BIR, as I am of the mindset that BIR should do well (better than HWO) in the upcoming months because of potential bottle-necking of supply of oil in the upcoming months (this theory was mentioned by Josef Schachter on a recent BNN appearance), as well as BIR's current price being discounted significantly from book value. My question is if I should consider starting a new position in HWO at some point in the future, because if the theory about bottle-necking of supply proves to be accurate, then a company such as HWO would benefit as demand for drilling new wells would increase in response. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: I hold the above in my TFSA and am down significantly on all of them. Fly is particularly concerning to me as I am down well over 50% and momentum is poor. Is it time to dump one or all even though there's no tax benefit to selling a loser? Could you suggest 2 or 3 alternatives, sector not withstanding? I hold a mix of the growth and balanced equity portfolios in our TFSA's.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,

Thanks for another year of market out performance.

I am thinking of cleaning up both RRX and HWO (which are in an non-registered account) and taking the capital losses, and consolidating the money in WCP. Can you give me the pros and cons of this switch?

Thanks for all you do.

Wes

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?
