Investment Q&A

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

Q: I request your opinion on National Oilwell Varco (NOV.us). I have been holding NOV. Didn’t cut my losses . Just as the behavioral science fellows correctly say, I held on to NOV, BHI, and many other oil-related 'enterprises'. I dreamt of fabulous wealth gushing from this black gold. I have now been rudely awakened from slumber. Oil is not, after all, the black gold one thought. Gold remains yellow and elusive, while oil is apparently plentiful. In your opinion , based on your experience, instinct and the data on your Bloomberg , are oil service companies more likely than not to rise in value by end of year ? Is NOV’s dividend safe... or did the Doha Club just pull the rug under us?

I will nurse my many painful wounds as I await your thoughtful response, O Wise One (I am bowing). and thank you for creating 5i and making it available to us.
Best wishes

Q: Could I get an update on NOV (NovX21, formerly Pro-Or) I've been watching it for some time and it certainly has a good idea and aparently they have proven the technology but I don't see where they are going to get the money from. Is it a high risk buy down at this low price.
Thanks Doug

Q: hello 5i:
some time ago (2013) you suggested that companies such as PD and TCW were on equal footings with NOV. My personal research shows that NOV is very undervalued now(50%ish). Can you comment on NOV and can you suggest Canadian companies that could provide at least as much value, at present valuations.
thanks

Q: Dear Peter,
I hold shares in NOV (National Oilwell Varco). The Co has announced a restructuring. Would it result in negative tax implications for a canadian investor? Do you know when the restructuring will take place? Should I hold or sell for reinvestment elsewhere? Thanks. I appreciate the great service.

Q: Should one be interested in buying National Oilwell Varco (NOV), a US stock at 69$, would you be able to confirm it is something solid and worthwhile ? (Standard&Poor gives it a 5-star rating and a 12-month target price of 95$)Diversification with a good US stock is normally OK, but do you see better fishing in Canada ?
