Q: Hello all
I am zero invested in oil and gas right now.
I have a bit of room in RSP account and thinking of taking one oil stock with a decent dividend for a long term hold. Purchasing right away so today’s prices are in play.
Either Vermillion or White Cap fit I think, thoughts on those or another option would be appreciated.

Q: I recently sold my Spartan shares for $6.77 - as of yesterday the price was down to $6.51 and I am looking at repurchasing.
in your opinion, should I purchase Vermilion or stay with Spartan (is there an advantage to be found here)?
It is my understanding that owners of Spartan receive .15 of a Vermilion share if the deal goes through!

Q: Do you think this current oil rally is sustainable,I believe seasonally we are coming into a weak time of the year.Do you think because of all the projects around the world that have either been deferred,cancelled or scaled back,do you know of any numbers that would support the fact that the surplus could become a possible shortage due to lack of new barrels coming online and what we be your top oil pick be for growth and dividend regardless of cap size thanks for your great professional service

Q: I'm considering adding one oil & gas stock to my portfolio. If you were going to buy only one oil and gas stock for your portfolio, which one would it be? Who would the runner up be? I'm not looking for an ETF. I'm a growth investor, not a dividend investor, generally looking to avoid anything that's too highly levered. Thanks.

Q: I am underwater on both of these stocks. Gas prices are up, they both issue regular dividends but I don't see upward movement in the stock price. I have kept them because the dividend is regular (for now). Overall portfolio weightings aside, do you believe I should be adding to these or do you think there is still a downward trend in the sector.
Thanks

Q: In a reply to Aubrey on Tuesday you recommended crystallizing a loss in SPE and buying VET for the tax benefit. I hold SPE shares at a cost of $9.03, but I totally fail to see any tax benefit in selling SPE and buying VET. Why not just wait for the share conversion a 0.1476 per SPE share? Please explain the tax benefit of selling SPE at a loss.

Q: I am under the impression that energy may be starting to rebound with the price of oil continuing to rise, and the outlook looking better for pricing. Gas prices are also getting very high in Canada. I have holdings in ENB, ENF, and BIR. Are than any others you would recommend, in Canada or the US, or perhaps an international energy etf, that might recover very well? I can pull some cash out of ENF to avoid being sector overweight.

Thanks
