Q: Hi 5i team,
I get why oil production companies, especially smaller ones, have been hammered in this unbelievable oil price collapse. I don't get why the pipelines have also had big stock price falls, especially when you include consideration of the deflationary effect of the oil price fall. Eg IPL's stock has fallen 21.6% (37 -> 29 approximately).
Have stock traders overdone the pipelines selloff?
thanks, Mike

Q: Hello,

I wonder how often you revise the ratings given to your coverage universe file.

For example, February 27, 2014 you writed a report on Enbridge with a grade of A-, since that time I have not seen a report on Enbridge ENB but is still A-

Does this mean that you are always confident Enbridge and your opinion on the title identitique.

thank you

Q: It looks like oil stocks have bottom out if one is intrested to buy now which energy stocks are best under the current circumstances,or you still believe to avoid them?much apreciated.

Q: While I am not sure where oil prices will bottom whether that is $30,$20 or even lower, they will bottom at some point. I would like to follow a short list of 4-5 energy producers that are financially sound and have the most potential for a strong rebound when prices strengthen. An alternative is to buy an ETF like XEG or perhaps a fund like Sprott's energy fund. I would appreciate your views and a short list of companies that I could buy for potentially strong gains in the energy sector if and when that happens. Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Could you give me your thoughts about buying Apple today prior to earnings which are expected to be a blowout plus their balance sheet will continue to show an enormous cash position. I am looking for a trade opportunity as well as a hold.

Thank you

Q: Is there any other update on CFN? Do you see ...deal failing and it dropping back to low levels again?
Read Answer Asked by S on January 13, 2015
Q: Why is GLN still trading at such a discount (almost 4%) to its "cash" tender value (and even more with respect to the current BCE share value)? The Rogers injunction issue seems to have been resolved and no other obvious "deal-kiillers" have come out of the woodwork.

It seems to me that the risk/reward ratio is very favorable to purchase GLN now. I would appreciate your opinion.

Thanks!

Q: Hello,
What are your thoughts on First Mineral? I hold half position in FM and was planning to increase it to a full position. The stock is down 13% in the past 3 days - should I take it as an opportunity or a warning? I am considering holding the stock for 2-3 years. (My current exposure to energy and materials combined is 25%)
Thanks.

Q: I don't know if this question has been asked. (I'm sure it has, but here goes anyway...) Do you foresee a time when you might start covering US stocks? Or at the very least, starting a US Model Portfolio, which would be great to see here. In this environment, where everyone is saying "invest in the US" it becomes crucial to have a source of reason to turn to when picking from the infinitely large minefield of companies that make up the US market. I, for one, would not be averse to paying extra for this service so you could hire some like-minded people to initiate this. Thanks for listening.
