Q: Hi Peter,
What do you think of Blackpearl Resources (PXX)? I have exposure to this company and have followed the management team for years with their predecessor firm BlackRock, which did extremely well. They have current daily production of around 10,000 bbls/day, no debt and a huge potential resource in their blackrod lease in Northern Alberta. I'm sure in a few years they will be looking at a exit strategy as they have with all their previous companies once they prove that their oil sands resource is commercially viable. Any thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Hello,
I own ZCS (ETF) for the fixed income portion of my portfolio and I was wondering if I should diversify in other names. Is there a specific risk of owning only one ETF for a large portion of a portfolio. I understand that ZCS is diversified in various names and sectors and uses DEX Short Corp. Bonds as benchmark. Would you have suggestions ? I know about CBO which seems OK. I prefer to stay in the short / medium term (5 year max) as I feel the risk/reward for long bonds is not very attractive if the interest rates do go up. I tried to find a low fee mortgage fund without success and my interest in government bonds is very limted (returns are too low).
I would appreciate your thoughts and thank you for offering a great service. Regards, Pierre
