Q: I am thinking about harvesting a capital loss on VET. The stock goes ex-dividend on September 27th. I would probably repurchase 31 days after selling as it is my only energy exposure. Probably have to give up a dividend payment as it pays monthly. Not sure how long the stock bump will last even though there does not seem to be a conclusion to the Saudi war on Yemen. I suppose if I guess wrong and energy stocks stay strong I could buy Whitecap after I sell VET even though I prefer VET as a long term hold. May I have your thoughts?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hello, in a recent question by "sunday" regarding your top 5 o&g picks you listed VET, SU, HES, PXT, ARX. I notice the exclusion of WCP which you have been a proponent of for quite some time and have listed HES and ARX which have been much less mentioned by your team as top o&g picks. Has something changed with WCP that caused you to not consider it a top pick anymore? I personally think WCP has become even more attractive with mgmt showing its cautiousness and protecting of the downside risk.

Q: Hi
Could you provide me with a couple snapshots of Black Diamond please? How do they compare from a year ago, two years ago, when they cut their dividend, or even in their oil bull market phase. The question really would be if they are looking any better lately, are they doing the right things, how challenged are they, are they investable right now? Thank you

Q: Hi,
Peyto is one of the securities that likely will get dropped from the TSX index this month due to is low capitalization (below the rate required to stay in the index). My question is .... why with this impending removal from the listing is this stock moving up significantly the last week or so? Do you see other factors influencing the price, and would you consider buying at this time?
Thanks .

Q: Hello there,
Seems like investors are not rewarding growth in production in the oil patch. I own PXT which has done well over the last year but has been stuck in the mud around the same price since February but has bounced around a lot. Because the market is currently not rewarding for production growth , PXT is focusing on share buybacks and a very strong balance sheet which is great. Any thoughts on them initiating their first dividend and becoming more of a growth plus yield story? Return even more cash to shareholders?
thanks

Q: "High Arctic Energy Services said Tuesday that Papua New Guinea has validated its LNG Gas Agreement. PNG Petroleum Minister's validation included new "good faith" concessions such as the preparation of a National Content Plan, third party pipeline access, possible state participation in pipeline ownership as well as LNG transport tankers."
Does this change your opinion on the company again? Thanks.

Q: I notice that this company pays a monthly stock dividend plus CIL(cash in lieu). I have been told that there is no taxation in a non-registered account until the security is sold. I have never seen this with any other stocks I own. Can I get your opinion on the advantages or disadvantages of this type of dividend payment?
