Investment Q&A

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

Q: I thought that Bellatrix was making the right moves to return to financial health - and that may be true, But this year the first quarter shows a loss of $12.9M compared with a profit of $13M in 2017. While this was partly due to lower commodity prices, the company says "The decrease in net profit period over period is primarily due to a decrease in the unrealized gain on commodity contracts (. . . )". If I have an unrealized gain on stocks I own it is because I haven't sold them yet. But what is an unrealized gain on commodity contracts ? Is this just a paper loss or a real loss that investors should worry about ?

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.
