Q: I was interested in purchasing Athabasca Oil, given Eric Nuttall's recent comments on BNN that while the company's debt load is presently high, it should be "debt free in 3 or 4 months."

5 I, on the other hand, makes no mention of reduction of debt in Athabasca's future, in a recent comment and suggests further it is not a top choice.

Would you be able to elaborate on this please?
(5 I is my go-to for checks and balances, and I hardly do anything on the market now, without your opinion!)

If not Athabasca, what would be a good "growthier" name in the Energy/Oil space that you could recommend, with good conscience, at this time.

Thank you.

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: Hi there,

I've been out of oil for a few years now. In your opinion is now the time to get back in? Is there legs behind the recent rally? I was looking at Yangarra and Parex - do you prefer one over the other? Or another name entirely?

Thank you!

Q: I seek your thoughts on the following: my portfolio is constructed to a max weighting of 4% per holding. As I am retired I now have a minimum 3% div payout requirement. I am a 30 plus year investor in the markets and not shy on a slightly higher volatility and risk. I have been out of oil and gas totally over the past few years. I am looking at entering a small to mid cap producer. Cardinal certainly meats the div need but I am concerned about its viability to maintain it. Whitecap is around 3.5% yld and I have held it in the past. It is much larger, but which one do you think has the most capital growth from here, and is the most sound investment or would you go into both? thank you

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
Jim

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.
