Q: Of my two oil companies, WCP and SGY, I am even on WCP and down 35% on SGY, which is less than 2% of my portfolio. I'd like to add to my oil holdings while it appears to be trading at the lower end of a range. My gut wants to average down on Surge, but me brain says to add another holding, I'd appreciate an opinion and other option if deemed appropriate?

Q: Paul Colbourne continues to purchase stock in the open market. Another 65000 last week. My question is can the CEO still be buying his own company shares if he feels the company will be taken over or is PC buying because he feels the stock is cheap. His previous history speaks seems like he knows what he is doing.

Q: I bought some Zargon debentures as a speculation under $50 and they have had a good run with the news of an asset sale. Assuming the sale closes and net debt is down to $35 million do you think the debentures should be held to redemption next year or does the remaining risk favor cashing in now.
Also, does Toscana's sale of 6% of their production to reduce their debt by about 20% improve the prospects of that company's debentures enough to consider them?
Thanks, Jason

Q: A comment and a question if I may. There's so much talk about markets being at 'all time record highs' as if this is a reason in itself to sell or short. But if markets have consistently gone up over many decades, you could argue that in a historical sense the market is almost always at an all time high.

On to my question: I need to add an oil/energy stock for diversification and I'm on the growthier side of risk tolerance. Do you have a preference between RRX and ENB at this time?

Thanks 5i!

Q: Hi 5i team,

As infrastructure in various countries are now in an expansion/renewal phase, infrastructure stocks may be the new 'utility' stocks of the future. I currently already owned BIP.un. Given the current market conditions, please recommend some Canadian or US listed infrastructure stocks or ETFs that are worth investing in now. Thanks

Q: Peter and Co., may I please have your response to the following quote from HWO's website? The drop in the stock appears to imply that there are significant problems. Only a few days notice was given before the departure.
"High Arctic also announces that Darren Greer is resigning from the position of President, International Operations in order to pursue another senior executive opportunity in an Australian exploration and production company effective August 19, 2016."

Q: Hello Peter:

Ithaca released their 2Q results on Monday and it appears that the FPF1 is on station and is in the process of getting its 14 anchors hooked up. What is your viewpoint of the results? Do you think that this stock is nearing the derisking point? I know that there is still a risk with dynamic commissioning of any platform but once oil starts to be produced in Nov the daily production should double to 20-25k a day. With the production starts where do you think this stock could rise to in a $50/bbl environment with an operating cost of $20/bbl?

Thanks,

Brendan
