Q: Hi Peter, I fortunately did NOT have any Oil in my Portfolio. I now want to invest about $10K by buying High Risk / Big Upside COs and holding for a couple of years. I'm thinking of 2000 shares each in IKM, YGR, LXE, RRX, LEG & Dee. I only want 5, so which one would you suggest I drop?
Thanks for this and your amazing Service! Austin

Q: Sensing 5i's eroding confidence in Surge, I have sold my shares (even though you have recently suggested holding). Now I have zero allocation to the energy sector. I want to get back in on more solid ground. Can you suggest two stocks and a methodology for easing back in? Your persistence in recommending a full and proper sector allocation has been so valuable that the strategy has more than balanced out the loss in Surge. Yet I know I need to get back into energy. Thank you, don't know what I'd do without you guys.

Q: Hey guys,
Just wondering what your thoughts are on Marathon Oil Corporation compared to a larger company like Chevron. Further to that do you expect that these companies are near the bottom or will it be a while still before we see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Q: Hi 5i team!

With $47 oil would you know what SGY's approx. net back is? I know it was disclosed in the recent quarterly release at much higher oil prices, but the royalty rate also fluctuates. I am looking to go overweight in my portfolio with SGY and am willing to be patient with low oil prices for 2 to 3 years, but I am wondering SGY's "going concern" (risk of bankruptcy) with prolonged low oil prices. From my perspective if SGY is still making money at $30 oil when their hedges roll off then the long term investment should pay off?

Thanks for the advice and looking forward to the 5i Conference!

Q: Peter,
The other shoe to drop on the O/G companies is the reserves.
The 4Q report, is it suppose to mark to market the reserves on an accounting basis? And at what price these reserves have been set $100 on average last year? So they will drop 20? 30? 40%?
I know it is a one to one situation, but in your opinion what is %$ the damage they can cause on the sector.
Thanks,
Claude

Q: Hi Folks,

Forgive me for not being an economist: I am trying to understand the relationship between the falling CAN dollar in relation to U.S dollars, as it relates to the oil price and how Canadian companies report earnings. I appreciate that a lower canadian dollar has a moderating effect on Canadian Oil companies such as COS because they are selling their barrels in U.S dollars. For example, if the oil price stays at $50 U.S, this is close to $60 CAN assuming an 80 cent canadian dollar. This specific company COS has costs per barrel at ~45 CAN. Given this scenario, it doesn't seem to me that the world is coming to an end for canadian oil companies. Do you agree with my analysis? Have I missed something I should be considering? With Many thanks.
