Q: What is the payout ratio for TA? It's yield is 13.408% and pays out a quarterly amount of 0.18 for a total of 0.72 per year. It earns 0.66 a share per year. Therefore I figure the payout is 109%. Is this how the pay out rate is calculated. If I am correct. how can a company sustain paying out more than it earns, thanks

Q: hi peter
so i waited for the cos announcement and in it they offer nothing new but promises as usual, and mediocrity. I hope ryan kubik loses his job for the way he has handled this. I'm tendering my shares before the deadline which in reality is tomorrow. Has your view changed at all? Thanks

Q: Hi, I realize you do not cover these, but you may know which one is most suited for a retail investor. Greetings Peter.
Q: I own a little ZAR, and it has gone down a lot since I bought it, but now the chart looks interesting, and there has been quite a lot of insider buying lately. Do you think it would be a good idea now to double down, and reduce my ACB?
Q: Good Day,
I see today that CEO and co-founder Lorenzo Donadeo has decided to retire on March 1,2016 as CEO and become chairman of the Board. Any thoughts? The share price is up today so the market doesn't seem to be concerned with this news. Obviously he won't be running the show day to day but as Chairman of the Board will be instrumental in guiding the company.
Thank-you

Q: The Globe had a link to an article that described US shale oil producers as facing a "debt bomb" due to low oil prices, declining cash flow and high debt. The article predicts a serious meltdown in the first half of 2016. My question relates to the impact this could have on US banks? My ETF has been doing ok, and I expect banks to be favoured by rising interest rates. I suppose this question could be extended to other commodity areas and Canadian banks as well. Do you see significant risk in banking in the near term due to debt failure? Thanks
Q: I am thinking of buying 5,000 shares of Chesapeake Energy, now down close to 80%, and just holding and forgetting about this investment for five years. What do you think of this plan?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Q: Hi, if you owned the lre convertable debenture right now, expiring in 2018/19, would you sell right now at about 30 cents on the dollar, or continue to hold hoping that interest payments continue and a chance of being able to get capital back at the expiry date?
Q: Peter and Team:
My oil sector in a non registered account consists of BDI, PD, PPY, and SPE. (Down about 50% in all)I am willing to hang in for the long haul, but wonder about the ability of these companies to survive a sustained downturn. Could you please rank in order of "fiscal health".
Also what are your thoughts on moving out of this sector altogether to avoid "lost opportunities". Sector weighting is irrelevant in this higher risk frequently traded account.
Thank you as always.

Q: I’m presently thinking I just may hold on to my COS although I think SU is far better company to hold but I paid too much for my COS to sell it down here when I think when oil recovers so will COS with less shares being traded on a daily basis.
COS has a good Asset or SU wouldn’t want to increase their portion of the Oil Sands.
I think after the Offer closes if in fact SU gets enough COS shares submitted for them to accept them, there will be less shs of COS in the marketplace. It will likely drop off to about say $4.00 while oil is low and if it does, I’ll average down.
When Oil recovers so will COS. It won’t get anywhere close to what I paid but if I can average down when I think COS gets low enough to buy to average down I won’t lose as much as tendering my shs to SU.
COS can always do a New Issue to bring their shs to a half decent level besides giving them cash to benefit their operating expenses. SU isn't going to be selling so a New Issue may be successfully done.
This may just be the best thing that could happen favouring the COS shareholders.
Now give me your opposing argument to this flakey idea. Tomorrow I just may change my mind but at the moment I think I favour this idea.
Thx Fellows - don't be afraid to be brutally critical - in fact I'd appreciate it.

Q: Good Ryan and Pete,
Could you give me your thoughts on Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure? Would you consider the people running the company to be competent managers and good value creators? Thanks!

Q: No questions on this one this year. I am considering re-entry in a small way to the resource sector. Parex has been a steady outperformer (up 40% ytd) so I'm giving it some thought. However, I note that in November there has been some selling from a number of insiders which causes me some concern given that it is not just selling by one (which as you often correctly say could be for any number of reasons).
Your thoughts on this stock would be much appreciated.
Thanks as always
Neil
