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.

Q: Essential appears to be being crushed more so than other service industry stock. Can you provide an update as to their metrics and advise as to whether you believe this is a company that will survive the current sector cycle.

Q: Peter and team:
Could you please comment on the ability of TBE to weather the downturn over the long haul. I own shares in an RESP and an unregistered account. I wonder if I should just hold on, or if it would be wise to take the 60% hit and re-invest in WCP or similar small cap with a better balance sheet.
Thanks
Phil

Q: My impression is that Bellatrix is a quality company with good management, but it has really been beaten up in this oil price crash. Orange Capital has indicated that they want to control the company and make changes to improve shareholder value, and Orange now own something like 20% of the shares I think. I'm holding on to my shares, in the expectation that something good will happen. What do you think?
