Q: own these three; am going to sell lre (finally); considering the sale of legacy (or do you see some hope in the long run for legacy) just saw the possible pun in that statement!!
I believe that Spartan should recover eventually - do you agree? want to take whatever funds I do receive and invest in
a safer but more alpha stock like possibly raging river (or another you might recommend)... these three companies are in
total about 10% of my holdings in one of my smaller rrif accounts...
many thanks for your comments!! ed in pointe claire

Q: Morning ...I read a report where the gas storage tanks in Oklahoma are expected to be full by May/June ... would you expect this recent bottoming out of oil prices within the last two weeks to be superficial ?? Are we looking at a slump when there is no longer any room to store the gas? Thanks as always.

Q: Hi 5i: I'm trying to clean up my energy holdings to avoid having dead money for an extended period. PPY is down around 20% this year so far. Given that LNG hopes seem to be receding, what do you see for PPY over the rest of 2015? Thanks for your always sound advice.

Q: I purchased this for my RRSP last June at a cost of $9.00 on the recommendation from a guest pick on BNN, well before I became a member of 5I. It represents 2% currently of my RRSP, however I do have other holdings cpg,ipl,cnq,wcp.
I have reviewed your comments today, on bxe, and with Orange capital at 14.7% and Seth A. at 11.38% or in excess of 26% between the two, I am wondering if I should seriously consider doubling down to average my cost.
What are your thoughts and or suggestions.
Thanks and you have an awesome service.
On a side bar wish I could "star" some of your comments for later review

Q: hi folks:
there was a 'report' that seth klarman's baupost group recently bought 21mm shares of bxe. I cannot confirm this action and only see orange as being the sole 'big acquirer' can you tell me where I could look for confirmation of this (assuming it is not an internet 'rumour')
thanks

Q: Hello,

I have a question in two parts. I know it's hard (if not impossible) to predict where the price of oil (and as a result our dollar) is going in the short term. Having said that it seems that oil has been stabilized some what and a drop to 30$ (for any long time) in not likely. With that in mind:
1. Is it still worth it exchanging C$ to $US at current prices to buy US equities? and if yes which ones for a 2+ years hold on a non registered account.

2. Some energy stocks doubled since lows in December. Are there any that you would pick today (that even if oils goes down for a couple of months) will not go broke and have the best chance to multiply.

Thank you
M
