Q: Tourmaline has provided a revised capital program. It shows production guidance unchanged, cash flow expected to be reduced 9% ( allowing for reduced commodity pricing),and cp. budget down 12%. In Nov. you expected per share cash flow to grow 25% in 2015. These numbers seemed surprisingly positive,in the circumstances.
Would you consider Tou for addition to a TFSA with no current energy exposure and a strong bias toward growth.
Thanks
Mike

Q: Good Morning 5i Team

Please accept my apologies if this question has been previously asked and answered.

I follow a large number of companies watching news, price, volume and tracking dividend performance.

I have noticed in the past few days a number of companies showing an increased yield on their dividend... i.e. CPG going from 6.97% on Friday to 12.68% today.

Please excuse my own ignorance as I know many other members are probably aware why this is but, could you explain this to me please?

thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: As is Michael in a previous question, I am also taking a hit on this stock. The principal reason for purchasing the stock was considerable insider buying. Do you have any comments why they are doing so. Thanks, Bill

Q: What is your opinion of Crew energy.? It has been a big volatile trader this week. It is always on the most active list. Is this one you would foresee popping in price in the new year? How much insider ownership on crew? And are they mostly gas no oil? Thanks for the hand holding.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
From what I see in the Q&As today, there is a relative theme of this being one of the worst days, in a month or two of historic volatility. I`m afraid this question will not be any different, and I ask it in a more general context. Notwithstanding today`s 5% drop, on top of a couple months of , in my view, over selling, why does the market treat this stock in the same vain as an energy stock? In effect, you would think that lower priced oil / byproducts should be a stimmulus to LYB`s bottom line. With a very attractive valuation and what seems to be a positive outlook for the company, considering the potential of the US economy in the upcoming near future, can you offer insight as to the recent flogging? I look forward to your response on this one, I`m in the dark here. Thanks as always, Rick.

Q: I'm looking for a way to play the drop in oil prices. With Abe getting re-elected and Japan being a large importer of oil, I was thinking CJP may be a good way to play the drop in oil. Also was thinking about ATD.B for another way. Could I get your thoughts on both strategies.

Q: Hi,

Is your long term prognosis for oil changed at all? I'd like to buy more oil stocks when we hit bottom but fear that it may be years before it recovers? Or never?

If you had to get out your crystal ball when would you guess we'll see oil stocks recover?

Thanks

Q: On Friday Exxon, Connoco & Suncor bid 559 million for exploration rights 500 km offshore Nfld. Obviously they see the long term for oil and do not care that the oil price is in free fall now. I suspect it is getting very close to time for loading up on Suncor stock. Your thoughts. thanks.

Q: I am interested in changing a portion of my wife’s RRSP holdings to US Oil Producers. I am looking at Chevron CVX, Kinder Morgan KMI, Devon DVN as candidates due to the recent oil price meltdown. Would you recommend any of these or do you have a favorite US Oil Producer. With the weaker Canadian peso we would have been better to do this when the dollar was at par, ah hindsight!
She is 62 and plans to roll the RRSP into a RIF when required, say 10 years. The portfolio currently has 40% fixed income and 60% Canadian equities. What level of US equities would you recommend? We are comfortable with medium risk exposure.
Many thanks for your service!
John
