Q: Energy and related stocks.
Like me many subscribers are seniors. I have a large holding in the above ( oil, NG, pipe line, services ect.) and am worried.

How do you see 3 TO 5 YEAR OUTLOOK for the above and what factors might play in to a reasonable assumption. How long might it take to balance supply and demand, as many say that $60ish oil will weed out some producers and reduce capex spending on new drilling . I understand that it is impossible to time the market but can you assume a reasonable oil price at sustainable levels of $70 to $80 oil and $4 for NG. any comments would be very helpful.
thanks
Yossi

Q: Hi Guys:
the only "energy" related stock I have is Gibson(GIB) and I'm down 5% 5%. I would like to jump in on one of these since they have had a big downturn, Would Suncor or Halliburton be the best to buy at these discounted prices. I noticed that the Royal Back\MorningStar rated it a very strong buy.

What's you opinion SU with a 3.45% dividend or Halliburton with a 1.98% dividend

Would any oil sands companies be seriously threatened by low oil prices?
Is COS debt manageable?

Q: I'd like your opinion about acquiring 1/2 position in HNL for a shorter term hold (and longer if necessary). Is the high dividend sustainable with the way things are looking now? Do you think the stock price will get hit hard in the next week given tax loss selling?
Grateful, as always, for your comments.

Q: Hi Peter: I generally just read the answers to questions that others ask and have found your responses very helpful. However, today I would like to ask about ala. I'm not quite sure whether it is regard as a utility or an energy infrastructure entity. I know their activities to some extent fall into both camps, but where would you put the company in this regard. I don't believe it is significantly affected by the price oil (although it may be by gas prices) but it is obviously falling in sympathy with oil.

Q: I am interested in a rising stream of income. Is BP on the NYSE a 'blood in the streets' buy? Also, since it is an ADR am I correct in believing there is no U.S. withholding tax on the dividend?

Q: Your opinion on how much lower oil will go if the Saudis keep flooding the market and how long? Will all equities go lower if oil goes lower? When buying bonds in one's portfolio do you recommend ETFs or the bonds themselves and hold to maturity?
