Q: Since you have downgraded this stock by 2 notches would you now say that it is a sell rating? I currently owned this stock in my RRSP and wonder if I should sell and replace with another stock?
Thanks

Q: Everything is getting hammered this week, but i do not understand the complete devastation in surge, if as you say the payout ratio is 65 per cent with oil at 90. Dollars, then at what point will surge have to cut there payout, now yielding over 9 per cent at a price of 6.60. It seems to me like this selling in surge is way over done, it is down at least 25 percent in less than a month. And why are insiders buying, they are getting killed. Dave

Q: Hello, I have read your previous post on WEQ and has there been any change to warrant the 10% drop in the past 6 weeks. Is this a sit a wait for the acquisitions and new CEO to settle in?
Thanks
Roy

Q: Iona Energy (V.INA) has taken a large hit today on some bad news on the Huntington Field. The CATS shut down had been anticipated, although now for a longer period of time, but I imagine that the market does not like the talk of the Noreco write down on Huntington. I was hanging to my shares for a possible recovery due to the positive cash flow and the change of management earlier this year. Is that still a prudent course of action or should I sell into the next bounce and put those funds to work somewhere else?

Q: So is the sell off overdone? I vowed never again to let a position drop more than 25 per cent before I bailed and I am getting close to that mark. Move on to a better opportunity while there is still some capital left?

Q: Regarding Cash Flow and oil and gas stocks....as a general rule of thumb and assuming reasonable growth prospects, at what multiple to cash flow is a company fairly valued? Obviously other factors play a part but for example TOU is trading at 13 time C/F and SGY at 7 times C/F.
Perhaps TOU has greater growth prospects but relatively speaking SGY seems quite a bit less expensive by this metric.
I am just trying to get a handle on using cash flows as a reference to determine value....
