Q: Hello, when looking at oil and gaz exposure in a portfolio, I assume you combine oil and gaz service companies and producer to assess your overall risk. I was interested in those names: FRC, MCB, VET, PEY and BDI to build a new portfolio. Which ones would you combine or should I buy a smaller piece of each name ? Do you find those names decent buy at the momen ? I can take some risk and anticipate to hold for 5 year +. I would appreciate your general comments. Thank you.

Q: Precision Drilling (PD) and Painted Pony Petroleum (PPY) have fallen in price over the last week (5% and 10%), I assume this is due to the fall in oil prices. I realize that they work the oil industry and so should be sensitive to that, but I'm surprised that the stocks went down that much considering many analysts have buy recommendations and much higher targets (usually that keeps a floor on the stock). Could you comment on this? Thank you.

Q: Prairie Sky (PSK): what is your opinion of the new issue and their planned use of the funds? Now that the price is down in the $36.50 range, would you consider this a purchase, for income. Do you view the dividend as sustainable and is there any chance of an increase in the next year or two? How do you think PSK would fare in a market correction relative to conventional O/G producers?

Thanks, Grant

Q: Just a follow-up thought to the Legacy question, investors should be reminded that the price they paid for any security is irrelevant to the decison of whether to hold or not. "Hoping" to break-even is not the way to think about a security. Instead, the fair value means everything. The stock doesn't know what you have paid for it, and it shouldn't matter because the price is what the price is. I think you have done a good job of mentioning this in the past and instead focusing on whether the company is still a good buy/hold/sell going forward.

Q: Greetings!My question is about LEG; Legacy Oil + Gas. My former financial advisor recommended this for my non-registered account. Price paid: $12.45. Price today: $7.37. This puts me in a negative position, down $2,029.00 or 40.73 percent. Is there any hope I will ever break even with this stock in the next year or two? Should I just take sell and take a loss? BTW, I've read all the posts about this stock and did some Googling for additional insights. My objective is growth or growth with a growing dividend. (I realize LEG does not pay dividends.) Thank you.

Q: Petro One Energy (POP) dropped 50% in one day following a financing update. From your experience does this sound like a back out by the Koreans. Should I sell and move on.
