Q: Hello 5i Team. I hold a small positon in Dundee Energy (DEN)and it hasn't done much in a long time. I am questioning whether it is worth holding onto or just selling and finding a better company. Would appreciate your thoughts. Keep up the great work!

Q: I am considering placing about 4% of my RRSP into Spyglass Resources. The dividend of over 13% seems exciting, is it sustainable and what do you think of SGL chances for growth over the next six months to a year?

Thanks again!

Q: Your thoughts on CTA (Crocotta Energy) please. It was featured as a Top Pick on BNN this week and I was wondering if it was a good energy play in an RRSP account.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: I’m confused by Dualex (DXE) and Africa Hydrocarbons (NFK), probably within a few weeks of test results from their Tunisian oil well joint venture. It seems all the preliminary log results look promising and “hydrocarbon shows” have been noted but you don’t know if you have a commercially viable well until you flow test it and they are still just about to do that. Meanwhile some of the numbers are not adding up for me. I think NFK has a slightly smaller interest in the project (47.5% for NFK: 52.5% for DXE). NFK had 5% more shares outstanding and just today announced a private placement with Canaccord that could float another 18% more shares potentially, at 18 cents a unit (with each unit including one share and one half warrant good at 30 cents). On the same day the NFK share price catches up to DXE’s and both close with a bid/ask spread of 0.245/0.25. As I understand it NFK doesn’t really have any other assets aside from this JV. DXE on the other hand has a Hungarian nat gas property that has cash-flowed a couple of million $ annually, which while not overwhelming is at least more than nothing. So how does more dilution, less of an interest, and less other assets add up to an equivalent share price? What is NFK’s rationale for doing this financing on the eve of testing the well? Were they completely out of money and caught in a bind? Or is this a signal that they are not so confident in the well test after all. If they aren’t confident, what is Canaccord doing? A dry well means the $0.30 warrants probably never get exercised. Are they going to immediately flip all of the private placement shares for a couple of pennies profit? Or is this NFK maybe giving Canaccord a sweet deal now to lock up a more favorable financing deal that would follow on positive well test results? Can you make this story coherent?

Q: With oil prices declining and some expecting even biggger declines in oil prices
would this be a good time to short oil and/or to sell off some oil companies?

Thanks.

Q: Given the ever-increasing growth in oil and gas production in North America and the relatively tepid demand for these resources, I'm inclined to think that the price of a barrel of oil or BCF of natural gas will decline in the coming years. Am I right in this assumption and would it negatively impact service companies, in particular Shawcor?
