Q: I would like to add a smaller energy company to my portfolio mix, aiming for a bit more growth potential and I have narrowed my search to Cequence Energy (CQE) and/or Delhi Energy (DEE). Would either of these two warrant a 5% position in my growth portfolio and why? Alternatively, with companies such as these, is it better to do 2.5% in each? I am pretty fully diversified across 6 sectors, with fairly equal weighting, and wanted to start adding some "torque" to the mix. Thanks, as always, for your exemplary service!

PS I hope Peter's surgery went well, and that soon he will be able to "ride like the wind" on his cross-country trek.

Q: Can you comment on TAO.to and it's release on production and revenue increase? You have commented on it in the past and wanted to see better numbers. Did the numbers improve enough for you to consider it as less risky? Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter,
How about an update on Toscana Energy (TEI)? I believe the last one provided was in the Fall of 2013. Is the dividend sustainable and are your former partners at Sprott still involved with the company. Once again, THANKS for your great service and dedication to us small time investors !!!

Take Care

Q: Greetings 5-i:
I subscribe to an american investor service which recommends
only a few stocks, and which are well researched. The latest one
surprises me somewhat, so here I am for your opinion. GAZPROM
with the following metrics- Mkt cap 96.75B, yield 4.09% - P/e
3.66, EV/EBITDA- 2.34. I realize you specialize in canadian
listings and will obtain most of your info from BLOOMBERG,however, I am hopeing that you may have some knowledge of it from past experiences.

Thanks for your time,
BEN

Q: Re Energy stocks: Now that US investors have reportedly been buying our energy plays again and they have already run up considerably, retail investors seem to still be willing to chase/pay up for them. In your opinion, how much Iraq/Ukraine strife premium should we be factoring into these CDN energy stories and what do you feel we can expect if/when the risk premium settles down? Thanks

Q: Hi again 5i team,
This is a followup to yesterday's question re Journey Energy JOY. This morning JOY updated their website and unlike yesterday, there is now very good information re this newly 'IPO'd company. Even with the information publicly available now, I would still appreciate your expert opinion on their strategy and managment team.

Q: Hi,
I prefer to buy my stocks on pull backs, instead of at 52 week highs, mostly to protect my downside, all other things being equal. I recently held my nose, and bought Delphi Energy, DEE.TO and am more or less even, today I bought Bellatrix, BXE.TO, on the pullback, figuring we may have bottomed.
My question is, continue to hold both, or sell my full position of DEE.TO and add to my BXE.TO to make it a full position.
These are my only Nat. Gas positions, and my only Oil position is a full position in Surge.
Many Thanks

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
Palliser Oil and Gas (PXL) has been unsuccessful in finding enough oil before the money ran out. It is such a low valuation now (.12)would you recommend selling or waiting another quarter or two? I hold 3000 shares (.09% of portfolio).
