For a buy and hold investor, which of the 4 drilling companies mentioned, would you recommend?

CFW, ESI, PD, or TCW.

Thanks for all you do for us retail investors.

Q: Good afternoon,

My question today is on WEQ and its relatively high dividend. Would you please provide an opinion on whether or not you think that this dividend is sustainable for the foreseeable future (1-2 yrs) and also comment on the payout ratio as an important indicator of whether or not the dividend is likely to be cut. Thank you.

Q: Trican (TCW) closed at a multi-year high on Friday. I have held this stock for over 2 years and am still down from my purchase price. Although I know most people shouldn't sell just because a stock has risen, I have seen it fall back down multiple times after hitting the $15-$16 range. Obviously it's been quite frustrating, and I wonder if I should exit now or continue being patient with it.

Q: re: YGR

The stock went through a 3 for 1 reverse stock split today. In your experience what is the reason reverse splits happen and what effect do they have moving forward? And are there any additional comments you have to add since your last on May 16?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Financial post headline today “The Canadian unit of France’s Total SA is putting its $11-billion Joslyn oil sands mine on hold indefinitely, saying high costs do not support investing in the project.”
Is this a significant trend and are there specific companies that may be at risk due this this. I am specifically wondering about BDI , HNL, E, Ent, and MCB and any others that you may be aware of.
Thanks
John

Q: Hi Peter and Team, would you please compare between Bonterra, BNE, Surge, SGY and Crescent Point, CPG, in terms of which one you prefer for better share price and dividend growth (1st/2nd/3rd)? All three management teams seem strong here. Based on what you have written so far I would assume SGY, but could be wrong, and thus the question to confirm. Thanks!

Q: Yesterday Bellatrix BXE announced that it had completed a BOUGHT deal to sell about 25 million shares at $9.75 and that the lead underwriter was Canaccord. Today the sale has been downsized to 15million shares and has been repriced to $9.50. When is a bought deal not a bought deal? It seems to me that the underwriter takes no risk if he can change the terms of the deal the next day.
This makes this transaction more like a "best efforts " deal and not a bought deal. Could BXE not have insisted that the original terms be adhered to, at least in terms of the pricing?
What do you make of it and does this undermine your confidence in the company and alter your opinion as to whether it is a good investment?
Thanks Mike
