Q: Would appreciate your take on three non drill bit energy services companies: Pason PSI (instrumentation), Secure SES (waste treatment) and Canadian Energy CEU (drilling chemicals) relative to Black Diamond BDI. Technically all four are all above their 50 day MA and all have excellent gains in the last 12 month period ranging from approximately 65-155%. What is your evaluation based on their financial health, growth prospects, etc?

Q: Hello Peter and team
In your new Growth Portfolio, your weighting appears to me to be 25% Technology, only 5% Energy and 15% Basic Materials. I am weighted 11.5% Technology with CSU,ESL, MDA, and SYZ. 16% energy with VET, PEY,and BDI. VET and BAD are over just over 8% because of gains and split. My Basic Materials weight is 9% with G and RUS. Should I be reducing Energy to increase Basic Materials and Technology? My other weightings seem in line.
Would appreciate your comments. Regards Kathy

Q: Hi Peter and 5I Team;
Would you please share an opinion on Western Zagros (WZR), considering the latest results release? There seems to be good prospects for the future, but how long into the future? Would it be better to wait until there is production before investing? Do you also have an opinion on the huge amount of outstanding shares?
Thank You

Q: Hello Team
I would appreciate your opinion on IMO now. Past opinion was just OK. I read today that Ford Equity sees it as a strong buy but what would you say? I own it (4.8%) but want to sell it to buy FLOT or XHY (I want some U.S. exposure). I have bought SGY and own Enbridge and Fortis (Utilities but are they considered energy partly?)
thanks for all you do

Q: Hi, could you please comment on the new news release on Spartan? Does this now justify the current share price and leave room for growth, or do you still see the price getting ahead of the company and think there will be consolidation?

I would appreciate knowing if holders of the Baytex Recipts BTE.R when converted to BTE at the end of June 2014 will receive dividends back to when the receipts were paid for or will the holders only start receiving monthly dividends when the conversion take place? Thanks for the excellent reporting you are doing.

Q: Natural Gas producers like Peyto and Painted Pony have had a really good run of late. Do you feel there is still a fair bit of upside?

What are the leading factors that drive natural gas exploration and producing stocks? Is it more than just the unit price of the product? Do you feel location of the primary production plays a part? i.e. Sask. vs. NW BC etc.

Thanks for such a great service!

Phil

Q: Hi Peter and Staff. I visit your site daily and ask questions rarely because so much is covered in other members questions and in your answers and reports. This is a general question re cash flow. How is it calculated? For example if a small oil company in Alberta was doing 20 000 BOE daily and oil was priced at $90 and they had a net back of $40 with 200 million shares out, how would their cashflow be calculated. (I assume netback means what they clear after costs). Thank you for your valuable service. Joe

Q: I am way under water on ECA , because I own a lot of it which was bought at the peak . As you know the market doesn't care what I paid .
Do you know if PrairieSky Royalty ( an initial public offering form Encana ) is going to erode ECA stock value ? This could get bloody - It appears that we should be lining up for PrairieSky Royalty and dumping Encana ...
