Q: SGY or TOG - which company would you consider the least risky for a $5,000 position in a TFSA, or would both be too volatile for long-term savings? If both are considered speculative, can you recommend a small to mid-cap energy play that would produce long-term gains? Thanks!

Q: I'm currently holding Crescent Point Energy (CPG) and Whitecap Resources (WCP). Over the past year, I've done well on Whitecap but remained relatively flat with Crescent Point. I'm now considering moving out of one of these two names and into Surge Energy as I feel the shares of SGY represent better growth potential while, at the same time, offering a comparably attractive and secure dividend.
Your thoughts please.

Q: Hi from Burnaby--I have considered the possibility of Canada exporting oil thru BC or Eastern ports or via US Gulf ports--what would be the impact on income to our big and smaller oil/gas producers. What impact would this have on government revenues, and how soon could it be before exports started? (obviously rail will be the first way to get to the BC coast as the legal cases drag on). When do I time my purchases of oil companies. Bill

Q: In your December 6th reply to Lina about Peyto Exploration (PEY), you wrote the following:"It is clearly one of the better names out there, in our view. It is susceptible to weak gas prices, but we think it still has some decent potential."
It's Peyto's susceptibility to gas prices that has me concerned. Right now, because of the unusually frigid temperatures in North American, the price of natural gas is higher than it's been in years, and Peyto is benefiting from it. But it won't be long before warmer weather returns and Peyto will start to pull back. Adding downward pressure on its stock price will likely be the arrival of other producers who shut down their operations a few years ago and are now ready to return to the market place given the higher natural gas prices. If Peyto is sensitive to natural gas prices, which in turn is tied to the prevailing temperatures and the quantity being produced, would now be the time to lock in my profits?

Q: Hi Peter: Happy New Year. I held CEO since late 2009 in my RRSP as it had a nice growth profile and dividend. It's not going anywhere last 2-3 years. I wonder if I should continue to hold or replace it with, say,SU or another one in this sector?
Q: Has your opinion of CVE changed at all I the past few months? I have owned CVE for a couple of years and while I am above water, CVE has gone sideways for quite a while now. I also own CPG and PKI I this space. I am thinking of selling CVE and splitting the proceeds between PKI and CPG. Overall I have 28 stocks in my portfolio.
