Q: I am a new member and must say I really enjoy your site. My question is specifically on short positions on companies. Legacy (LEG) has 34 million shares short out of 157 million float or 21% shares shorted. Is this a high percentage for a company and should this be one of several factors to consider when making an investment decision? Thanks!

Q: I was wondering what your opinion is on Pengrowth Energy and Parallel Energy Trust. I own 1051 shares of PLT.UN and enrolled in the DRIP. It is 7.05 % of my RRSP account. I own 1061 shares of PGF in my RRSP and enrolled in th DRIP. It is 10.72 % of my RRSP. I am underwater on both stocks. I always think about selling them but never do. What do you rate this two stocks, Buy, Sell or hold?? If I sold them would CPG be a good option? Thanks

Q: Trinidad Drilling TDG is currently off by 5.11%, apparently in response to Raymond James downgrading from outperform to strong buy, while raising the target to $11.75 from $11.25. Can or should a brokerage cause such a strong negative reaction in the market, or is there something else going on? Add more at this time??

Q: Hi Peter/5i Team,
Finally sold my CPG and wish to replace it with VET. Do you think that 1/2 position now at $56.77 and another 1/2 position later (hopefully during a pullback) is a good strategy? My wife has TOU in her RRSP (Thank you!) but I don't have any other O/G in mine at the present. Thanks in advance and enjoy Europe.

Q: Thanks Peter and group for the valuable information you provide. What are your thoughts on Strategic Oil & Gas (SOG)? I own a position from earlier this year when the share price was 20% higher. It has since been on a gradual decline, and I am thinking of taking a loss and move on. Is there any reason to think that it might recover anytime soon?

Q: I have owned Crescent Point CPG since 2008. I have been happy with the gains I originally made along with the nice monthly dividend. I think it is time to sell it given the rather poor performance that last few years. What would you suggest to replace it in this space? I don't have any other oil producers in my portfolio, just some pipelines. Joe

Q: Hi Peter - I would be interested in your opinion on Cabo Drilling (CBE). It has been languishing in the 4 to 5 cents range for some time now but seems to have potential: a book value of 0.31, current ratio of of 2.4, some insider trading and not overly diluted for a penny stock at 79 million shares. The debt to capital ratio is 22% and am just wondering if this is a concern. Anyways I would be glad to hear your view on the possible upside of this stock. Thanks.

Q: Last night I received an email from Peyto Energy advising that they are the subject of a legal action by some shareholders of their most recent acquisition. I have owned Peyto for a number of years and have been more impressed with management with each passing year. I am sure their due dillegence was better than most but I am always reminded of Lowen Group when it comes to these things. Have you any thoughts or insights on this kind of situation generally, or this one in particular?
Thanks
Mike

Q: Hi Peter, we had MMT before you exposed the stealing of the pipeline company. This time is a little bit more. Under such condition, is it possible to value it? Your previous replies are extremely educational and helpful.
