Q: What was the fundamental reason(s) for Gibson Energy's slow decline to ~ 1/3 its value from sep 2014 to Jan 2016 and are those reasons still true today? It still pays a fairly hefty dividend of ~7% but is it safe and by that I mean is there a danger of the stock taking another relentless dive down?

Q: Good Morning. Would like your assessment of Gibson's recent earnings report along with your current opinion of this company and the "safety" of its dividend. Also, any comments you might have in regard to the oil space in general in light of recent reports about the drastically improving metrics for solar energy, and therefore long term pressure on fossil fuels as the primary energy source. Thank you.

Q: Hi: I am sitting with 5.10% of my portfolio in VNR and 3.99% of my portfolio in GEI. Wondering if it is a good idea to sell some VNR thereby reducing the holdings to 3.19% and buy GEI raising my holdings in this stock to 5.80%. By making this move I can increase my income by $1.00 a day over the present. Thank You.

Q: I'm exploring the possibility of a half position in GEI. Where does Gibson go from here? Is the company in a position to pick up quality assets during this time of consolidation because of low oil prices? Is there any reason why the dividend will be reduced in the short term?

Many thanks, and keep up the good work,
EOS

Q: I realize these are all in different sectors but,all have 8% plus dividends; for an RSP account. Diversification not an issue.Which in your view do you like the best and has the best up side as well as maintaining its dividend, mid to long term.

Q: I currently own Gibson Energy in a locked in RRSP at an average price of $25.00.

My time frame is 10+ years to hold before I convert to a Life Income Fund (similar to a RRIF).

Is it better to:

1 - do nothing and collect the current yield (5.28 %) and wait for recovery in share price.
2 - slowly buy new units at current prices and bring my average price down and increase yield.
3 - sell and reinvest in other companies in the energy infrastructure field (KEY, PPL, IPL, ALA)

Thank you for excellent service.
