Q: Love the new format ... can you tell me if you think the negative news on Fracking (waste water) will have a positive effect on the price of oil and will these oil companies stock prices just hover with the price of oil? Thanks for all you do and especially AEM.
I currently own Freehold Royalties and was thinking to sell and switch to either WCP or RRX. I follow your BE portfolio and noticed that WCP is owned in it but not RRX - but RRX has been spoken of with quite high positivity. Which of the two would you own at this current time and do you think switching FRU into WCP or RRX would be a better way to play energy?
Q: I have been thinking of dipping my toes in a few energy stocks. On this list of 12 oil & gas stocks, how would you rate them from 1 to 12. RRX, TOG, KEL, PXT, WCP, CJ, NVA, CPG, PPY, SPE, ECA, BTE.
Q: Another inquiry, this one related to oil stocks.
Oil has improved significantly with some stocks appreciating more than others. While there is doubt that the oil rally would continue, would any (or all) of the stocks mentioned be investable, or would it be best to wait.
Thanks!
Q: As a follow-up to the earlier Whitecap comment, it's only fair to point out that the proceeds from the financing are being used for an acquisition. Whitecap had a Working Interest in the assets being acquired from Husky so it made very good business sense to opportunistically consolidate control of the property which will now be 90%. Also, a number of insiders also bought stock this month.
In preparing for the eventual oil recovery, what would be your top 3 names in the sector right now for capital appreciation and medium risk (i.e. survival during this down turn)? I assume WCP would be included since it is held in the model portfolio?
Q: I have almost no direct energy exposure except for 2% in a services firm with high recurring revenue. Of course, there is lots of indirect exposure through banks, industrials, etc. I am interested in wading in, mostly for a yield play with some growth, not looking for a ton of torque. I understand that no dividends are entirely safe in this environment. I was wondering if it is better to go for a mid-size E&P such as Whitecap or Cabot, a pipeline such as Interpipe, a services firm such as Gibson Energy, or a global giant such as Chevron? Generally my portfolio is diversified across geography, industry sector, and market cap. I would look for an initial half-position and prefer a yield above 4%. Which names would you recommend? Thanks as always!
Q: Good morning! I recently took a position in WCP, it went up for a couple of days and now it appears to be under attack! Any reasons you know of why this is happening?
Can you please provide your analysis on Whitecap Resources? What is their debt/cash flow? Can they survive with $30 WTI over the next Year? How does WCP stack up against CPG? Thank You!
