Q: I have an Athabaska bond (7.5% coupon; maturity 19-Nov-2017) that is currently trading below par. Given the news about the additional cash payment just received by ATH, it seems to me that they should easily be able to repay this bond upon maturity in just over two years.

Do you have any idea why this bond is trading below its par value? Is there a significant risk of default by Athabaska over such a short time period?

Thanks!

Q: I know your preference is to buy the strength and momentum and I do have a lot of those 5i names, but the I can't help but look at some of the beaten up oil companies. Companies like LTS, LEG, LRE, etc. all have so much debt and Athabasca Oil has none. Production may go up 3 or 4 fold in the next 18 months, $300 million still coming their way, and their market was only $695 million this morning. For a speculative play, do you see more potential than most small caps.

Now that the 1st Nation has withdrawn their objections and the
Alberta govt has approved the infusion of capital from Chinese company, would you see a better future and perhaps in the near future, possibility of a dividend?
The shares actually have done down abit, wonder if people are
taking profits ? Thanks

Q: Hello wonderful 5i team,

I would appreciate your input on Athabasca Oil (ATH). It had a nice spike today in price. Did they settle with the First Nations on the Dover project? Do you think thre company still has some up potential and would it be better to hold on and ride the momentum? This stock represents 5% of my portfolio. Originally purchased at $6.40. Thanks.
