Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I own twelve oil and gas stocks in a $2.5 million portfolio as listed above. My advisor recommends selling the first seven stocks on the list and adding to the last five positions. I'm primarily interested in capital gains with dividends being a secondary consideration. Would you recommend selling any of the first seven stocks? If so, what gas and oil stocks would you choose as replacements? Thanks for your advise.

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.
