Q: Baytex BTE is my worst performer in my oil & gas sector portfolio. What is your assessment of the management? Is it a quality company? Will it be able to survive this down cycle? Assuming $70 WTI by the end of the year, will it outperform most other well known oil & gas stocks in Canada? I.e. Does it have good leverage to the price of oil? Or is this a value trap and should now be sold?

Q: While I am very overweight oil & gas producers I am not concerned as I bought several of these at under $1 which explains the overweight position. However, I do have capital losses on BTE and that got me thinking that maybe I should consolidate into the 3 best if I can manage the large capital gains tax. Would MEG, TVE and WCP be your choice? My only concern would be VRN which is currently a 7 bagger and I'd have to do that over time. Any comments or concerns with this or should I just continue to hold all. I do have a very large, diversified portfolio.

Q: With the uncertainty of Trump how do you feel about the oil/gas companies. Specifically CVE, ATH, MEG, BTE. Is it time to buy sell or hold.

Q: Baytex dropped in excess of 7% today. While I expect there's more than one question on it, it'd be great to get your take on this. They announced their capital budget yesterday and it appears to be a story of moderate growth pushing out their debt target date to 2028. I am a bit surprised by the magnitude of the decline if this is the root cause and wondering if there is more to the story.

Please provide your read on the decline and whether this presents a buying opportunity, or should one move on from the company to better opportunities?

Thanks as always.

Q: DEAR 5-I:
Thanks for the information on Parex, however, there was a second part to the question. If I dispose of Parex because it is doubtful if the political situation will improve in the near term- what could you suggest for a replacement, CNQ-? already own a full position in Suncor, ARC, Baytex, Tourmaline, and TVE. How about Peyto?

Thanks, Ben

Q: Hi Guys
Quite surprised Baytex has dropped $1 off share price in the last month off what seemed to be an already discounted share price.. Any insights into why it is off so much versus other Oil and Gas companies? Also Baytex always is in the top ten traded stocks on the TSX each day. Any idea what that is? does it attract more speculators?

Thanks

Q: Hi Guy,

Just wanted to get your thought on Eric Nutall's take on the oil market on BNN yesterday.

He believed that more specialized companies (top picks were BTE, CPG, PD) were more promising than generalized companies like CNQ and ENB.

I value your opinion and would be happy to spend more points for a more detailed answer., especially on CNQ and CVE.
