Q: The following is a statement taken from an article written by Claudia Cattaneo in the Financial Post on Sept. 18, 2014. "Orange Capital LLC, a New York-based fund, has built a position in Calgary-based Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. It wants the midsized producer to explore strategic alternatives including a sale, look at the size and composition of its board, and a possible IPO or sale of the company’s midstream assets". What is meant by 'midstream assets'?

Q: I have about 10% of my portfolio in reits and another 10% in energy. Seeing the possibility of an imminent rise in interest rates, I'm considering selling my car.un, (about 3%,) and buying an integrated oil co. such as HSE or another name you might suggest with the proceeds. I already own SGY and CPG. I prefer some growth along with a decent dividend.

Thank you for this service.

Q: Hello 5i Team
I would appreciate knowing if holders of the Baytex Recipts BTE.R when converted to BTE at the end of June 2014 will receive dividends back to when the receipts were paid for or will the holders only start receiving monthly dividends when the conversion take place? Thanks for the excellent reporting you are doing.

Q: Good morning,

I have been watching both the Baytex common and receipt, where the price differential seems to increasingly favour purchase of the receipt given the discount as well as the accrual of dividends.( assuming closure of the Aurora acquisition by June) Looking for your insights this observation.

Many thanks

Q: BTE..r and yesterday's question. My understanding is that when the deal closes BTE.r will have accumulated but unpaid dividends attached. So BTE.r already has $0.22 attached that will be paid at the close. This in the NR announcing the close of the financing but is not in the initial NR about financing.

Q: Good afternoon 5i.
I have held CPG for several years now and while I have waited patiently for some upward movement in stock price, it continues to hover around the high $30's to $40 range. I am underwater by $2-3. I know from your comments to others that you are not a big fan of CPG. I am thinking of switching to BTE. I wouldn't give up much in yield, and I am thinking that there may be some good futurestock price value from the recent shale oil acquisition in Texas.
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this before I proceed. Brian

Q: Hello,
In the energy sector of my portfolio (12% weight), I hold CPG, FRU, KEY, TOU and VET. I'm considering adding BTE to the mix; on the + side, a great strategic acquisition (product and geography) and a nice yield while I wait; but on the - side, financing digestion issues.
Your thoughts?

Q: I just joined as a member today and like what I see so far.I'm considering buying BTE or WCP to round out my holdings of resource stocks. I like both of these companies for their dividend and growth prospects. I'm interested in hearing your comments. I plan to buy one or the other. Do you have a preference? Thanks.
