Q: I recently made a switch out of HWO into BIR, as I am of the mindset that BIR should do well (better than HWO) in the upcoming months because of potential bottle-necking of supply of oil in the upcoming months (this theory was mentioned by Josef Schachter on a recent BNN appearance), as well as BIR's current price being discounted significantly from book value. My question is if I should consider starting a new position in HWO at some point in the future, because if the theory about bottle-necking of supply proves to be accurate, then a company such as HWO would benefit as demand for drilling new wells would increase in response. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: 2 part question. 1. Listening to Nutell and Schacter on BNN and they are continually talking about the next cycle in energy and how a lot of the Cdn. Energy stocks have been beaten up and now is the time to buy these things and hold them for 3 or 4 years for significant gains. Acknowledge these guys are talking up their own books but do you agree with the thesis and if so, do you view more upside in natural gas or oil? 2. If you agree with the thesis, what do you think of the suggested companies? Also thinking on investing in a basket of 5 rather than an individual stock to lessen the risk. Do u agree? Thx

Has spread for Canadian oil deteriorated compared to normal levels?

Q: I own Birchcliff and at a loss currently. Debating to average down and make it a 5% holding in a diversified portfolio. I do own tourmaline which is 1% and it is down as well. So far my bet on NG is not working but if i hold on to the survivors things should turn around. Is Birchcliff worth the risk at a 5% holding assuming it can last on current prices of NG.

Q: Happy new years to you guys at 5iresearch!!! I hold positions in all of these and they have been dogs for about a year now. I am a fairly long term investor and I am wondering when I am going to see some up side to these as the oil sector seems to be recovering. Or would you suggest to let them go? Thanks for your time
