Q: Hello Peter and Team, and yes, another query on Energy stocks.
Could you assess the respective growth potential of the following stocks against each other, in the context of a long term hold? They would be: SGY,WCP,BTE,PHX,WRG and HWO In order to keep my Energy weighting in check, I would consider investing in the two best valued,of the five listed. Thanks as always for an invaluable service!

Q: Hello everyone,
I have a bit of cash hanging around and debating on either of the two above-mentioned stocks...I'm aware it's foolish to try and time the market; however, both stocks have an impending deadline for me:
1) ATD.b will drop, rise or flatline tomorrow based upon earnins report, hence the time factor;
2) SGy ex div is the 26th, once more the time factor...

Would like to know your input on both options.

cheers

Stu

Q: Do you think Surge Energy is worth holding at current levels given the risk of a dividend cut? I understand their hedging program but as investors continue to panic sell the yield has become noticeably high...knowing the company the way you do, what is your best advice. Much thanks as always, Curtis

Q: Hi,
Could you expand on your answer regarding your thoughts on the oil commodity backdrop. Charts are suggesting longer term high US $, a long US Stock cycle & a long down period for commodities. Meaning stocks like SGY, even though good on fundimentals might suffer from being in an "out of favor" sector & therefor have little upside. So your insight into how long you thing oil might be on a down cycle.

Q: I continue to be concerned about SGY because of the commodity price action in the background. I inquired late aug about same & you were strong on holding thru any correction. However I am hearing more talk of a long term US $ bull mkt which in the past has driven non commodity stock pricing upward & driven commodity pricing downward. Do you also now feel that we have entered a secular bear for commodity pricing & would that not push oil stocks like this out of favor regardless of dividend? Dividend is nice but 9%/yr pales with a 25% drop in a month.
Thx,

Q: Everything is getting hammered this week, but i do not understand the complete devastation in surge, if as you say the payout ratio is 65 per cent with oil at 90. Dollars, then at what point will surge have to cut there payout, now yielding over 9 per cent at a price of 6.60. It seems to me like this selling in surge is way over done, it is down at least 25 percent in less than a month. And why are insiders buying, they are getting killed. Dave

Q: Hi Team, As of writing this email, SGY (Surge Energy) has a yield of 7.9%.
Is that not to high? The share price needs to move up and we should be around a 5% div yield level which is closer to where most of the small-mid cap oil & gas dividend payers are. Could you enlighten me? Thanks,
