Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, PetroGirl and Eric Nuttlall are always arguing as to who was right and wrong about theses stocks and targets for them and the price of oil. Can you give us your unbiased opinion on these and if you wouldn't mind rating them from best to worst and which you might buy if you were interested in an oil stock. Thanks for your much valued view. Nick
Q: What is your take on the quarterly results for Surge Energy (SGY) released earlier this week? The market didn’t seem too keen on it as the price dropped below 5.00/sh.
Q: Taking on Fire Sky's debt. What's your thoughts on this new acquisition? Is the income of this new Surge in any better position to service their debt? Can they return to a dividend paying company any sooner with this new acquisition?
In what scenario does this ever get back to it's glory days before the oil fallout years ago? I have owned this for sometime in a TFSA and wondering if I should just keep holding due to not being able to harvest tax loss or take the loss and move the proceeds into something else in a different industry where over time I could recoup the loss.
Q: What exactly is holding Surge back from participating in rising oil prices? You would think their debt load and hedges and perhaps just the entire oil industry being out of favour are so yesterdays news. Looking forward for Surge, do you still see a viable company?
Q: I own GXE, ATH, BTE and SGY. . With outlook for Oil going higher $ 80.00 plus which is the best play of the four. Please rank. Should I buy more of your number one pick. I watch Erik Nutall on BNN . He is very optimistic on Oil Price going higher RAK
Q: Do you think Surge Energy's latest acquisition, improved credit situation and increased production is positive for the share price? How many shares does Paul Colborne the President, own? He bought a ton at higher prices but hasn't lately at a lower valuation.
Finally, how much of a headwind are their hedges? I thought this stock would rocket at today's oil prices while acknowledging it's rise from 15 cents?
Thanks.
Q: Thank you for your reply regarding my question on what to watch for in terms of a return to paying dividends by these two companies. There does not appear be a "Cash Flow" or "Free Cash Flow" item among the Key Data status provided for these companies. I do see a Price to Cash Flow and Price to Free Cash Flow but I'm not sure how to interpret these data points in terms of continued paying a dividend or, in the case these companies, a return to paying dividends. If Cash Flow is a key to payment of dividends is there any chance Cash Flow can be added to the data to all those dividend paying companies listed?
Q: These 2 companies paid a dividend prior to the Covid Collapse. In the case of American Hotel there is some indication of a possible return to dividend payments by Dec 2021 but it's not clear if Surge Energy will return to paying a dividend. Do you think these companies will return to paying dividends again, and if so, what should I be watching for to give me an idea of how long it will take to return to paying dividends.
