Q: Could you please give me your opinion on Elkwater, the strength of its balance sheet and its ability to grow production profitably with low energy prices. Do you have knowledge of where their properties are located and what price of oil would be necessary to keep the production going.
My current sector allocation is 9%. Do you think it is a good one to take a flyer on? The share price has gone down quite a bit and don't they have cash more than the company's current valuation? I would very much appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Do you reckon that AGF.B actions will help its share price in the long-term i.e.dividend cut from $0.27 to $0.08 for 2015 plus the Company intends to file to renew its share buyback program when the current program expires in February 2015.
I have been holding it for its dividend but now I am wondering whether I should bail out.
Price even lower today, after dividend cut announcement.

Q: Holy crow, MCR is going lower than I ever thought it would... so far,$1.65 today with no bottom in sight. I certainly feel foolish purchasing it at $6.30 last year. Have I missed some news? Is it time to get whatever nickels I can get from it now?

Q: Hi Peter
What are your thoughts on the recent swoon in the price of CP which I hold at a loss in a registered account? Is it all oil related or is something else going on? What are your thoughts on the valuation now and how would you compare it with CNR which has not declined to the same extent?
Thanks so much for helping us through these confusing markets!

Q: I can see no reason for the drop in price - I know the company has most assets in the west but I cannot believe they are going to lose much because of falling oil. What is your opinion of the company
Q: Hello Peter. I need your help. I have relatively small positions in the following oil stocks (all of which are down): BDI, WCP, BNK, QST and MCR.
I can hold on for the longer term but I need to know if any of these companies are not likely to survive this downward cycle. Are the balance sheets strong enough? I suspect QST is fine given it has no debt. You mentioned in responses to other questions that BDI also has a relatively good balance sheet and I note that insiders have been buying at BDI (based on Canadian Insider search). If you were going to add to any of the above names, which would you choose?
As always, thank you very much!

Q: Hi Peter and team, Your comments pls. on the offering of common stocks. They could only raise 21M....doesn't sound good at all, does it? Would you recommend getting rid of it. THX!
Q: is there some reason hcg has dropped? and is this a good time to buy some shares?
Q: Is there a point or set of circumstances where high insider ownership becomes a negative? I'm looking at EXO U (v.exo) that has some 45-50% ownership by the founders plus a CEO who is currently buying more aggressively on the open market.
Q: Could you please explain the "tax loss selling rule". The way I understand it if you have a non-registered account and you want to declare a tax loss for the year you have to make sure after you sell that you don't buy back the stock within 30 days of the sell. So my questions are:
1) What happens if you accidentally bought back within the 30 days?
2) Can you buy it back within 30 days if you have a profit & not a loss?
3) Can you always buy a stock back within 30days if you are in a registered account?
As always great service and thanks for the advice.
Cheers.

Q: Was the huge cut in the dividend done out of need to preserve cash or more from the point of view of sustaining the stock price? Should we expect large and fast dividend increases once the price of oil stabilizes and presumably increases?
Thanks for being a voice of reason in these times!

Q: I sold some CPG on Nov 17 and it settled on Nov 20. Just to confirm, so I don't trigger the 30 day superficial tax loss rule, the earliest I can repurchase CPG would be Dec 17. Am I correct?
Thanks,
Steve
