Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter and Team. Do you think the dividend will be sustainable for BDI? If so, it might not be a bad one to hold for an eventual recovery.

Q: Hi there,
I'm curious about something. You don't have many good things to say about Black Diamond Group as an investment, but it's still rated as a 'B' in your latest Coverage Summary, dated April 3rd. A 'B' rating is equal to, or better, than other companies you do recommend. I'm confused by this.
Could you please clear this up?
Thanks!

Q: I am significantly down in my RSP in these two companies and was wondering if they are still a hold. I cannot sell for a loss but will be converting to a RIF soon, so it might be time to move on to a better dividend growth stock?? (same sector ??)
Peter

Q: Analyst estimates do not look favorable on this company. Is it a sell or given that I am down significantly should I hold and hope they can do something with their latest deal.

Q: Hello,

Was this company removed from your portfolio?

Thanks

Q: Hi,I don't see a report on these companies since 2015, are you working on an updated report? Also I thought there was a report on GUD and HWO but they are not coming up on my symbol search. I could of sworn there was one on GUD. Thanks for all your help, I like how the reports are more detailed.

Q: I am so far under water on BDI that I am tasting mud, and a little bit underwater on PD. I am thinking about taking the loss on BDI and dumping whatever pennies I get back into PD as a means to tidy up my portfolio. (I also own small positions in VET, WCP, and SGY - all under water as well.) Does this seem like a reasonable approach for someone with a reasonably long time horizon and a belief that the world is going to need oil for quite a few years yet - even if only as a feedstock for other processes?

Thanks - and congrats on the new baby. Exciting times in at least one 5i household!

Q: Hi 5i team,

I am currently underwater on BDI can you comment on the recent news below and whether I should continue to hold. If you prefer to wait until 4th quarter results tonight please do so.

Thank you

Q: Hi,
I have a few thousand dollars to put into something looking for high potential growth. I have many years I can wait, don't need income (but all drips available are being utilized). Without considering portfolio weightings which of these would you consider to have the most upside? I'm totally ok with risk, as I have the well balanced, safer part of my portfolio in place. If not any of these could you offer a few other names please. If you like the names I've listed could you rank them in order of preference for high growth?

Thanks!

Q: Hello,

Any particular reason the stock drop off a cliff today? Buy on weakness or a failing knife?

Thanks

Q: BDI dropped 6% today cant find any news. Is it a good time to add to.

Q: What are your thoughts on these? With more pipelines likely going through under Trump, pipeline service/camp companies will likely have a great upside. Is here something similar that you would recommend instead? Which of these do you prefer since I think they're fairly similar (correct?)

Thanks!

Q: THe weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal reported that US oil producers have issued 2017 budgets that call for dramatically greater spending to tap new wells. Can you suggest some Canadian companies, small mid or large cap that may experience a direct material benefit?

Q: Hello

What are your thoughts on the energy services sector? What 3 stocks would you recommend in order of preference?
Thanks
Amy

Q: Which stock has the greater upside in your opinion ? Thanks.

Q: Good morning,

I have been following BDI for a while. I know that they have raised money for a price higher than the current stock price. Also, they have serious debt to take care off and have cut their dividend twice already. Last Monday, they introduced a Drip program for dividend payout. Is this good news or bad news? Explain to me what the drip program will do the share price and how it will affect the current shareholders?

Thank, you

Paul

Q: I want to sell Black Diamond for a tax loss against a gain in some of my CSU but I don't want to miss out on any rally in oil services stocks. Can you recommend anything I can replace it with?

Q: Hello 5I team.
I have positions in both BDI Black Diamond and HWO High Artic Energy. My average cost for BDI is $17.98 and the average cost for HWO is $3.75. Both positions are worth between $5k-10K and are part of my energy services portion of the portfolio. I am considering my options presently in regards to consolidating to one name or adding (3K) to either one. I am traditionally a long term holder and I am thinking I would like to bring down the cost of my BDI shares but maybe HWO is a better choice overall? Please advise me what you might do in this matter.
Thanks Jeremy
