Q: Was listening to bnn today and the analyst made me relook at my dividend paying oil and gas stocks. How would you rank the four of them? And if you think there is a better choice, which one? Not including the majors though.

Q: I have a question about 3092.

Hey Peter:
What is your viewpoint on VLE action in the last month. It was as high as 3.50 and is now below a $1. Is it worth buying more to lower the cost as they have no debt and some say $60M in cash. I saw it dropping due to the political issue with Turkey but they said that has no impact where they are located. Appreciate your viewpoint?

Q: After reading your most recent comments on the TSGI/FLTR transaction, I checked with my broker about the possibility of selling FLTR after the transaction closes in Q3 2020. My broker doesn't handle anything but CDN and USA stock exchanges. You've suggested that selling TSGI nearer the closing date (a year from now) might carry increased risk of share decline. That said, should I sell my $10k investment fairly soon, or sit and wait a while? Thanks.

Q: Concerning the 4 stocks that I own above - are they all cut from the same mold? It seems these and others in the same category are all down between 20 and 30% in the last 3 months according to the information Globe Investor supplies me. Is this the cause of investors panicking or is it something else? I watch BNN all the time and have heard things such as the S&P will be down another 10% within the next 6 months. Thank you. Dennis

Q: I've been sitting on Pan Orient for a few years now. I've suffered the oil blues during the sector meltdown but this one has done well this year at least. They've had a couple of recent oil discoveries on their Thailand concessions and are starting a new drilling effort for gas in Indonesia. I'm thinking they will soon be increasing their profit notably. Would you hold out for higher gains or dump and move on?
