Q: Hi there,

I am in a losing position with Cardinal on what is a small level of energy exposure in my portfolio. Do you think the dividend is safe or ripe for a cut? Also, the name has fallen considerably more than RRX, WCP etc. I understand that they have more heavy oil production which may weigh on the stock. If I wished to maintain energy exposure would you suggest switching to a different producer? If so, who? I also own Spartan.

Q: With oil down, what would be your top picks for a rebound when oil picks up, without being too leveraged? I was thinking of Cardinal, with its nice yield (do you think it will need to be cut?) I already have some Spartan, but it seems to be a well run company. Other choices that are on sale? Thanks.

Q: The only energy producer I currently hold is SU. I'm thinking of adding one more (non-oil sands) company and am considering WCP and CJ. I like CJ because of the larger dividend and the lower Debt/Book. I like WCP because it is a much larger company. I prefer companies with decent dividends and the ability to trade options. Which would you suggest or would you recommend a different company?

Thanks

Q: This is a question and a quick heads-up.
In your latest coverage summary (Jan 3), you continue to show Newalta as having a 10.8% dividend yield. I think they dumped the dividend a while ago.

My question is on Cardinal Energy. If oil continues a slow move up to $60USD in 2017, do you see Cardinal being a solid name to hold? Thanks!

Q: I only hold a 2% position and took it up in Feb at $5.90, are the concerns you have (I have read your views on this firm)changed given their quarterly results. I am very under weight the sector as a whole and am wondering if the results are good enough to add perhaps another 1%.They quote "We expect that if there is transparency to an oil price above $50 WTI (USA) that we will be able to present guidance showing double digit growth for 2017" Probable, possible or not likely? thanks

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor with a well balanced portfolio. I am considering a switch from CJ into PEY.

For background, I own full positions in ALA, AQN, FTS, TRP and half positions in WCP and CJ.

RBC has had an Outperform rating on CJ for several quarters, but it has been lagging. Should I give it more time?

Is PEY a better fit into my portfolio, for diversification of gas vs oil, small vs mid vs large cap, and consistent long term growth?

Thanks, Steve
