Q: I hold VET and PXT as my exposure to energy in a non registered account. (I also hold ENB and PPL but consider them more utility). I am thinking of replacing VET with WCP for the following reasons: 1) I get a big tax loss but keep my energy exposure the same. 2) I do not lose much on the dividend and, although I think it unlikely for both, VET is more likely to cut than WCP nad 3) if oil finally recovers, WCP has more torque. Does this make sense?

Q: The Globe published this, "Scotiabank analyst Ben Isaacson initiated coverage of MediPharm Labs Corp. with a “sector outperform” rating and $17 target. The average is $7.35."
This seems extreme. Do you know what the analyst's logic was? (or was it a typo somewhere along the way?)

Wouldn't rates need to go higher for these to really be a buy right now?
