Q: Hi Peter and company. I would like a look into these as we head into tax loss season. I am interested in your analysis in these holdings... JOY,WRG. I spoke to management about the dividend in JOY but I do not trust the answer I received. Your thoughts... If I could impose these two I recently purchased for catalyst's in the near term... POE, MMT... I read many things on these company's from a variety of sources but they lack your honesty with NO BIAS.
Thank you as always Jason

Q: Just for clarification purposes:

If you sell a stock at a loss in a non-registered account the superficial loss rule applies to all accounts, registered and non-registered.

If you sell a stock at a loss in a registered account the superficial loss rule DOES NOT apply. One can buy that stock back in any account, registered or non-registered.

Thanks for your confirmation or clarification.

Q: I hold Baytex in my TFSA. If I sell, I cannot claim any capital loss in this account. With COS cutting their dividend, I'm starting to think Baytex will be next, and then go down even more? What do you recommend - sell and replace with a better energy stock with a brighter future and better chance of recovery - or hang in for the long term with Baytex?
Thank you.

Q: Dear Team - could you please give us your thoughts on Mart? Two very significant and positive NR's were released and a 3rd should come before Christmas on the closing on OML 18. The stock is still down YTD and things have never looked better for the company. Thanks for you feedback.

Q: I want to buy RCL, but it keeps going up. Is it getting too expensive to buy now?

Q: Hi Peter and Team, this is about the news that COS would be cutting its quarterly dividend by nearly 43 per cent. I have made a quick calculation, and based on the closing price of today of $10.98, the new yield would be of about 7%. Does my calculation make sense? If yes, is it okay to buy COS shares at this price? Thanks, Gervais

Q: Peter, so many questions around energy stocks. Let me ask questions around your daily routines from the time you wake up till you go to bed :). Do you check the futures market when you wake up and before you go to bed, listen to BNN or CNBC during the day, go thru Bloomberg see commodity prices, check out stocktwits, read broker research reports, etc..Just want to find out what you daily routines are with regard to stock markets. Thanks.

Q: http://www.stockhouse.com/companies/bullboard/t.cos/canadian-oil-sands-limited?postid=23197193

Mr. Hodson, at the risk of annoying you, I am providing this analysis with respect to Canadian Oil Sands (COS), which goes along with yours, and maybe further (as it is backed by actual buying of the stock). Was today's price a 35-65% discount and are reserves to last 90 years ? Do you foresee oil and COS substantially higher within the next year ?

Again, this is a private question, but feel free to let other members view your response if you think this is useful ?

Q: Hello,
With what is happening in the oil sector, can you list a few names that you would buy and hold for 5 year plus. I can take some risk (ok with smaller cap) and i don t need dividend. Also, please fell free to add names in other sectors if you feel they are treated unfairly. My approach would be to buy half now and the rest mid january. Thank you.

Q: On the oil getting whacked theme, have you guys looked a PRE today? Down to $8.20. They are forecasting the following:
A base case average WTI oil price assumption of $70.00/bbl during the year and the 2014 average Brent-WTI benchmark price differential.
Oil price realization is expected to average to approximately the WTI benchmark price assumption.
EBITDA of $1.9 to 2.1 billion and Funds Flow (Cash Flow) of $1.45 to $1.55 billion.

So the company is currently trading at just over 1X EBITDA and 1.5X Cash Flow. They do have debt on the balance sheet but at low rates strategically and are long term. Unless oil stays well below $70 for a very long time valuations like this seem crazy. What am I missing?
