Q: Hi 5i,

Sometimes the market over-punishes a company, creating an excellent buying opportunity. Another factor could include a company with a poor communications strategy (doing well, just not communication the results well).

I mentioned Wi-Lan as perhaps the recent legal processes are being over-emphasized.

However, my question is, with the above themes, as of today do you have a few high quality income or growth companies (5 or 6) that are being over-punished, due to the current market conditions (and could be characterized as low-risk bargains). I am currently adding to my portfolio in small increments (not knowing when the bottom will arrive).

Thanks so much for great service.

Q: I noticed Statoil is still declining while other oil majors are flat or bouncing today. What is your opinion on this company? I have a small position less than 1% of my portfolio. Should I hang on or cut losses? Is the dividend safe? It seems like its not afforded out of free cash flow.

Q: This is a very small company(I thus appreciate it is very risky). However, they have been around quite a while, have weathered a number of 'storms', and just released what seemed to me to be very good numbers. I have not been able to find out how much debt they may be carrying. I last asked about them in July and would much appreciate any updated information/opinion you may now be able to supply.
Thanks as always.

Q: Peter et al,
The market is looking a little better today. Energy(CPG, BTE & SGY) constitute 20% of my portfolio. With some bargains out there, I am considering adding White Cap. I thought of adding more BTE but decided to diversify a little bit. Your comment on that, pls.
Also my wife has almost nothing but cash in her portfolio so I am trying to persuade to consider BTE. Could you recommend that to her (who is extremely conservative)?

Q: I have a position in Ithaca that I intend to hold until they start production from the GSA deposit. That hopefully will be mid 2015. If that happens they are supposed to more than double their production to about 26000boe. They have about 50% of current production hedged at $102 until mid 2016. They claim to be on schedule and appear to be well financed. My question is about todays trading. For much of the day the stock was even or up a few cents. In the last hour or so one broker seemed to sell off a position and most of the trades had a symbol beside them and if you checked the expression MOC Trade appeared. I have never seen that before and wondered if you knew what it means. Thanks for any help. Joe

Q: This looks to be a good value and high dividend stock. Would this be a safe buy around this time

Q: Hello,

From your model and /or income portfolio can you name a few stocks which look even more attractive from a value perspective after the recent correction. I would like to invest about $10000 with a 2 year time frame in an investment account with a growth focus (some dividents would be great too).

Also I am hoping Peter and Ryans talks at the Moneyshow would be posted on this site. Thanks. Regards, Shyam

Q: Would you consider this a good time to buy FM in view of the article in the globe that states a "heightened level of risk" from a possible decline in copper prices following Zambia's decision on Friday to raise royalties for open pit copper mines to 20% from 6%." The price still appears to be going down.

thank you,

Q: Hello Team,

Can we please get your outlook on the tanker/shipping industry, specifically DHT Holdings and Tsakos Energy (recommended at Canaccord). Frontline (FRO) had a good bounce from the March 2009 lows and I am wondering if that kind of reaction can be expected from these two names. What do you think of their debt levels and prospects. Finally, from a sector weighting point of view, would they be associated to the energy sector.

Thanks,

BK

Q: Hello,

Leg is below $5.00 now and I got into it a few days ago. I wanted to take advantage of these low prices. I was told leg hedged a lot of their oil, is this true? Is leg a good entry point at these levels. This is my only energy position. When will all this oil volatility madness end?

Q: Hi Team,

I have held off buying Apple, Blackrock and Google for the past month or so...a good decision in light of the recent sell-off. Do you think it would be a decent time now to lag into positions of all 3? Or if you had to pick just 2 or 1 which one would you choose.

Thanks
