Q: Dear Peter and Team,
On Jan15 you answered that debt for the pony is more than 6x cash flow.
from their website for Q3 cash flow for 9 mos was 79.5 mil-and is likely
100mil/year. Debt-bank debt93.8m-plus senior notesof 141.4m plus convertible debt of 44.6m adds to 279.8mil. Total net debt with working capital deficit is $336mil. This is all at trough natural gas prices. Production now is over 60kboe/d versus 42,353boe/d during Q3/17.
They do not plan on adding more debt in 2018. What am I missing?
Thanks for your help.
BEN.

Q: I have held Crew for years in the 6.00 range so I am down substantially. In the past six months or so it has risen to over $5:00 only to do a complete reversal
Back to the $2.70 range. I thought it was going to break out or be bought out . Is it time to move on?
Would you move on if you were still managing money with this company in your portfolio. Always hear about good management who have done it all before
And they sold some Montney assets and it trades a lot but never gets out of the barn.

Q: Hi,

5i talks alot about "momentum" behind stocks. Increasing volume + increasing price = good situation.

Are there one or two indicators you recommend to monitor momentum? I'm thinking of things like the True Strength Index, On Balance Volume, Williams Accumulation/Distribution, etc. I might be way of, but am hoping to use one or two that I can review to assess where an equity might be going.

Thanks,

Cam.

Q: I own Birchcliff and at a loss currently. Debating to average down and make it a 5% holding in a diversified portfolio. I do own tourmaline which is 1% and it is down as well. So far my bet on NG is not working but if i hold on to the survivors things should turn around. Is Birchcliff worth the risk at a 5% holding assuming it can last on current prices of NG.

Q: I’ve been very impressed with you guys on bnn as as well as direction and opinions to questions asked here. Very pleased with your suggestions and commentary. I just sold vee at a substantial profit.
I’ve moved in a more conservative direction. Really don’t need to make a lot of money just keep what I’ve got. Maybe some additional income to supplement my pensions etc. I now have over 30% of my portfolio in cash. I can’t seem to find a good value play. I have enough preferred shares. Don’t like gics or bonds.

Q: Morning,

The stocks mentioned are examples of Canadian stories that remarkable runs in recent years. PHO had an amazing 2017 and obviously CXR made those who sold high a ton of money. Same with CRH. Question is, for 2018, can you name 3 Canadian stocks that may be under the radar but could emerge as darlings once better known? Specific interest would be in stocks with proven assets or concepts more so than those waiting for a stroke of luck like a drug approval or patent.

Thanks!

Q: Hi there,

I haven't seen any coverage of this until something on a popular investment site the other day. LAS.A has gone from $80 to $256 in 5 years but seems to be completely unknown. It was just touted as a great growth stock for the next year. Does it offer value at $250/share? Any catalysts for growth to continue? Finally, Buy, sell or hold and why?

Thanks!
