Q: Hello Peter et al,
I am still holding the Tuckamore Debs TX.DB.B. They mature Mar 2016 and are supposedly secured. Insiders own about 15% of the common stock and I thought their holdings would go to zero if necessary to pay off secured debt. But with the debs trading at about 80 there appears to be a fly in the ointment. Any thoughts as to what Mar. 2016 might bring.

Q: You may have read the Barrons article of a few days ago. I would think it may have contributed to the further weakness of the SP. It sounds like a bit of a hatchet job but do you consider it has much merit? I currently own 600 shares at an average cost of $41, and although I still like the stock, think it might be prudent to sell half in case of further weakness or a prolonged sideways slide. What would you do? It is still just 5% of my portfolio. I continue to berate myself for falling in love with companies. Thanks.

Q: I keep wondering if exchanging these 3 increasingly weakening positions for alternate positions with more optimistic horizons might be a more prudent move. What sage advice might your team have? As well, are you holding steady with Whitecap? I have difficulty in seeing the oil market with any upside over the next couple of years....

Thanks

Q: Can you please take a look at this company. Could you tell me what your views are based on the most recent contracts awarded and the backlog. Looking at the charts and financials this company looks less expensive than many other in the sector. If the current price looks expensive to you, could you share what metrics you would look at for selecting a purchase price. Thank you Jason N.

Q: UA recently posted earnings of $0.12 per share (down 14%)and revenues that were up 27% both on a 6 month basis. Guidance is that revenues for this year (2015) should grow 25% and operating income 14-15%. Last year earnings for the year were 0.95 so making a big assumption that EPS will grow also at 14% puts their P/E ratio at about $95/(0.95 x 1.14) ~ 88 !! Seems crazy high to me considering the stock is up over 7% today on the news. Am I looking at this right or is there some hidden value I'm not seeing? Thanks for your help as always.

Q: At $20 Crescent Point seems pretty beaten up. Even given the dividend and oil price risk do you view it as a pretty solid buy right now?
