Q: Is Enervest Diversified Income Fund (eit.un) a reasonable low-to-moderate risk income alternative for a tax-sheltered account?

It has a high-yield (about 9% right now); however, the income is produced variously by the use of leverage; a share price that generally trades at a large discount (8-10%) to NAV; capital gains selling and the non-cash monthly drip program.

Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter: In terms of Mart Resources, your former colleagues at Sprott-Allan Jacobs and Peter Imhoff-have recently added MMT to their portfolio. I've including some of what Peter had to say when he made it a top pick on BNN 29/12/11.

"Oil/gas producer in Nigeria and producing about 5000 BOE's and their net backs are between $40 and $45. Earned $20 million in Q3. Expect they will be ramping up their production. Just announced that the pipeline is going to be expanded so will be able to produce more so expects that in Q1 and Q2 production will increase quite a bit. Extremely cheap. Now analysts are following this. Expecting a special dividend followed by regular dividend next year."

Q: Hi. Perhaps you could add McCoy Corp (MCB.TO) to your list of potential reports because I would like to get your opinion on it. They manufacture equipment for the energy services sector and it looks interesting to me because it pays a dividend and their earnings seem to be good. I think you mentioned somewhere you were concerned about the sustainability of dividends on small cap energy service stocks. Do you think this falls into that category and should I be concerned about a dividend cut? Is there any upside here?

Thanks,
Anthony
