Q: A number of analysts, such as Patricia Mohr and Don Coxe, see oil going down further over the next few months. (Don Coxe has an interesting analysis: Saudi Arabia wants to starve its enemies, the Shia states and ISIS of oil revenues.) What is your opinion on playing the decline in the oil price by investing in HOD for a few months? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Given the recent downturn in oil prices, I am looking for bottom-feeding opportunities. I would like to initiate a full position in the sector in a new investment account with a long term horizon (> 5 years). i'm thinking about a 1/3 position in each of oil sands, nat gas, and oil/gas services. What are you thoughts on this allocation, and what top name(s) would you suggest for each? Many thanks for a great service!!

Q: My question is why are you recommending stocks in the oil and gas space and infrastructure space to your members when the chart on oil has been going from the upper left to lower right, i understand you give the cavaet that these stocks could go lower still and there is carnage in this space, but why not just tell your membership to stand back. Isn't it always better to buy stocks on the way up rather than the way down.personally i sold all my oil and infrastructure stocks 6 weeks ago took a loss on all of them, bought companies in other spaces and made it all back plus plus. I just do not get it. Dave

Q: Hi Folks:
I was a fairly large stake holder in Oil Exco (oil) which I followed down to nothing (thanks largely to Bank of Scotland's failure). For quite some time I have ceased believing the commodity story, as I watched the old adage "nothing cures high prices like high prices" and human ingenuity at work. Consequently the only Canadian Energy company I now own is Vermilion (about 7% weight). Do you feel this company and other mid tiers have the financial power needed to survive and prosper with $50-$60 oil (or lower) as this price looks in the cards for some time, or should one move into a more stable sector. I am a long term holder of (CVX) Chevron (similar portfolio weighting). Thank you so much for your service....it is worth far more than you charge!!!

Q: Peter, I am in Div. Paying oil and gas and will stay. Question, Canadian dollar down 20 percent, Oil down 30 percent. Can one assume, or what is the correlation between the two. It would seem Div. cuts are not as sure as they were if the Canadian dollar was a dollar? The low dollar should very much help exporting industries???? Thanks Ken

Q: I have stock in Allergan. I understand that Actavis ACT.US has agreed to buy Allergan for $219 per share.

A Pershing- Valeant has sent a proxy to buy and replace Allergan directors.

I do not understand that if Allergan has been purchased by Actavis, why there is this proxy battle for Valeant still to buy Allergan. This was in the mail to-day

Q: The globe and mail lists a p/e on loblaw of over 2,000?.. Is is that overvalued? It is one of a few of my winners in my portfolio. Is it time to trim? I like the shoppers acquisition and the expansion of joe fresh but I have watched all my profits in other stocks disappear and wonder if the same will happen to loblaw with that kind of p/e.
