Q: Hi Peter and team. I would like you your take on ZAR. I was quite impressed with their presentation at the Sept 12 Peters event. They seem to have some good capability in enhanced oil recovery.

Q: Today, the WTI price is 86$ per barrel or so. I believe you are confident the price of oil is more likely to be over 100$ in a not too distant future. If that is so, how can that be reconciled with the current glut of oil, and what scenario do you see ahead ? Also, WTI is a standard not always achieved with the current quality of Canadian crude. Canadian Western Select crude is sold at a much lower price, while light oil crude or synthetic crude are usually much closer to the WTI price. Which Canadian oil producers are likely to fare better in such environment ?

Q: I've read your report about FCR and it looks like a very good company. I'm looking to buy it. On one hand it looks like an excellent time to buy right now as the RSI is around 30, on the other hand it seems to be in a downtrend for the last couple of months. What is your opinion on whether or not this is a buy right now. BTW, love the site, very informative, I just hope you don't run out of patience answering these crazy questions all day!

Q: Good morning, Peter:
I have a couple of big losers in my RRSP account. I think they may have bottomed out as there has been little change in their share prices for the past several weeks. I am reluctant to sell them because I can't claim a capital loss on my tax return, but then, there's also a lost opportunity cost if I hold on and hope for a rebound which may or may not occur. What would you do? Thanks and kind regards.

Q: Hi Peter, I'm interested in preferreds and wonder about the rate reset feature. Recently AGN issued 6 year rate reset preferred @4.5%. The reset in 6 years is equal to the 5 year Canada yield plus 2.94%. Do you think that yield potential will be sufficient to keep the preferred trading at about par in the interim?

Q: Just a comment as well on your suggestion with respect to Wi-Lan. I, too, succumbed to your choice in the contest, and am unhappy with the stock coming down. I'm prepared to check further your instinct and wait a while.Yet,is it realistic to expect their portfolio of patents to do the trick within 3 months of the contest selection ?

Q: What do you think of the total return prospects for Morguard Corp (MRC) versus Morguard REIT(MRT.UN)? (MRC has much smaller div, but seems to be the cheaper of the 2.)
Both look very cheap in terms of p/e, p/cf, p/b; leverage seems ok; am I missing something? Thanks
