Q: Why does business TV always talk about US crude oil inventories, rather than US crude production, which would seem to be more relevant?

Q: Hi- I know that when a new closed end fund is started up that the first buyers end up paying for the administrative costs of the fund. Is the same thing true of a new ETF? Horizons has put out an Insider etf which I find interesting, but I want to buy it when it reflects the actual fund's value.
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Co,

Market didn't seem to like RBC's decision to buy City National today, as it's down roughly 2% while the other banks are up. I haven't read any negative press on this deal from the analysts, so was wondering what your take on this was.

thx.

Q: Hi 5i team!

With $47 oil would you know what SGY's approx. net back is? I know it was disclosed in the recent quarterly release at much higher oil prices, but the royalty rate also fluctuates. I am looking to go overweight in my portfolio with SGY and am willing to be patient with low oil prices for 2 to 3 years, but I am wondering SGY's "going concern" (risk of bankruptcy) with prolonged low oil prices. From my perspective if SGY is still making money at $30 oil when their hedges roll off then the long term investment should pay off?

Thanks for the advice and looking forward to the 5i Conference!
Angelo

Q: Further to Claudette's question on DRT; Mr. Nutall said the the company had a 25% organic growth. How is that possible when its PEG ratio is less than one? Is there some other metric that provides an answer? We often hear on BNN that organic growth is very positive for stock price appreciation.

Q: Most recent question and response on this company was July 2014. I wonder if your opinion is much the same as at that time, or do you see an improvement; or perhaps a falling off since then or in the cards for a bit later. Importantly, do you see the dividend which is north of 10% as safe. Thank you very much for all you do
