Q: I have questions about the recent acquisition and stock offering for Milestone, one of my largest holdings.

1. They did not mention whether the acquisition is accretive - is it accretive?
2. Why would they sell about 185 M worth of stock for a 242M property, especially since they are also disposing of another property?
3. They say the NAV of properties will increase by a net amount of about 300 M, yet the cost of the property is 242M (and recall that this includes a disposition of one property) - isn't it a bit hard to b believe that they got a 300 M property for 242M? Is this possible? Or are they playing with the numbers?

Do you for see an increase in usage for these energy service companies (if oil maintains itself above 50)? or will it need to go higher .Or have they had their little run up in price for now and will need a higher price to carry them further .Your thoughts are appreciated as always

Q: (You may receive this twice, but when I sent in the message a few minutes ago, I received an error message that suggests it may not have gotten through.)

Do you have an estimated date for when these companies report their 3Q earnings, and whether they may have telegraphed expectations? Thanks.

Q: This stock has had a great run but its latest results, which seemed to be pretty solid, didn't move the stock. Do you think most of the growth is pretty much wrung out of it now and that it should be viewed as largely an income stock? The main reason for my question is that I am currently more interested in a stock that combines both growth and income such as FEZ or BEP.(sector not important)

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i
I know heu is a speculative commodity tied investment. I've owned it since $9.00, now it's over $12 in just a few months. Do you think oil is going to keep climbing a driving heu up especially with these new potential OPEC deals? Or do you think I should sel it off and put the money and profits into some other oil/energy investment?

Thanks!

Q: I bought RMP a little over a year ago anticipating a bounce when oil started to recover. It bounced--just in the wrong direction. It seems to be treading water now as oil keeps going up. What are your thoughts on it going forward. Should I sell it , take my loss & move on or should I hang in for another couple of quarters. Thanks for your advice Peter

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Can you comment on how rising interest rates will affect ECN and EFN? I was an owner of EFN before the split, so I now own both, but I was thinking of adding to my ECN position.

Thanks,

Jordan

Q: I am down 7% on my Crescent Point shares and I am thinking about selling and taking a superficial loss. My replacement security would be Whitecap Resources...Thoughts? Other than the last few months, their share prices seem to be highly correlated...Both move in tandem with the price of oil. Also, I would sell WCP and purchase CPG 31 days from now.
