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: 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: 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.
