Q: I have significant losses in these companies. I don't need tax losses.

Should I average down on these companies or is there any of these companies that I should sell and move on?

Q: In your reply to Shane you said "we think an investor who chooses the right stocks, and can do nothing for three years, is going to see some very hefty returns when this thing turns"; please elaborate and give me a few names. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i, looking for help taming the RIETs part of my portfolio as i own all of the above. Can you help me with selling some REITs (anything I've doubled up on or is not the best choice). I am planning on redistributing the funds to the remaining REITs. As usual your help is appreciated, if you could rank them also that would be great.

Q: The Q3 results seemed fine, and guidance is positive so why did CJ get hit so hard today (down 12 per cent). Other oil names were down as well but nothing was down as sharply as CJ. Is there something that I missed? I like the 6 cent per month divvy and now that the debt has been dramatically reduced I feel CJ can continue to pay the divvy even if WTI drops down to the $70 ish range. Is there something here not to like than a recession pulling down demand for oil and subsequently price per barrel?

Q: Parex is starting to look so tempting that I am considering it again despite an anti-oil government now in charge in Columbia. The dollar a year dividend now yields well over 5 per cent and I estimate that at least 20 per cent of PXT's market cap is covered by net cash on the balance sheet. I sold out of PXT in the high $20's before the Columbian elections but I promised to revisit is it went sub$20. It is now below hence the revisit. If the Petro government were to get really radical and decide to nationalize the foreign oil and gas (and mining for that matter) companies what kind of compensation might be paid (I am sure had some experience with that back in your Sprott days!!) I recall The Harper government getting a free trade deal between Canada and Columbia. Does a deal like that make nationalization much more difficult? I wouldn't waste your time on PXT but at sub $19 it is really tempting!!!

Q: A follow up on y PXT question. On the stockhouse bullboard someone posted that the Gustav Petro (sounds more like a Russian that a Latino) government announced a new 10 per cent tax on 'exports' of Columbian crude. Is the oil that PXT extracts in Columbia used domestically or does it go for export? Or am I spitting hairs on the definition of the word export? Also the same post said that royality payments would no longer be tax deductible which is a drag on post tax profit but it can't be that big of a hit?
