Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
I am slowly but surely moving toward the "Model Income Portfolio" in one account and toward the "Model Portfolio" in a separate account. Different objectives for each account. I have owned PEY since 2010 at about $13 in both accounts. Does it make sense to have PEY and SGY at 2.5% allocations each in my version of the Model Income Portfolio and PEY and WCP at 2.5% allocations each in my version of the Model Portfolio ??? That way I have exposure to half natural gas and half light oil for my energy weightings in each account. As an aside I read Darren Gee's President's Report every month and I strongly encourage other 5i subscribers to do the same. Peyto is one of the most shareholder friendly companies in the energy sector and extremely well run. I would appreciate your opinion of my proposed energy sector allocations. Thank you. DL

Q: I have a very small position in CEU, PEY, HWO and BDI but was thinking of increasing my position in two of these to 4-5%. Which would you consider would give the best overall return over the next 1yr or would you rather go with something else ?

I was sorry to hear you had a bad bike accident. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
cheers,
Jack

Q: Natural Gas producers like Peyto and Painted Pony have had a really good run of late. Do you feel there is still a fair bit of upside?

What are the leading factors that drive natural gas exploration and producing stocks? Is it more than just the unit price of the product? Do you feel location of the primary production plays a part? i.e. Sask. vs. NW BC etc.

Thanks for such a great service!

Phil

Q: I currently hold MEG & TOG, both make up approx 7% together of the energy component of my portfolios. I am looking to compliment these if you agree with those choices. However I also feel that Nat Gas will do well into 2014. What would recommend in that vein and perhaps buying the UNG is avenue to pursue. Look forward to your insight. Excellent forum. Thanks. Maureen

Q: In your December 6th reply to Lina about Peyto Exploration (PEY), you wrote the following:"It is clearly one of the better names out there, in our view. It is susceptible to weak gas prices, but we think it still has some decent potential."
It's Peyto's susceptibility to gas prices that has me concerned. Right now, because of the unusually frigid temperatures in North American, the price of natural gas is higher than it's been in years, and Peyto is benefiting from it. But it won't be long before warmer weather returns and Peyto will start to pull back. Adding downward pressure on its stock price will likely be the arrival of other producers who shut down their operations a few years ago and are now ready to return to the market place given the higher natural gas prices. If Peyto is sensitive to natural gas prices, which in turn is tied to the prevailing temperatures and the quantity being produced, would now be the time to lock in my profits?
