Q: Hi,

I have a pretty big position in AVO about 15% which I bought at $32. It has been trending down and I was not able to sell it to reduce my exposure. Today I have purchased 5 put options with 28 strike and sold 5 call options at 32 strike. Do you think it is wise to do this to protect the downside. This will also restrict my upside though.

Q: Hi Peter and team,
There was a massive sell-off today (-20%) in DCK (Donnycreek energy)the reason being they had to temporarily suspend testing due to detecting a higher than average level of Hydrogen Sulphide. Do you feel this sell-off was overdone and would these shares be a good buy at this time.

Thanks

PS looking foward to ESL and AVO earnings after the close today

Q: Hi Peter,
I read a comment recently from another member in the Q&A section in regards to companies that specialize in fracking sand for the energy sector. I have searched through many questions and can't seem to find the question and your response where you mentioned a few names that specialize in providing this service. Can you please name a few companies that provide fracking sand to the industry? Or perhaps another member can recall when this question was asked and answered? I'm sure it was recently over the last week or two. Thank-you.

California is the Nations largest agricultural producer. It is reported the drought they are experiencing may result in up to 25% of irrigated fields and orchids in the country going unplanted resulting in a $5 BB hit in lost revenue. Can you speak towards what sector you see this effecting in a negative as well as positive manner? (if any)

Thank You

Q: Good morning Peter. Bought in osisko (osk) when G made its offer. Having trouble seeing if the run up yesterday was the russia effect or the court resolution effect and what the agreement between G and OSK yesterday means for the Goldcorp offer. Is OSK buying time, do they have another bid in the works and is yesterdays run-up big enough to sell my shares?

Q: In reference to your remarks to the question about Lundin Mining (LUN) asked by Bill on Feb 25, 2014:
-When did management of Lundin say they may initiate a dividend once the Eagle Mine is in production?

I hold LUN and sell Call options against my shares for a decent income. If possible I would like to hear or read for myself the context in which a dividend was mentioned.

I too have thought the company may pay a dividend ever since they were unable to sell the company.

Thank you.

Q: Enerplus' last quarter seemed to be a mixture of good and bad. You indicated in a reply to another question on January 30 that Enerplus has good growth potential and a possibility of a dividend increase. Given that 55% of the capital spending will be in US funds would this not impact cash flow and eliminate the possibility of a dividend increase?
I have held this stock since 2009 and rode out the bad times and dividend cuts. I am above water due to the income I have received and I am wondering if now would be a good time to exit my position. What would be a good replacement at this time?
