Q: Hi Guys,
If I think the US PMI data may be peaking in the next few months and we could have a global slowdown for 2017 and looking for a few bearish bets, perhaps a few short trades as well. With China now depending on more exports as well as Japan and with a big chunk of those exports coming to the US we could have the 3 largest economies in the world slowing at the same time. This would weaken the demand for crude oil and I think it could revisit the $20's once again. I'm looking for companies that can quickly get in trouble once again if the economy begins to weaken, I'm thinking Teck and Baytex? Do you agree these names will drop in the above noted scenario ?Any other names you might suggest? Looking for weak balance sheets I suppose with too much debt. Thanks

Q: I currently have Teck and have enjoyed the big run up this year though I am still down 10% as I bought in 2014. I know you are concerned about their debt so my question is would you continue to hold it? If not, can you recommend a similar stock (that pays > 1% dividend) to replace it.
Thanks for your excellent advice.

Q: Hi,

I know you mentioned Teck wasn't quite a buy yet back in December, but the stock has since been cut in half (again). Do you think it's a buy for the riskier part of a portfolio given it's strong near term liquidity, debt maturity profile (2017 onwards) and ability to raise cash via asset sales if it must.

The share price fall seems a bit overdone at these levels, but welcome your views.

Q: For those holding TCK.B and waiting for a recovery in commodity prices, do you feel the outlook for continuing to hold TCK.B improved when considering the 2015 Q3 report? They seem to be making good moves with debt reduction via the new revenues from the streaming agreements, and also focusing on cost cutting. Thanks.
