Q: I plan on selling VET this week and yet its share price keeps on falling. At today close I'm down about 25%. I was planning to let it go at about 22 to 23%.

Should I just sell VET at whatever price it opens tomorrow? Or you believe the majority of the tax loss selling are over and there is a chance that there could be a slight rebound. Please advise.

Q: I am planning to realize losses on the above companies to offset capital gains with a plan to repurchase after 30 days. In order to maintain sector exposure in the intervening period I would like identify proxies for each holding. My thinking is as follows:

TECK.B == XMA
BNS == TD
TFII == ZIN
NFI == ZIN
WEF == CFP
VET == XEG
WCP == XEG

Please review my suggested proxies and add / amend as needed. Alternatively, if you think I would simply be better off holding cash until repurchasing please say so. Thank-you very much for your help.

Q: Hi, I’m a little low on oil and reits and was thinking of vermillion or summit to add at this time. Vermillion because of a possible rebound and dividend, or Summit as it is in a nice uptread but may be soon done? I have been caught a few times buying high and watching it go south.
Would you have a clear idea which way to go or a better alternative? I don’t want to buy both because of limited funds
Thanks

Q: I am looking to initiate a position in an oil and gas company.
Can you recommend a couple of companies that would benefit the most from a rebound in the sector, also your reasons for recommending the companies. I have a fairly high risk tolerance and I am looking at a longer term hold.
Thanks!

Q: Crude is approximately double the price it was in late 2015 - early 2016 and the shares of VET.to are where they were when oil was trading at 30 per barrel. 35% of Vermillion's holdings are Brent-priced light oil production and European natural gas prices that are 2-2.5x greater than North American gas prices. Compared to a typical Western Canadian oil and gas producer it would seem that Vermilion is a bit of a value play here. The fact they did not cut their dividend through the last downturn and have paid an increasing dividend since 2010 is also notable. So what am I missing? Thanks! Randy D.

Q: I'm wondering if you would know what percentage of Vermillion's revenue now comes from its non-Canadian assets. I'm thinking of harvesting some losses on Cdn. energy stocks I hold and putting the proceeds into Vermillion shares as a way of staying in the sector in case of a recovery. Your thoughts please.

Q: Are you aware of the underlying reason(s) Vermillion has dumped since its Oct. 25th earnings release? Some production up, some down, +280% boe US increase production helped by Powder River Basin acquisition in Wyoming but no big announcement. Your rating of VET and short term/long term outlooks would be appreciated.
