Q: Hello Peter:

I see on some bullboards for stocks that investors ask someone to post the house positions for a certain stock. What info can be derived from this? Is this how much the various brokerages have traded a stock for their clients or is it how much these brokerages actually own themselves and move around. I am with Scotia iTrade and my trades are personal decisions, do they end up in these house position totals?

Thanks in advance

Brendan

Q: Hello, crazy times in the oil patch. I am hearing some analysts touting oil and worried about natural gas and of course lots of people saying the opposite. I do have Tourmaline which is down of course. Any sense switching for CNQ, or just let time do it's thing . I was going to wait until closer to the end of tax loss selling before making any changes

Q: Two questions related to oil companies cutting back on expenditures and dividends.

Reaction to some oil companies saying they will cut back on cap expenditures has been swift with BDI down a lot today. (I assume that is why they are down). My question is how quickly do oil companies ramp up their expenditures once oil prices start to increase again (hopefully) and should we expect BDI to move up with oil prices or will there likely be a lag?

Secondly, what do you expect the market's response to be to the oil sector in general given Canadian Oil Sands decision to cut their dividend? Would you think all companies will drop or will it be on a case by case basis?

thanks.

Q: Good afternoon,

US discretionary spending is indicted to rise with oil dropping, wmt is hitting new highs in anticipation. I consider a moderate risk investment in light of "new money" theoretically ready to deploy. What are your thoughts, where will Canadians spend if discretionary spending increases, will they payoff debt ( bad for banks), would they spend on credit with increased sentiment on repay ability (good for banks, magna, cineplex).. where would you invest in light of the economic change?

Thanks,

Eric
