A: Currently the only oilsands projects showing good netback numbers are the ones built a
long time ago when capex costs were low.

New projects have been still showing really low rates of return of capital with IRRs in
the mid single digits.

I would rather choose the companies with success adding to reserves in deepwater in higher
risk jurisdictions. PBR, APC or CGX on the Bovespa. more

Q: This is kind of a complicated question, so I really appreciate anyone that takes
the time to explain it to me. Last year an analyst recommended MCD stock on the
reasoning that the PE ratio was the lowest it had been since 2003. McDonalds
tends to trade at 17 times earnings, and it had been around 14. The argument is
simple, and I ended up buying some. I tried applying that logic to a technology
stock, GLW, and the results have been different. I believe GLW has historically
traded at around 17-19 times earnings, but now it's at something like 8. I had
anticipated these earnings from GLW and the opportunity to sell GLW in the mid
to high 20s, but people seem to have defined a new normal for what the PE of
this company ought to be. At least I think that's what's going on. So let me
break this into a few questions.

1. Where can I find historical PE ratios for a company?
2. Does anyone know from experience if technology companies tend to trade at
lower PE ratios over time as the company matures?
3. If so, does this trend apply for other sectors as well?
4. Do you think GLW is fairly evaluated at 8 times earnings?

A: well....it really depends on....who your friends are and how much money they are in charge
of managing....but for tv purposes, whether someone is willing to pay 15 or not is
determined by forward outlook of companies performance. we bet on the future. you can't
just use PE's....you need more data to determine price direction. more

Answer this question
Q: I have been about even overall the last 5 years (which I guess is better than
some mutual fund managers out there) but I'd like to make more.
Here is an issue I can't seem to overcome because I hate paying fees. My broker
(TD
Waterhouse) charges me $29 per trade or precentages of larger trades. With a
small account of $15000, making frequent trades often eats significantly into my
gains. My purchases have often been for my whole position at once to limit the
fees versus using your strategy of easing into a position over 2 or more buys
over time. I could get lower fees for more frequent trades in a month but I
don't want to be a trader I want to be an investor that trades when it makes
sense. So if I take my $15000 into 6 pieces (5 diversified stocks and the other
6th in cash), I have $2500 for each stock. Let's say I want to buy Company X at
$100, so I take a $1000 position with a cost of $1029. A month later I want to
buy more at $100 for another $1000 at a cost of $1029. Finally, I'm left with
$442 to pick up 4 more shares for $429. My total cost is now $2487 for 24
shares (or $103.65). If I sell in the same blocks while incurring 3 more fees
of $29 now my total cost will be $2574 (or $107.25). The stock would have had
to apreciate to $107.25 just to break even (a 7.5% gain!).
Is there a different way I should be thinking about this, or is there a slightly
different strategy for the small account manager?
