Q: Greetings:
Yesterday, March 25 you gave a good rundown on Tve in answer to a question from Norwood. I bought 1850 shares on March 7, 2023 @ 4.11. The reports by 5i and others at that time were very encouraging, as they are today. It went down and stayed there all year, until very recently. It is cheap compared to some other oil names-- Agree or no?. I am interested in buying more but need your opinion. The other very important matter is from Ink Research who today reports that there is a short squeeze on TVE. Could you please provide the % of shorts? Doesn't it seem odd that there would be a short squeeze. ? If you agree, would it be better to wait until it settles down? I await your valued input. With thanks, Ben.

5i Research Answer:
At 11X earnings with a. 4% dividend, we would consider TVE and would be OK adding now that momentum has shifted positive. Short interest is 1.5% in Canada and 2.2% in the US. We would not consider that high enough to suggest a squeeze is going on, though the stock may be hard to borrow at times. We would not consider the short interest here to be a determiming factor in a buy decision.
