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.

Q: Both companies are in a currently depressed sector and their respective stock prices reflect that. However, do you have a view on whether they might be close to the bottom? I realize that this is similar to asking where the price of oil is going but both stocks are royalty plays I believe and are therefore somewhat different from other direct oil/gas producers. Do you believe their dividends are reasonably safe and which would you prefer to buy (or not buy either) or better to wait till tax selling season later in the month
