Q: TBE

Twin Butte Energy shares dropped today. Would you consider this to be an opportunity to buy. With a share drop today, the dividend increased to 9.9% which they say is sustainable.

Q: ENTREC Corporation (ENT).
When I saw the results just released I was disappointed particularly with the comment that “higher revenue in the first quarter this year was offset by a lower adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.3%, compared to 26.0% in Q1 last year.” and "In the short term, we expect the reduced activity levels to continue into the second quarter of 2014 and that our equipment utilization levels will remain lower than last year.”
However the market appears to like the results and shares are up today.
Would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thanks
John

Q: Good morning Peter, I'm wondering what your thoughts are on HWO, high arctic energy for my TFSA? I may be slightly overweight in oil/oil services overall but don't hold anything like that in my TFSA and I'd like to find something with good growth potential for the TFSA. Thanks.

Q: Not a question, just a rhetorical comment. Publish at your discretion. There have been a couple of questions on why the drop in energy stock prices over the past 2 trading days. The seasonality on energy is February 25 to May 9. Coincidence?

Q: The energy sector has taken a hammering the last couple of days, with many companies off 6-10% in two days. Do you have any idea why? Also are the reversals likely to be short term?

Q: Hello Peter & Team, any explanation for the sudden Canadian energy sell off affecting three of my names: TOU, WCP & DEE? Even Peter's latest energy pick SGY has come back in the last few days. Are these buying opportunities or a signal oil & gas prices are about to cave in? Many thanks, Keith
