Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: My oil stocks amount to 9% of the total portfolio. Holdings are SU and CPG with 3% ea and IAE, LEG and TOU at 1 % each. Would it make sense to sell IAE and LEG and add those funds to TOU. All three of those stocks project a substantial potential increase in future cash flow. Or would it be better to sell the SU and put those funds into TOU.

Many thanks. Great service! Bob

Q: Concerning Sea Dragon Energy your last answer was
There is always 'hope'...but hoping is not investing.

We have been very disappointed with management of Sea Dragon, after having high hopes. It is too small now and does not have much cash left. It is likely time to exit this one.

Can you elaborate why you are disappointed with management.

Q: Hi Peter and Team, any thoughts/opinions on the following regarding Pinecrest, PRY, would be greatly appreciated (and would this be true regarding share purchases by insiders?). Thanks!

Wade Becker, President & CEO of Pinecrest Energy presented at Canaccord Genuity's 7th Annual
Global Resources Conference last week in Miami. Pinecrest insiders have been huge, huge buyers of their own stock over the
past several weeks - roughly 5.7 million shares at an average cost of $0.47 per share since September 12, 2013. Becker's
presentation gave us a little glimpse into why. Focused largely on the company’s waterflood program in the Slave Point area.
PRY estimates that it will have ~1,000 boe/d of production on waterflood by year-end (approximately 1/3 of production).
Canaccord Genuity Energy Analyst Anthony Petrucci notes this could have a material impact on corporate declines heading into
2014. Other highlights from Becker's presentation included: i) EVI #2 is the company’s first operated waterflood scheme and
has seen production increase to three times over initial rate; ii) The Loon #1 waterflood program commenced in March 2013
and production results were visible after two months of injection; and, iii) The company has one of the largest positions in the Slave Point light oil resource play, with over 400 net drilling locations.

Q: I am considering placing about 4% of my RRSP into Spyglass Resources. The dividend of over 13% seems exciting, is it sustainable and what do you think of SGL chances for growth over the next six months to a year?

Thanks again!

Q: Your thoughts on CTA (Crocotta Energy) please. It was featured as a Top Pick on BNN this week and I was wondering if it was a good energy play in an RRSP account.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: I’m confused by Dualex (DXE) and Africa Hydrocarbons (NFK), probably within a few weeks of test results from their Tunisian oil well joint venture. It seems all the preliminary log results look promising and “hydrocarbon shows” have been noted but you don’t know if you have a commercially viable well until you flow test it and they are still just about to do that. Meanwhile some of the numbers are not adding up for me. I think NFK has a slightly smaller interest in the project (47.5% for NFK: 52.5% for DXE). NFK had 5% more shares outstanding and just today announced a private placement with Canaccord that could float another 18% more shares potentially, at 18 cents a unit (with each unit including one share and one half warrant good at 30 cents). On the same day the NFK share price catches up to DXE’s and both close with a bid/ask spread of 0.245/0.25. As I understand it NFK doesn’t really have any other assets aside from this JV. DXE on the other hand has a Hungarian nat gas property that has cash-flowed a couple of million $ annually, which while not overwhelming is at least more than nothing. So how does more dilution, less of an interest, and less other assets add up to an equivalent share price? What is NFK’s rationale for doing this financing on the eve of testing the well? Were they completely out of money and caught in a bind? Or is this a signal that they are not so confident in the well test after all. If they aren’t confident, what is Canaccord doing? A dry well means the $0.30 warrants probably never get exercised. Are they going to immediately flip all of the private placement shares for a couple of pennies profit? Or is this NFK maybe giving Canaccord a sweet deal now to lock up a more favorable financing deal that would follow on positive well test results? Can you make this story coherent?
