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: 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?
