Q: In a response to Chris on February 27th, you indicated OBE was OK but you thought TVE was better. I am curious what brought you to that conclusion. Maybe I get too caught up in simple metrics. For example, OBE has a PE of 1.0 and a PB of 0.52 compared to TBE where the same ratios are 4.3 and 1.3. I realize it is not as simple as that. I hope you can educate me on how to dig deeper into your preference for TVE. Thanks again for helping the little person.

Q: What are your updated thoughts on OBE? I have a partial position and planned to increase to a full position until their news release today. In such a strong oil and gas environment, why does a company need to commit to an 11.95% interest rate on 5 year notes. Am I missing something, OBE scores well on a number of metrics that I monitor so I thought they would be able to negotiate a better interest rate.

Q: With the recent news on Obsidian energy seeking $100 million of unsecured fixed income, How does one find out what OBE's bond rating is? B plus or higher or lower?
Not an investor of this company, I just find this strange in the present environment, but understand why they would pursue this avenue.

Thanks, Barry

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I am down a ton on bother of these. I do not need to liquidate but not sure what to do...hold or sell. Since they have both been hammered lately would it be better to wait for a rebound before selling? On the other hand do they have any longer term potential? Your thoughts please!
Thanks...your insights are always valuable as we retail investors navigate through tricky waters!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is an impossible question for you because I know your opinion on these individual stocks is negative at best. If you had your feet to the fire and had to chose one for the long term...what would it be and why?
Thanks for your excellent insights and attentive service...
