Q: Hi Peter and team, this morning Pinecrest (PRY) and Spartan (STO) announced that they are combining forces to create a new dividend/growth oil company. Please provide your thoughts. I own a lot of Spartan and Pinecrest, so is this an opportunity to sell into strength (both are up this morning) or do you advise to hold on. Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter,
I know we have discussed this company before (NML), it looks like a great long term story and I realize it's more of a macro story(we require China picking up etc...). Any thoughts today as the shares have closed below $1? Thanks.

Q: Hey guys. I am not familiar at all with Jovian Capital and probably wont buy it but the curiosity is killing me. They recently announced a special $3 a share dividend but the shareprice has only jumped 70 cents. Is there something I am missing? I noticed in May they also paid a special $4 dividend that didn't really move the stock either. Your insights are appreciated.

Q: Peter,
I'd like your opinion on this "new generation" of dividend paying oil juniors. Speciifically, I am interested in hearing your thoughts on Twin Butte Energy at the current levels and how it compares with Renegade Petroleum (looks like Renegade is setting themselves up to be quite similar to Twin Butte).
