Q: Hello Y'all
I hold a lot of Twin Butte(TBE) and am concerned about the sudden departure of the CFO as well as their forecast. Is it possible he did not agree with the co.s wish to report the numbers as they were presented for the report and chose to resign? Is the reaction realistic or overdone?
Great service and thanks.

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
