Q: Would it be prudent to reduce energy exposure at this time? My wives RRIF account holds ARX, TOU, & FRU they represent 21.8% of the portfolio. My RRIF account holds ARX, TOU, HWX, PPL, OBE, & PD they represent 33.3 % of the portfolio, PPL alone is 15% of the total portfolio. I know I should reduce this exposure what would you suggest?

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: 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!
