Q: Legacy Oil & Gas (LEG) has recently had a nice move to the upside on sizable volume. Would you attribute this to the year end reserves announced on March 5, some short covering, or is there something else that would accounting for same? As it has done little over the course of the last year, is it worthwhile holding it over the course of the next 6 months to a year.
Thanks in advance

Q: Hi Peter, In your interview with My Own Advisor you stated, "Also, there will be at least 10 times of complete panic in the markets in the next twenty years. Use these times to buy, not to panic."
Recognizing that there will be a different number for every individual and situation, what would be an acceptable range of cash to keep for the purpose of buying into panics, say 10 to 20%? Or would you recommend staying fully invested and pulling funds from the fixed income side of the portfolio, or tapping into margin, or perhaps a combination of the 3 areas? Thanks, J.
