DON'T BUY

Thinks that oil prices are going to settle down and they are not going to be a very low cost producer. He would be wary on this.

BUY

This is one that investors have gotten a little bit frustrated with. In August, Kuwaitis were forming a deal to do a joint venture. It now looks that the deal has been reaffirmed again. At this valuation, this should do fairly well. For its barrels in the ground, it is trading at about $0.15 and should really go for $0.75-$0.80.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 28/11. Down 0.97%.) If you look at the last 2 joint ventures that this company did, around $1 a barrel and where Chinese companies were willing to put up hard dollars for the assets, you’ll get a value of probably $24-$25 today. It either gets bought or moves substantially higher. Great long-term assets.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick May 25/12, Up 40%) Bought more. Profitable. Management owns a ton of the stock.

TOP PICK
Very defensive name. Since its IPO it has bounced off $10 every single time. Crossed through the 200 day moving average for the 1st time in a year. Expected to announce results from their TAGD pilot.
TOP PICK
Eric’s theme tonight is “Getting something for nothing”. This gives you 2 million net acres of Duverney, Montne, Nordig (?) rights and you also get 3 billion barrels in a formation called Leduc, and oilsands property. If you take where their net cash is going to exit at the end of this year as well as their conventional oilsands, he gets around $11 so it is trading at a 5% discount.
TOP PICK
Sold interest in 2 of their projects to Petro China at the equivalent of $1 a barrel. If you put that on all of their oil sands developments, effectively you would have the stock at over $25 a share. Insiders are buying the stock as well. Have some light oil production coming in from the Duverne area, which will probably get 10,000 barrels a day by year end. Huge discount to the NAV.
BUY
Thinks this one goes higher. Very solid and well capitalized. Doing some interesting things on the joint venture front. Think this one will go higher.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) Potential buy here. Have 5 rigs running in the deep basin. Will have a serious catalyst coming up in terms of Duvernay Oil (DDV-T). With regulatory approval on their Dover project, they could exercise a Put option and bring $1.3 billion into the company's coffers.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 8/11, Down 33.50%) Turned into a tired old thing because we expected it to become a producer. It needs to produce some results.
TOP PICK
Street believe $6 more in the stock. He agrees.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick Oct 28/11, Down 11.69%) Likes the oil sands. Deal they recently did where they exercised put options from Chinese is impressive. The arbitrage difference is tremendous. Have light oil production for current cash flow. Thinks the market is not recognizing them properly. All the pieces are falling into place.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Has huge reserves of about 9.5 billion barrels and 1.7 million acres. Great management and good cash position. Petro China deal is very positive for it.
SELL
Was taken public and a lot of insiders dumped a lot of shares afterwards. A lot of early investors did very, very well, but not the later investors. Put a negative market sentiment around the company. He is among the people taking a second look. It was always an attractive company but it was over promoted. Required a lot of consolidation to come back on the radar screen. Taking some cash now is a reasonable thing to do.
