Stockchase Opinions

Jean-Francois Tardif Berens Energy Ltd. BEN-T WAIT Feb 15, 2006

Got hit pretty hard recently. Their margins are lower than average. When the gas price goes down, lower margin businesses are more affected. On the other hand, this is a small company that is growing fast. Long-term, they are going to be fine. If you are long-term, it is OK to buy but if you are short-term, wait.

It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for managing and tracking your investments.

You might be interested:

HOLD
A cash producer. They own it. It's gas oriented. They are holding on to it. Just a reminder that you need to diversify in energy resources.
WAIT
Doesn't own, but was a lead underwriter for financing in January. Primarily natural gas focused resulting in a bit of a pullback. Very conservative management. Have a few high growth prospects. Expect it to be midyear before there is any increase in pricing in natural gas.
WEAK BUY
Has done quite well recently. There are better performers out there, but this is okay.
HOLD
A heavily gas weighted junior producer. At this stage of the game, gas has been all beaten up and we are starting to see positive results.
DON'T BUY
Has been a bit of a disappointment recently. Missed their production numbers over the 1st and 2nd quarters. Good management team and some good assets.
HOLD
Have problems that a lot of juniors and mid-caps have in getting rigs and into the pipelines. A little too early for this one.
WEAK BUY
Heavily gas weighted. Have done quite well. They are into the deep basin. Costs have hit them. Because they are a junior, they have had problems getting rigs. Have some good prospects. Too risky for him.
WATCH
Gas weighted. A little too much debt. Has come back a little stronger in the last few weeks. Watch the debt on this one. If gas prices do come back, this one should come back with a vengeance. Wait and see if her theory on stronger gas prices is correct.
BUY
Market thought their debt was too high but with gas prices coming back up, the stock will go higher because analysts are going to increase their natural gas commodity forecasts which will decrease their cash to debt forecasts.
