Birchcliff Energy Ltd. (BIR-T) is a small to mid-cap natural gas producer, currently positioned in a politically constrained Canadian market. Experts highlight the potential for natural gas prices to trend lower in the short term, with a more favorable outlook over the next few years, particularly if political challenges ease under current Canadian leadership. The stock has shown a new uptrend, characterized by higher highs and higher lows, making it attractive for those bullish on natural gas. Additionally, Birchcliff has significant delineated inventory and exploration potential, albeit with a heavy capital expenditure requirement for growth. While some experts appreciate its size and long-term prospects, concerns about leverage and the timeline to free cash flow remain.

COMMENT
Natural gas in the Montney shale formation. Lots of reserves and recently raised some cash to develop them. Will probably get acquired.
DON'T BUY
Gas producer with some interesting exposure in the Montney play in Alberta. Very expensive relative to its peers. Good management. Would prefer others such as Celtic Exploration (CLT-T) or Arc Energy (AET.UN-T).
BUY
(Market Call Minute) At some point gas prices go higher.
DON'T BUY
Has a premium price and high debt level compared to pier group. Likes the management and the plays.
COMMENT
There is a very brilliant investor behind it and it trades at a very high multiple. He prefers to buy stocks on a discount.
DON'T BUY
Have large undeveloped Montney resources. Execution risks are reasonably high. A lot of downside in gas prices currently.
PARTIAL BUY
Heavily involved in the Montney play in Alberta. Produces about 12,000 barrels a day. Natural gas weighted. He is under weighted on the stock but you want to have some exposure. Leverage is a bit of a concern sold they are spending cash flow that mutes any growth into next year. Expecting some growth in 09.
BUY
One of the leading juniors in the Montney gas play. Has been trashed along with everything. Should be all right. Gas should be stable. Speculation on gas.
TRADE
Gas driven, undervalued, done well, prices got expensive, better value in Galleon.
HOLD
Big Montney gas exposure. Likes the company. Sold out his position. On his list to look at.
COMMENT
Montney shale play is attracting the most interest in the oil sector. Could be a take out. Don’t the results there will get disappointing.
HOLD
One of the favoured Montney plays.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) Great company with some massive assets. Pretty rich valuation. Be careful.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Any company in the Montney region is a possible candidate for a takeover. What matters is the amount of land and its quality. Expect this is a strategy of this management but doesn't think it will be taken out this year. Thinks that over the next month there could be a good buying opportunity.
COMMENT
Another analyst with his company likes this stock. Primarily in the northwestern Alberta area. Probably one of the companies around that area that is a good consolidator. Good company.
