(A Top Pick June 25/12. Up 155.22%.) Took some profits but still has large exposure. Great balance sheet. Have 2 plays that make great industry-leading economics, 1 gas and 1 oil. Have had “best in class” in terms of drilling up those plays. Importantly have been able to structure some pretty interesting joint venture arrangements with foreign parties and Grafton Asset Management of Calgary. Trading at only about 4.5X on an enterprise value, a debt adjusted cash flow basis.
