Stockchase Opinions

Joanne A. Hruska, CFA Chinook Energy Inc CKE-T WAIT Nov 14, 2018

They have cut back and preserved capital. They do not have a debt issue. They are a gas play. If gas prices stay strong, they should do well. She anticipates their 4th quarter production being lower. She is not buying it today, but the future looks good.

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

You might be interested:

WAIT
Has had a few divestments to keep the balance sheet clean. You might want to wait to buy it because it is Nat. Gas and you want to go through the shoulder season.
COMMENT

Develops niche oil and gas opportunities in international hydrocarbon provinces. Explores globally. This one was in a negative trend and has clearly broken out. We are coming up to the period of seasonal strength. A volatile stock but it is showing outperformance against the market. Looks interesting.

COMMENT

Feels the market wants to see this company become less complex. Have some assets in Canada and some in Tunisia. Tunisia has always been a sore spot from the geopolitical risk standpoint. He hopes they can sell the Tunisian assets and bring the cash back to Canada and invest in some interesting plays. If that happens, he could see the share price at $2.50. If looking for a small cap gas stock, see Top Picks. (See Top Picks.)

DON'T BUY

Energy is positive coming up, but the chart on this one is not that appealing. It just broke through the 50 day a few days ago, and there has been significant underperformance against the market over the past month. There are signs that this one is trending lower.

BUY

One of his favourite junior gas names. It represents pretty good value. It is cashed up, not a lot of debt. If drilling results come through there is a lot of upside potential.

WAIT

It is repositioning itself in Canada and there are some good assets in Canada. The management team has done it before. Give it some time and see how they do.

COMMENT

Has been nibbling at this. Really likes this because it is sitting on $50 million in cash. It is in a nice sweet spot where Kelt Exploration (KEL-T) just acquired Artek Exploration (RTK-T) and Storm (SRX-X). They have some nice wells and some good land. Good management. This is a good place to park.

BUY

This is a good way to play the small cap area through the bottom. They are not spending much at all this year. They are more of a gas play. Mostly in BC. They are in an area that is really doing well. M&A could happen at any time. It is a nice place to park money in this down turn.

SELL
