Got the reputation of being an active acquirer and hasn't shaken that reputation yet. Probably better off in a more stable name with less risk of downside.

DON'T BUY
Some concerns about their longer term sustainability. In a bit of a “show me” mode. Made a number of acquisitions leading up to the point where the government changed the rules last year and are going through a bit of an integration mode. Questions if they have deep enough technical focus and drilling inventory. Have a strong US ownership base, so could consider changing to the US.

Being acquired by Penn West (PWT.UN-T). Good acquisition as it gives critical mass of 2000 barrels a day production, capacity to absorb other income trusts and/or oil/gas exploration companies. Also gives them leverage to expand not only outside of Alberta, but into the US. Would wait for the merger to take position before buying Penn West.

HOLD
Being acquired by Penn West Energy (PWT.UN-T). He will take shares rather than cash. Looking out 3 to 4 years, he likes oil and gas. Merged company will have 2 advantages. 1) Tax pools will probably defer any taxes to be paid out on until 2013/2014 and 2) It may be converted back to a corporation and will be a major challenge to other large caps.
