Management was chronically over promising. But management had turned over. Have extensive land package. There is no leadership or game plan today. Production is declining.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 4/12. Down 1.79%.) Acquired by Long Run Exploration (LRE-T) in Oct/12. LRE would be a fabulous buy under $4.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 4/12. Up 1.79%.) Merging with WestFire Energy (WFE-T) in October, which makes a lot of sense. Likes this company longer-term. This is one you want to own for the long run.

TOP PICK
0.4 price to book ratio. Bounced up a little bit. Likes it. Book value was $3.99 in March. Should be 40%+ oil and liquids next year. Northwest Alberta corridor. If it stays as cheap as it is someone will come knocking, but wait until the fall to buy.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 10/11. Down 40.32%.) Doing about 15,000-16,000 barrels a day of which 37% is liquids, 5700 BOEs a day. Has a nice spread in the West 5 area. Cheap but it could get cheaper.
BUY
(Market Call Minute) Cut reserves today. Much cleaner story now. If you are patient on Nat Gas, it is ok.
COMMENT
Sitting on a huge land spread. Just had a new management change. Has been struggling to grow production for several years. Will take a little while for the management team to chew through the properties and divest themselves of non-core assets. On a long-term holding you could do okay but he prefers others.
TOP PICK
Doing 13,500-14,000 BOE's a day and expected to average 14,000 a day. Got into the doghouse when involved with the Pasqua and Cardium. Had to sell assets. Doing 37%-38% oil and liquids which is over 50% of revenues. Fabulous value story with BV of $7.97. Has an NAV of $5.48 at the end of 2010. Expecting $1.50 annualized cash flow at the end of 2011.Very cheap.
DON'T BUY
Have not had a good time of things. Let leverage get too high and had to sell key assets that use to be their jewels. Reserve bookings have been in question. Have retrenched and focusing on probable reserves and turning them into proved reserves. Have lost a lot of their luster and the attention of the street.
BUY
Likes this one. Has a $5.50 target. Sees an NAV of $5.48. Expecting them to do 14,400 BOE’s a day this year. About 34% of oil and liquids, which will be cash flowing them $122 million. Debt about $136 million. Just over 1:1 debt to cash flow ratio. Could see volumes growing up to 15,000 BOE’s a day by year-end.
DON'T BUY
Stuck in a trading range of $3.50 to $4.50 and he feels it’s dead money. Attractive on a valuation basis as it’s trading at a significant discount at 4X enterprise value to cash flow for production and also cheap on book reserves but feels reserves are aggressively booked.
WAIT
Lot of similarities with SU. Looks like a good place to be. $6.00-$6.80 resistance. In short term, some of indicators are overbought. Then it is going to go much higher.
HOLD
Buy at $3.50, sell at $4.25-$4.50. In a no man’s land. Looking at flat production growth. Can withstand a low natural gas price.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Over promise and under deliver from management.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 5/09. Down 30%.) Was above its 200 day moving average and then dropped below. Sold his holdings at about where he had bought.
