(Down 18% since Jan 2007)It is natural gas and that is the problem. Recommends staying with it. Management has done a good job.Believes there is 50% upside.
About 65% natural gas and the rest is oil and liquids. Doing about 3,300 BOEs a day and have about 1,200 BOEs behind pipe and 800 could come on over the next 2-3 months.
(A Top Pick Sept 29/06. Down 41.6%.) Got hit because of natural gas prices. Adding production and will probably be 3700 BOE's a day by the end of Q3. Still likes.
Gas focused. Had an amazing discovery of a pool in the stock did really well. Have been working towards another couple of core areas but hasn't had as much success. Doesn't think they can get into trouble. Management team is good.
(A Past Top Pick Jan 23/07. Down 21.9%.) Load up the truck. Started growing their volumes in Q3. Think they can grow their production by over 4400 by the end of 08. NAV of $8.52. Management has a 27% interest.
(A Past Top Pick Jan 23/07. Down 24%.) 71% natural gas. Doing about 3400 BOE’s a day and could go north of 4400. Thinks they will do over $2 in cash flow sold stock is trading at 2X cash flow. $56 million debt, about 2X cash flow, which is why it has not recovered as quickly as others. NAV in the 3rd quarter of 07 was over $8 a share. Hold.
Gas weighted and debt level (2X debt to cash flow) is a little bit higher than average, so trades at a bit of a discount. Her comfort level is 2X or less debt to cash flow. Have a few thousand barrels a day so she is staying with it. Thinks the forecast for next year will be a higher stock price. You have to watch.
With natural gas prices recovering, he sees them trading at under 2.5X cash flow. NAV shows to be $7. At the current price, it is trading at a very significant discount. Production results should come out in the next week or two.
Just received an offer to be acquired by Pengrowth (PGF.UN-T). They get the Harmattan holdings and the remaining properties will be spun off into a new company, possibly called Argosy Resources. If you own, tender to the takeover. You should also take advantage of being able to buy the shares in the new company.
