PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 22/18, Down 88%) He sold at $3.22, taking a big loss. They have a lot of worries. They are looking to sell the company. They might just liquidate the company, but clean up could be very expensive. He does not like stock consolidations and used that as a trigger to get out. He would not buy this now. He made a mistake -- when debt came down, so too did revenues.

RISKY
They have put themselves up for sale. They are a Cardium player with quite a bit of debt. They have a lot of non-producing wells. People are worried about how much value there really is in the company after debts are paid off.

DON'T BUY
New interim president and CEO. Pretty good numbers on cardium wells. Issue is the debt. Debt is 22% of equity, but it's going the wrong way. Declining production and volumes. Not as attractive as the others. Need to show they can grow core numbers of the cardium. Guidance is negative. Capex is about equal to cash flow.

HOLD
A takeover candidate? He was wrong with this. He recently moved it from a buy to a hold. It's high-risk and high-reward, has "danger" written across it. He likes the idea of a takeover, but doesn't know if it'll happen. This could be a good play in oil/gas with a lot of potential. He hasn't sold it, but at the same bankruptcy remains a real possibility.

TOP PICK
They had over $3 Billion in debt but it is down to $408 Million due to them selling off a lot of assets. They had to hedge to survive and they all come off in the new year. The company loses money quarter after quarter, but that could change. There is huge insider buying. A major property of theirs came in on time and under budget.

Stock performance has been horrible. Have spectacular assets but it is a confidence factor. Market, because of where the yield is, has zero confidence in their ability to sustain the dividend. Part of the negativity comes out of historical capital efficiencies and the company has suffered because they have been deemed to be inefficient. Also, has too much financial leverage. Sold his holdings. Thinks there is big risk of a dividend cut.
