Obsidian Energy (OBE-T) has been described as having a somewhat contentious CEO, which may raise concerns among potential investors regarding leadership and decision-making. Despite these issues, the company has reported fairly good well results, indicating some level of operational efficiency and potential for growth. However, the overall market cap of Obsidian Energy is considered too small to attract significant attention from institutional investors, making it less relevant in their portfolios. Many experts suggest that there are better investment opportunities available, which may pose a challenge for the company in gaining traction in a competitive market. Overall, while there are some positive facets to the company's operations, the leadership and market positioning raise questions about its attractiveness as an investment option.

COMMENT

Has been a disappointment. The positive is their huge oil/gas land position. Unless they raise more capital or sell more assets, they are a little tight and he is concerned about distributions.

HOLD

Positioning itself for the transition into a Corp with a 5%-8% dividend yield and a modest growth rate. This one is actively on his Watch list.

BUY

5th largest production in Canada. How do you get growth in a company this large but lately have been looking at Pembina Cardium using horizontal drilling as applied to oil. If projections are correct, they could move the needle significantly.

HOLD

This is a solid hold. You want to own reserves in politically safe areas.

DON'T BUY

Mixture of oil/gas. Some great assets in the Pembina area. Expects distribution will come down when it changes to a corporation. Likes but hasn't performed as well as others. Will take a lot of capital to keep the company growing.

TOP PICK

Largest landholder in Pembina Cardium, largest base of oil assets in Canada. Using horizontal fraqing and water flood technologies (gas technique) in oil that could possibly increase recoveries by 15%-20%, which would double reserves. 9% yield. Good tax pools for protection in 2011.

SELL

Had got into a situation where they were growing for the sake of growing. Got to 200,000 BOE is a day, which was very difficult to sustain and as a result there was a significant decline. Starting to address their issues. Have some good resource plays. Expect they will cut their distribution going forward.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Not his favourite one but not so bad either. Reasonable play in the sector.

TOP PICK

Have struggled with some issues but thinks they are getting these solved. Distribution is sustainable so the stock is undervalued.

HOLD

5th largest oil/gas producer in the country with about 170,000 daily barrels of oil. Has struggled lately but is now focusing on horizontal drilling on the oil side.

DON'T BUY

The trust is over soon. The company is gearing up for post-tax-protection. These companies are all in a transition phase and this is a risk. It’s going from an income investor to an equity investor. Many of these companies will have to cut back or eliminate distributions.

TRADE

Trying to build up its oil presence. It is working on becoming a growth stock. May not continue to pay out a high yield.

HOLD

Have substantial tax pools so you can hope that they can defer taxes out until 2012-2013. Good company. 11% yield.

DON'T BUY

Excellent resource base with some very promising properties including Seal. Running against a pretty steep decline curve, so every year have to replace about 40,000 barrels a day of production. Trying to do it with the balance sheet, which is fairly stretched.

COMMENT

Has a head and shoulders bottom with a neckline that it seems to be breaking. If the volume is spiking it could be a very good play. He likes to see a 25% increase in volume. 11.1% yield.
