Petro-Canada
PCA-T
TOP PICK
Mar 24, 2005
There isn't a better way to play the energy outlook in Canada on the integrated side, particularly if you are looking beyond this year and next and you're interested in medium and long term into 2006/2007. That's where you'll see the real growth coming. Current level does not reflect the higher commodity prices. Margins on their refining is looking better now.
Merging with Suncor (SU-T). The reason to buy either is that they have a production profile that could grow dramatically. If you are positive on energy over the next little while, it makes a ton of sense to have a senior company like this.
Merger with Suncor (SU-T) is pretty much a done deal. Doesn't think this will go any higher so he would sell and pick up more Suncor, which is in the penalty box right now.
Merger with Suncor (SU-T) makes all the sense in the world. Very good combination. You get the oil sands along with a cash flow that will come from their more conventional assets.
(A Top Pick Oct 16/08. Up 107%.) (Now Suncor (SU-T)) A dominant player. Well diversified across gas, oil, oil sands, upstream, downstream. Will be the bellwether stock in the oil/gas industry.
