Likes their diversification within the industry. The proposed Alberta royalty changes will affect the conventional oil/gas companies and the impact could be fairly major. Expect this company would be affected by less than 10%. Sees their production growing from 350 million BOE a day to 425 over the next couple of years.
(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.
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.
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.
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.
Merging with Suncor (SU-T) and would prefer to buy this rather than Suncor as the deal risk is minimal. Thinks government and shareholders will let the deal go through. A cheaper way to go.
