Stockchase Opinions

John Stephenson Petrolifera Petroleum Ltd. PDP-T SELL Mar 05, 2008

Wouldn't be a big buyer of this name. Thinks it is an execution risk. Active in Argentina, which recently put on some export controls, which would cap the upside on what people could get for the commodity.

It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for managing and tracking your investments.

You might be interested:

WAIT
Had a lot of hope built into it, but it turned out the costs were a lot higher. Wait for another quarter to make sure you get more news and that it is fully digested.
BUY
Have a 55 well program planned. Have new rigs coming in and will then you will see one well a week coming out. Internally financed. 20,000 barrels a day.
WATCH
5 million acres in Peru and are hugely prolific. Hd great success and know what they are doing. Doesn't seem to get the respect it deserves. Would rather buy after they have had some success and then buy the rest of their acreage as opposed to the first one.
HOLD
Have been having some interesting discoveries in Argentina. Struggled this year because of lower success in exploration and Argentina legislative issues towards oil/gas. Prefers others such as Oilexco (OIL-T), Pan Orient (POE-X) and TriStar Oil (TOG-T).
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Growing their production very dramatically. This stock got whacked with Argentina’s higher royalty regime. At this stage, probably not a bad Buy.
DON'T BUY
Have done very well with the drill bit. Their problem is Argentina, which is using extortionist tactics that when oil gets above $45 there is no payday so netbacks are very low.
COMMENT
Has had a lot of success in Argentina initially and are now branching out into Peru, which is relatively low risk politically. Has been significant success in the South American countries. There is always an issue of access to market. Enough pipeline capacity? Prospectivity is there and is quite exciting.
WAIT
Cautions investors about offshore assets. Go to stocks that pay dividends or distributions.
HOLD
Hard to see it going much higher with the decline rates in some of their fields.
