DON'T BUY

In Columbia. 2500 BOE per day. Want to double by end of year and double again next year. You are paying a premium for the management. Sees this stock being range bound. Prefers GTE-T
Up about 75% this month on the back of the expectation of a significant oil discovery. Potential for 50% increase in reserves. Solid management but missed on every guidance since they’ve gone public. Prefers others even though there is good upside in the name.
Sold his holdings because there were things they were doing that he couldn’t understand. Also the type of drilling they were doing and they didn’t know the answer to. Inexpensive and they are now building things out. If you are a speculator, it could turn out very well.
Never delivered on a single quarter from the time that they were public, which is a cause for concern. Had internal problems on how they were accounting for production. Current assets are worth about $0.25 and the stock is worth $0.29. Thinks its dead money.
Colombia. Gone under a re-organization. Had management issues and stock plunged in early January. Since then have done an equity issue. Brought in a new COO and looking for a new CEO. Feels stock has bottomed. Good level. A “show me” story but a significant asset story.
