They have significant assets in the core area that will benefit from LNG. They had a tough second quarter and production came in because they shut in some production. The fourth quarter is going to be good. He thinks they can buy down debt next year. It is a higher beta stock and not owned by institutions. They could be a takeover candidate 3 or 4 years down the road.

DON'T BUY
He is bullish on Albertan-based natural gas because we have declining production and supply, increased take away capacity and inventories are at a 10 year low. The winter will eventually come and then there is the prospect of depleting storage. A lot of Nat gas companies have hedged away their Alberta gas exposure. Pony still leaves him a little uncomfortable, however. He likes BRK-T, TOU-T and ARX-T. The balance sheet of PONY-T leaves him pause.

TSX. Before, the macro environment was making a huge difference and all stocks were moving in the same direction. Over the last 12 months or so, especially the last 6 months, companies that are doing well operationally have been rewarded with higher multiples and those that are not are getting entrenched. It is better now for “stock pickers” like him. He looks at fundamentals of each individual company, looking for growth at a reasonable price. When the market becomes more comfortable overall, it trickles down to the small caps and this has really been shown in the US where the Russell 2000 has really outperformed. In Canada, small caps have underperformed in the last couple of years. As the TSX moves higher, money is going to start to flow to small cap names. Likes Canadian small caps but, on the resource side, you have to be very, very picky because a lot of the companies in the resource sector may run out of money. Make sure that they are low cash cost and have a half decent balance sheet and able to fund themselves.
