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.
Up until the end of 2016, they sell a lot of their natural gas through an area called Station 2. This is a hub where there has been a huge increase in gas production, so there are times when Station 2 was below $1. That has recovered somewhat, but is still weak. Fortunately they have 43% hedged next year at $3. Has a deal with Altagas (ALA-T), where Altagas now owns 75%. They are helping to fund the plant that will increase take away capacity. In his mind this could be a $4-$5 stock next year. Not a long-term trade in his mind.
