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.
Had concerns earlier this year on the logistics of incremental pipe being laid down to accommodate the growth that the company has. They have a very ambitious growth plan. This year, debt peaks out at maybe 2.8X debt to cash flow, and goes down steadily after that as incremental volumes start to be realized. Have done a fantastic job in every year of getting better and better at drilling wells in Northeast BC. A long-term Hold if you are constructive on gas.
