Paramount Resources (POU-T) is a company that carries a mixed outlook from various experts. One analyst appreciates its solid cash position and highlights its adept CEO, yet expresses caution due to the 50/50 split in its oil and gas narrative, particularly criticizing the weak Canadian natural gas pricing. Another expert views it as a mid-tier gas producer with favorable operational momentum and robust financial liquidity, especially after a recent asset sale to fund operational improvements. However, concerns linger about the state of Canadian gas prices, which may see improvements with the anticipated winter demand due to LNG Canada coming online. While the overall sentiment is cautious, there is optimism linked to potential crude oil price increases, indicating that the company could perform well under favorable market conditions despite a significant recent decline in stock value.

DON'T BUY
Natural gas prices are very depressed because storage is very high due to 2 warm winters. Unless there is a super, super cold winter, gas is going to stay low.
DON'T BUY
He has never liked this one. His model price is $4.67. A negative 73% differential. An asset play rather than an earnings play. Looked on for its reserves, not its earnings.
WEAK BUY
A good name with lots of potential. Low cost properties. Decent balance sheet. Oil sand leases. Good diversity. Has a heavy weighting towards natural gas, which is where the worrisome piece is. Gas weighted names are dead money for a while.
WEAK BUY
Like a lot of gas-exposed stocks, it is absolutely hated by the market at present. Natural gas is a no-brainer, long-term play. It is likely you will see some upside in gas prices at which point, this will be taken out or things start improving. Not his favourite.
WAIT
Have spun out some assets and are now a debt free natural gas company. She is not particularly bullish on natural gas prices in the next month or two. If it tests its low, she would view this as a fantastic entry point.
BUY
Sold their oil sands holdings so they now have the best balance sheet in the business, debt-free, net cash. Expect they will make acquisitions during the period of cheap gas.
BUY
Very attractively valued. Have great assets. Management is very good long-term strategic thinker.
COMMENT
Sold a lot of assets and I are sitting on a large amount of cash. Expect there will be an accelerated amount of M&A activity in the oil patch. The stock is nearing a bottom here.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 27/06. Down 41.4%.) Had a couple of oil sands plays a year ago. Sold those assets and is now 100% gas, which is out of favour. Debt-free balance sheet. Expect they will buy cheap gas assets in the next little while and the stock will be substantially higher a year from now. Great entry point.
BUY
He likes it still. Some people leave the stock when the commodities are weak, but when you see the commodity going up they pick up as well.
BUY
Has been in the middle of selling it's 9 core assets (oil sands). Feels the restructuring was done in a very smart way and now have the best balance sheet in the industry. Market doesn't understand the restructuring and has unfairly punished stock for it.
BUY
Has historically been used as a gas proxy. Stocks get valued on their producing assets, but Paramount has all these other "off-balance sheet" assets. Very unique in that space. Nothing enthusiastic, but a good way to play.
DON'T BUY
Has just had a fairly good run from $16 to $26.50. It doesn't have any earnings. No mispriced assets here. His model price is $6.23. A 76% negative differential.
COMMENT
Not one of their favourites, but they seem to be in the right place.
TOP PICK
Varied asset portfolio. No debt. Have shares in MGM and Trilogy, which they can distribute and become a pure play, debt-free 20,000 BOE's a day gas company. Could end up going private.
