This summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.

Paramount Resources (POU-T) has received mixed reviews from various experts, primarily focused on the challenges associated with its heavy reliance on natural gas, which is currently facing weak pricing in Canada. While some experts praise the management and highlight strong financial liquidity and growth potential, concerns persist about the lack of oil exposure and negative sentiment regarding Canadian natural gas prices. The company's recent asset sales to enhance operations show proactive management, but doubts linger over the current market cycle for natural gas. Overall, while there is appreciation for the company's operational capabilities, hesitation exists regarding the feasibility of significant returns in the natural gas sector at this time, particularly for investors who prefer more oil exposure.

PARTIAL SELL
Hard to understand because it has a relatively high cost and convoluted ownership structure. Fairly gassy weighted. Doesn't seem to have any obvious catalyst to move it higher. Big upswing recently and he would be tempted to sell half your holdings.
COMMENT
Has ownership of a number of different energy companies. Just recently started to make a move and thinks this will continue.
HOLD
Natural gas. Good operators and great land spread in Western Canada. Very strong balance sheet. On a 3 to 5 year time horizon he thinks the stock is potentially a double.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) Gas oriented. Sort of turning the corner and is dependent on your natural gas view. Prefers Progress Energy (PRQ-T).
DON'T BUY
90% natural gas. Chronic under performer in terms of being able to deliver growth on a per-share basis. Great way to play natural gas but if you are a fundamental investor that likes good costs discipline, this is not for you.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Up costs (?) are high. Debt is reasonable but she doesn't see any catalyst ahead.
HOLD
More of a conventional gas producer. Recently heavy debt load but not extraordinary. Can't see any upside case to be made for this right now. See gas price recovery at least 6 months away and maybe a year.
HOLD
Clean balance sheet. A lot of cash, which could be deployed to make some acquisitions. The ones that are doing well have some distinctive strategy and he can’t see a catalyst to get this going.
BUY
Very gassy. Has come off with the whole group. Has a good balance sheet so wouldn't be surprised if they become an acquirer of some cheap assets. If your time horizon is 6 months, it will probably lag on the upside but longer term it is very good value.
DON'T BUY
Fairly gas weighted. He tends to be more bullish on the oil side of things. Feels there are better names such as Encana (ECA-T).
HOLD
This is the kind of market were a good balance sheet and great assets haven't saved you. He can see them finally making some good acquisitions.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Likes gas. Great management team that will make you money.
HOLD
Not sure you should be in a weak gas environment and a weak producing area. Doesn't know that they have demonstrated that they are ahead of the curve.
DON'T BUY
The price is coming down with the price of oil. It’s a solid company, but there are other good quality companies out there as well.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Has been kind of a dog in the market and a lot of the analysts hate it. Their North Dakota project (Bakken extension?) could be huge.
