BUY ON WEAKNESS
Q1 numbers were not as robust as expected. With a higher natural gas prices, a lot of companies are beating cash flow because gas prices are higher than what analysts are using in their models. Is hoping that the bump up in production will come in the 2ND and 3rd quarters. If that happens, you may see a stock price in the mid-$20's. Buy under $17.
HOLD
100% gas producer. Gas prices have moved from $8 to the $11 range, which is not a lot. This is why it has not been a favourite with the analysts.
DON'T BUY
Gas production dropped from about 20,000 BOEs a day 1 year ago to about 14,000. Diverting money into many different companies that are not producing growth. There are better gas plays.
COMMENT
Have a lot of cash on hand. We'll be using this, not only for cap-x, but acquisitions going forward. We will continue to see in the oil/gas sector a lot of trading of properties.
SELL
This has not been one of his favourites. This company has had mixed results over time. Their asset base looks good, but the actual carrying on to fruition on some projects has been pretty spotty. There are better places to go.
HOLD
Medium sized gas producer. It has had its moments recently with the natural gas price recovery. Sold its oilsands assets over a year ago. Tremendous balance sheet. Had expected they would make an acquisition at the bottom, but disappointingly there has been no announcement. He is still going to hang in because on an asset value based it is cheap, but he is getting antsy for an announcement. Thinks gas prices will be higher in the fall so it is fine.
BUY
Has good value in it. Could have a very un-levered balance sheet and isn't trading at an enormous multiple.
BUY
No news on making acquisitions. Strangely quiet. They have a 10 year view of the market so they can afford to buy at the bottom. When you do see an acquisition, that will likely signal a bottom in natural gas. Not a bad place to hide at this price.
HOLD
Drilling in North Dakota. He is hoping that they have acquisition news because in selling their oil sands for over $1 billion, they paid off all their debts. The best balance sheet of any gassy producer. This is a long-term, positive position on gas.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.)
BUY
Sold all of their oil sands and paid off their debt. Sitting on cash and have the best balance sheet by far in all of Canadian energy. It is 85% gas and he is not positive on gas prices but they could make acquisitions, so could be a good long-term hold.
HOLD
If you are looking for something short term this won't do, due to the low price of natural gas at this time. But if you already have it, hold it, but be aware of how it fits into your whole portfolio.
SELL
Would avoid this one like the plague.
BUY
One of the stronger energy names in the oil patch. Produce about 18,000 barrels and have about $150 million in cash. In a weaker Canadian market, it is a safer place to be.
BUY
Natural gas. Very cheap. Fabulous balance sheet. Paid down their debt and are sitting on cash. Sharp management.
