TSE:VET
Tourmaline vs. Vermillion TOU is well-managed. Natural gas has enjoyed nice pop lately. He likes VET for their acquisitions, because they can access an international price on oil (not the much-lower WCS), and have seen strong growth in recent years as the valuation has decreased. Balance sheet is solid.
About 66% of production lies outside Canada. It's trading cheaper than historically. He sees cash flow per share growth. Safe dividend. Good balance sheet. Market didn't like their last quarter because of weakness/concerns in the Caribbean and European operations. They made some acquisitions that'll benefit them. Buy if you feel oil will top $60-70.
Has long owned this, one of the few oils he has. Money isn't flowing into this sector, but leaving. Oil needs to find buyers. It's not a good sign when Canadian companies seek opportunities in the U.S. It says a lot about Alberta. Vermillion has 60% of its earnings outside Canada and fetches international prices. It's unfortunate, the state of Canadian oil.
