He says this company has assets in Turkey where natural gas is priced three times higher than Canada. The company has not completely tested their well there and their pilot well will not be online until 2019. Over 95% of Turkey’s natural gas is imported, so the potential is great.

He thinks this company has very good prospects. The stock price indicates the market likes what they have done with the drill bit. He thinks as they continue to put the pieces in place the stock price will go higher and will become a potential target for a take-out.

(Top Pick Jan 29/13, Down 50.00%) He was out and bought a little bit back recently. Issues in Turkey are not helping. Still has a significant amount of cash and is trading just above that. Turned the corner on the production side. He would buy it back here but prefers ALV here because it trades below its cash balance.

International oil/gas sector has been hammered. Really likes management, the former management team on Verenex, that grew production and ultimately sold for a triple. Quietly and slowly building out their asset base in Turkey. Half the market cap is in cash and ready to be spent on one light oil field and one heavy oil field in Turkey. Meanwhile their base production, natural gas in Turkey (going to Europe), continues to turn out some nice cash flows. Using Fracing techniques.
