They had to cut their dividend, because they were nowhere close to earning it.Metal prices are strong and likely to get stronger.The new equity issue has strengthened the balance sheet.

The company is making headway in continuing to reduce costs and improve margins. They are seeing more competition in the Canadian market.Thinks the stock can move significantly higher.

A little too skewed to oil for his liking.A decent company.

Have a lot of property along the route of the Mackenzie delta pipeline.However, this could take a long time.If you're buying, do it based on their core business.

A well-run company.Getting near its high-end.Buy in the low $20's.Good growth prospects going forward.

They have some major refinancing over the next several years.Expecting $4 to $4.60 next year in cash flow.That would mean an $18 stock.

A lot of money is going out to pay for debt, and dividends.They have grown their cash position, but it under a lot of strain.Metals are becoming popular, but the stock is not attracting investors.
