AvenEx Energy Corp (AVF-T)

Recently announced they will be merging with Pace Oil (PCE-T) and Charger Energy (CHX-X) into a new company called Spyglass and stock price has dropped. Believes this is because of the aggregation of the 3 enterprises and their relative values as of today. A “show me” story. Has confidence in management.

Looks like they did not have to cut the dividend after all. He could see someone buying it. It is not following nat. gas prices any more. You can hold it, there is no further short term problem.

High-yielding with a 13.5% dividend. About half oil and half gas. Cut the dividend last spring worrying about natural gas prices dropping drastically over the summer but since then North America had a hot summer so natural gas storage looks better. Surprised the stock isn’t a bit higher. Payout ratio is only about two thirds.

Junior oil/gas producer that cut the dividend, to his surprise. It has continued to decline to the point where that he has started thinking about it as a possible re-buy at some stage. They were pretty close to the edge as far as cash flow goes and, as well, they are about half gas. If prices stay where they are, they are completely fine. Payout ratio is 65% on a run rate. They could cut the dividend again. He is going to wait 3 months through the shoulder season and if gas doesn’t go down and they haven’t cut, it will probably be pretty clear and they might look at it.
