(Top Pick Jan 20/09, Up 61%) Did very well for two reasons. Management team assembled a fantastic core asset. Profits are robust. They also had a small amount of oil production as a hedge. Now they will be more tied to gas price.
(Top Pick Jan 20/09, Up 81%) The cash flow fully funds exploration for this year. This is going to be fun but bumpy. You have to be prepared for it to be a roller coaster. The management certainly has the skills.
Likes it because it is all heavy oil. In a very enviable position. Low risk. Given profits, distribution is not at risk. They can pay it out AND fund their program.
Had great success finally. Enviable asset base. They continue to grow. It’s a gas stock, but they are drilling some really exciting exploration wells this winter.
Purely an expiration stock. Everyone was waiting for their latest drilling results but they did not have the equipment to hit their zone of interest. Trades on sentiment and noise.
Likes it because she likes heavy oil. Large contiguous asset base. Very repeatable. No exploration risk. Just drilling really boring 50 barrel per day oil wells. Makes tones of money and they can double their production this year. New public company and has not done marketing so it is undervalued.
NOTE: EME-T used to be the symbol for Emergis, which was acquired by Telus in 2008 and the symbol is now assigned to Emerge Oil and Gas.
This is low hanging fruit on the oil side. The growth is just on assets that they have. It’s very well valued in the market – it’s not expensive. Growth is just on assets and the management team has done it before.
Still has those huge production increases from drilling on their existing assets. They are doing exploration as well, but you don’t need it for growth.
