[Caller Asked About a Spin Off not yet trading] Prefers to buy the IPO. Encana is being brought into a focus on 5 plays. Part of this is spinning out of this entity that they call Prairie Sky. They want to build a company where they bring in companies that get royalty. It all comes down to the pricing of this IPO.
One of the few large cap stocks he owns. Likes the free cash flow generating ability of their natural gas assets. They recently did an acquisition that has fee simple lands, as opposed to crown lands. The own the mineral rights under the ground. They could let another company operate on it and get the royalty income from their operations right off the top. You could see a couple of bucks from this.
Markets. We saw an inflexion point recently where fund managers are beginning to come back into this space. There is a lot of US money coming in here. He had been waiting a long time for this in this space. He thinks there are upside scenarios for oil prices. The inventory picture changed through the year as it was the coldest year in a longtime. In Canada it has almost reached crisis proportions. The producers have a big job to do to refill those inventory levels by the beginning of the next heating season. This is a better natural gas picture than we have seen for a long time. He decided not to go headlong into the gas trade, but to increase exposure to balance producers that have exposure to gas as well.
