Whitecap (WCP-T), Crescent Point (CPG-T) or Cardinal Energy (CJ-T)? A really great company and doing a really great job. Low cost oil. Very focused plays. However, if you beat it up and you really have oil sit at $15, it gets in trouble. It looks like they want to build a big company, but are really paying up for things.
This is in his group of great companies. Gas price has just had this run because of the hot summer weather, so he would wait. They don’t have a lot of debt and have about $1 billion of hard asset value, such as pipes and plants. However, on cash flow at this gas price, they are still committed to spending $1.1 billion, and the cash flow 6 weeks ago look like it was going to be $600 million. Gas price needs to go higher. Sold his holdings into this run, and moved his money into TransCanada (TRP-T).
Markets. So far we have seen pretty good earnings from some of the companies that have reported to date. Overall he is happy and, if anything, has probably seen a bit of an earnings trough going back a quarter or 2. Starting to see some acceleration both from revenue and earnings across the board. Valuation on Canadian banks, especially when compared to the US, are sky high, and is something he is watching, but feels we will see some kind of pick up in inflation going over the next 12 months which will increase interest rates and which will be positive for bank earnings.
Because of its limited history, it doesn’t really rank well in his process from a fundamental standpoint. Technically it ranks very well and has nice, strong price momentum. He would like to see some earnings and solid cash flow before getting involved. At this time, price momentum and technical aspects look very strong and are going in the right direction.
Owns this in his “growth” portfolio. The stock has started to accelerate again. It has basically been building a base. Trading at about 40X earnings, so is very expensive and probably scares a lot of people off. Have been growing earnings at about 40% a year, so from a price earnings to growth ratio, you are paying a reasonable valuation. However, if there’s any type of hiccup the stock will sell off.
