STOCKCHASE

A US oriented company. Has an inexpensive process for refining heavy oil. They'll sell the process for royalties. A long ways down the road.

WATCH

1.650

Has a subsidiary that has a unique technique to process heavy oil into lighter oil and gasoline type products. In very it looks interesting and he is looking into this.

WEAK BUY

2.380

Trading off the expectation of a big project in the future. It might take 5/10 years to come together. Speculative.

David Baskin

Too volatile for him. Prefers the more stable, senior companies.

WEAK BUY

3.050

They have 3 big assets and any one of them have the ability to be a multibillion-dollar asset. They are all long-term so could take a while, but if any one of them work out it will be extraordinarily valuable. The stock is expensive and speculative.

DON'T BUY

3.370

This is a hard one to judge. They have taken heavy oil and made it into light oil through some sort of process which apparently now works. Would be cautious on this.

VAGUE

1.770

Mr, Friedland has taken on 3 of the biggest projects on the planet. Nothing is small. Everything has huge potential and takes huge amounts of capital. No production yet, but you never want to bet against him. He can't get his head around this one, so no recommendation.

WEAK BUY

2.730

Extremely difficult to assess where the price is going. Has 3 big projects and any one of them could be worth $1 billion. It will take time and money. It's incredibly exciting. Not a bad technical floor on the stock.

David Burrows

Has had very little pull-back in a space where there has been recent pull-backs in energy companies.

DON'T BUY

3.650

Recently found oil in foreign countries.

DON'T BUY

2.920

One of the most unique managers and promoters in the business. Could do an awful lot of growth in their existing oil business. They have 3 absolute massive plays on the planet and if any one of these things work out, the numbers are enormous. Wildly speculative.

2005-02-16

WEAK BUY

2.850

Has three enormous plays that could add a fantastic amount of value to the stock. Very expensive. Very speculative.

2005-01-07

DON'T BUY

3.130

Not one of their favourites. They're chasing some technologies that they feel are not too hopeful. Larger companies have been trying to develop similar technologies with limited success.

WAIT

2.900

There are a handful of projects in this and none of them are small. Taking massive shots in the dark. Would buy when everybody else gives up on it. A wild ride.

2004-10-29

DON'T BUY

2.640

Have some interesting prospects. A very small junior producer. Larger integrateds will make you more money with a lot less risk.

2004-09-30

DON'T BUY

2.280

Bill MacLachlan

Very speculative. A lot of uncertainty about their projects and if capital will be forthcoming to develop them.

David Baskin

Got much too high on promotion and hype. Not a fan.

2004-09-09

DON'T BUY

David Baskin

The price of the stock went up too high. Very volatile. Probably fully valued now. Prefers the larger companies.

DON'T BUY

2.650

Peter Hodson

Doesn't like the promotional aspect of the company but at this price it is a better buy. Big upside probably won't be for a couple of years. Expect there will be another promotional run and would sell at that time.

2004-07-08

WEAK BUY

2.780

The promoter is quite good at finding things and also at selling them at higher prices.
