| HOLD | 19.850 | Dennis Da Silva | Have been hurt more than domestic producers. It is oil focused so you have the full benefit of strong oil prices. Very high prospectivity.. Not drilling 100000 barrel per day wells. They are 5000 barrels per day. It is a name that is starting to get very interesting to him. Good growth profile. | 2012-01-24 | |
| Comment | 20.560 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | Chart shows a downtrend from early 2011. Last year wasn't a good place to be. If you own, put a Stop in at $15.20. Had a good day today and is starting to move into the space where the market kind of wants to go. There are a few charts out there that look better than this. | 2012-01-19 | |
| Comment | 18.180 | Jason Donville | Frustrating company. ROC shows up really strong but it just seems to be ignored. He prefers Freehold (FRU-T) as it gives a very nice distribution and a play on the upside. | 2012-01-16 | |
| HOLD | 16.950 | John Stephenson | The bloom is off the rose for some of the Colombian producers but this has the potential to go back. This is a good one. Hold on until you get into the $20's and then start lightening up. | 2011-12-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | 16.300 | Bill Harris, CFA | The worst time to sell any stock. All the Columbia stories have come off. PMG really throws off a lot of cash. He would want to see bit of a base. | 2011-12-13 | |
| BUY | 22.500 | John Stephenson | Had a pretty good last quarter. Valuation is much better and you could wade in and be relatively safe. Downside would be fairly modest at this point but considerable upside. | 2011-11-15 | |
| Comment | 19.990 | Michael Decter | Slow down is a combination of several factors. 1) Slowdown in the market after it had a huge run up with people taking profits. 2.) Oil prices have come off. 3.) Heavy oil producer creating some concern. 4.) In Colombia that has a bit of political turmoil. Solid company with a big future ahead of it. | 2011-10-03 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 28.540 | Jeff Parent B. Eng. FCSI | (A Top Pick June 9/10. Up 13.07%.) Sold his holdings at $34.44. | 2011-07-04 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 34.960 | Peter Hodson | (A Top Pick March 30/10. Up 4.72%.) | 2011-04-26 | |
| Comment | 37.680 | Bill Harris, CFA | Petrobank Energy (PBG-T) recently spun out their shares. Oil price is getting at the high end of his comfort range. Success they’ve had in drilling comes with high declines. Have an incredible drilling inventory in front of them but stock price is high and if anything goes wrong the stock price will collapse. Not a value investment anymore. | 2011-01-24 | |
| DON'T BUY | 32.170 | Bill Harris, CFA | Pretty expensive right now and going through a high decline rate period. You should wait and see how production settles down. | 2010-12-16 | |
| DON'T BUY | 25.530 | Jeff Parent B. Eng. FCSI | Doesn’t like owning it. Has very short term rallies. | 2010-10-08 | |
| DON'T BUY | 24.750 | Eric Nuttall | Management is quite good, especially on the technical side. Concern that he has is the base decline on their production. They generate a lot of cash flow. | 2010-08-24 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 26.080 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | Good upward trend from early 2009 followed by a drop earlier this year. Pretty good support around $23 with some resistance at around $34. Try to buy at the support level. | 2010-08-18 | |
| DON'T BUY | 29.120 | David Cockfield | A little concerned that numbers haven't been that great recently. Good dividend. Would prefer Pacific Rubiales (PRE-T). | 2010-08-06 | |
| Comment | 30.000 | Peter Hodson | Market is not rewarding companies that are doing well because of what might happen in the future. This company has done nothing but create great, great results and beat expectations but the stock is not doing much. Stock price will go up $10-$15 in a good market. | 2010-07-22 | |
| TOP PICK | 25.250 | Jeff Parent B. Eng. FCSI | Oil and gas player in Columbia. Spin off from Petrobank. This stock took off way to high and started to come back. We just came back to the trend line. $32 is going to be the next resistance level. At $22 he would get out also. | 2010-06-09 | |
| BUY | 26.600 | Michael Smedley | (Market Call Minute.) Has done brilliantly in Columbia. | 2010-05-27 | |
| BUY | 33.320 | David Burrows | (Market Call Minute.) Likes it because there are big opportunities with the drill bit. Had some fabulous results in the recent couple of weeks. | 2010-03-31 | |

| TOP PICK | 34.100 | Peter Hodson | A true growth company. Average 4th quarter daily production from oil in Colombia was 22,000 and is currently 55,000. Their wells are so prolific that they are unhooking pipelines from old wells that are not producing enough. Great management. Will ultimately sell the company. | 2010-03-30 | |
| BUY | 19.960 | John Stephenson | Reasonable growth ahead of it. Could be a takeout candidate. | 2010-01-22 | |
| Comment | 17.210 | Laura Lau | Thinly traded because Petrobank (PBG-T) owns the majority of shares. Performing very well but most of the catalysts are out of it. | 2009-11-18 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 16.000 | Laura Lau | (A Top Pick Aug 14/09. Up 34.68%.) A Colombia player that will be very active over the next year. Still a Buy. | 2009-10-13 | |
| BUY | 14.820 | John Stephenson | Of all the Colombian oil/gas plays, this has probably the most potential upside in terms of its drilling inventory. This would be a Buy and Hold. | 2009-09-28 | |
| TOP PICK | 11.850 | Laura Lau | Have an active drilling program going forward. Very cheap at less than 3X debt adjusted cash flow. Have had a lot of success drilling in Colombia. | 2009-08-14 | |
| BUY | 11.850 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | Colombia and Peru have some of the best royalty regimes in the world right now. Some good capital gains to be had out of growing production and this company has indicated it will do so. High margins and high economic values. | 2009-05-20 | |
| BUY | 12.540 | Alexander Lane, B Comm, C | A Columbia subsidiary of Petrobank (PBG-T) and is one of his favourites in Western Canada. Good political changes and reforms. Have enormous prospects in an enormous amount of land. | 2008-07-23 | |
| BUY | 17.720 | Alex Ruus | (Market Call Minute.) Colombia is one of the most attractive regimes for oil/gas and they have lots of reserves there. | 2008-02-04 | |
| Comment | 20.220 | Alex Ruus | Prefers Petrobank Energy (PBG-T), which has 77% ownership in this company. | 2007-12-13 | |
| BUY | 19.900 | Michael Smedley | Prefers its parent, Petrobank (PBG-T) more. Very rich oil territory in Colombia. | 2007-12-12 | |
| HOLD | 18.710 | Michael Smedley | Petrobank (PBG-T) owns 60% or 70% of the stock. Extremely rich oil finds in Colombia. | 2007-11-27 | |
| Comment | 19.510 | Alex Ruus | Owns Petrobank (PBG-T), which has 77% of this company. Likes it going forward. Hasn’t looked at it for a few months and there has been a fair amount of value added to it, so not sure if it is fully priced or not. | 2007-11-05 | |
| BUY | 18.200 | Michael Smedley | Great oil reserves in Colombia. | 2007-10-31 | |
| BUY | 18.700 | Peter Hodson | In Colombia. Have a management and geological team that just keeps hitting well after well. Have a fabulous asset. He owns Petrobank (PBG-T), which owns a majority stake. | 2007-10-15 | |
| SELL | 17.270 | Adam Thomas | Have been in Colombia for quite some time and have had pretty significant discoveries in the Llanos Basin. Stock has been running lately because they are drilling the Corcel 2 well, which should be down probably in the next 2, 3 weeks. Getting expensive at these levels and he would suggest you take some profits. | 2007-10-05 | |
| DON'T BUY | 11.300 | Veronika Hirsch | Nice exploration play that has done well. Has had a huge run and would probably not buy at this point. | 2007-08-01 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 3.020 | Michael Smedley | (A Top Pick Oct 19/06. Down 28.1%.) Suffering from the Latin American left-wing blues. Also had a poor showing from one of their drillings. In very rich territory. | 2007-02-22 | |
| TOP PICK | 4.240 | Michael Smedley | Recent spin-off from Petrobank (PBG-T). Located in Colombia, in an extraordinary rich region surrounded by well-known giant companies. Up to 3500 barrels a day and expanding. Speculative. | 2006-10-19 |
