| PAST TOP PICK | 3.300 | Joseph Schachter | (A Top Pick June 20/05. Up 6%.) There will be 2 companies coming out of this, one an asset play and the other will be the Fort Liard play. Still likes. Feels it is worth 10/15% more than what it is trading at. | 2005-09-26 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.220 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | Has some interesting assets. Had a number of acquisitions recently which gave them some diversification. The assets they acquired are not his favourites. Wait and see. | 2005-08-15 | |
| HOLD | 3.330 | Joseph Schachter | Doing a takeover. Selling the core of their assets and going to spin off 2 of their explorecos. The deal will probably close sometime in October and each of the explorecos could see some upside. | 2005-08-02 | |
| TOP PICK | 3.120 | Joseph Schachter | This company has been in the dog house. Looking for them to sell $20/30 million in non-core assets to clean up the balance sheet. Have some key areas. | 2005-06-20 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.630 | Joseph Schachter | Did 4,086 BOE's a day in the first quarter and $0.12 cash flow. In the process of selling $20/30 million of non-core assets which will reduce the debt load to below $30 million which would be 1 to 1 debt to cash flow. Also doing work in Fort Liaird with possible production this summer. | 2005-06-10 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.300 | Joseph Schachter | Stumbled about 2 years ago, and stock's been in the dog house. Doing 4900 to 5000 BOE's a day. Two problems: 1) haven't grown, but that's now starting to change and 2) balance sheet problem which they are working on by selling $30 million of non-core assets to take their debt down below $30 million. Also had very good success with Anadarko (APC-N) which has brought on significant production. | 2005-05-06 | |
| HOLD | 2.420 | Joseph Schachter | Has been a disappointment. Will be meeting with them next week and will update his model. Have a big debt problem. | 2005-03-31 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.350 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | Not one of his favourites. A large part of its assets are tied up in the Fort Liard area of NW Territories. Centred on one play. Had water in some of the gas wells. | 2005-03-30 | |
| BUY | 3.070 | Joseph Schachter | Stock has been languishing. Have started bringing on the Fort Liard 2M-25. Having Paramount as the operator was a very good move. Expects 5,000 BuE's a day in 2004, exiting at 6,200. | 2004-11-08 | |
| WAIT | 2.450 | Joseph Schachter | Has a very good suite of assets but Chevron Texaco are now selling those assets. Have to know who the new owner is and what their game plan is. | 2004-05-19 | |
| WAIT | 2.400 | Joseph Schachter | The reserve picture numbers are pretty good but they haven't shown much material growth with their merger. Have to show some exploration success. | 2004-04-02 | |
| WEAK BUY | 2.900 | David Cockfield | Have some very interesting properties in the Fort Laird area which are complex and have put a couple of companies out of business. Reasonably experienced management. Speculation. | 2004-03-05 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.700 | John Clarke | Hugely undervalues on price to cash flow basis. Disappointed in the past. | 2004-01-28 | |
| HOLD | 2.500 | David Cockfield | Their main drilling area is in the north west territories and they need the winter season to take hold in order to get drilling equipment in. | 2003-12-30 | |
| WATCH | 2.800 | Joseph Schachter | Just released results that were disappointing on the production side.Management has not done a good job in keeping the investment community apprised of the situation. | 2003-08-22 | |
