jamieb3 - Linder on FE - RoBTV FEB 14
Well, I left the country for three weeks and have apparently returned to a bit of panic. Very juicy. If FE gets to the 6's, I'll be buying again, although the beer is a fine idea as well.
Seems as if many newer retailers have gotten used to an all-energy-all-the-time portfolio that does nothing but go up. Now, it's pain time and starting to become interesting.
I think Feb/March will be a lot worse for energy names than October was, and this sell-off isn't nearly over. There is very clearly a short-term oversupply of NG that could take months or even a year to clear. However, as usual, the sell-off will get overdone, and there will be bargains to be had for the more saavy and patient longs.
In the meantime, maybe buy some MFC and T, and, for pain-taking solace, have a look at a five-year chart of Micky D's:

Oh, and I might also mention that Alberta's natgas production peaked in - get this - 1984.

What you're seeing is a whole lot of painting the tape. I do not believe that $7.75 trade yesterday, then again I didn't believe the $8.55 last week either.
If we get down to the $6.65 territory I am shtting down this computer and going to for a beer til about June.

I have been looking at Daylight (day.un) as a trust play but haven't pulled the trigger yet. It was actually down to almost $11 today which gives it a 19% yield. I may swap right out of FE and into Daylight and just let it ride. I agree ECA is interesting. They are probably going to own all the nat gas sooner or later.

Interesting. What's the story with Daylight? Also, would this be a trade or a longer-term holding for you?
