RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:When to start a position on LRE? One of the benefits of putting stress on the Canadian oil sector is it puts extra pressure to build pipelines to the west coast so that Canada can send its oil and gas into the world market, rather than the US market.
This is critical to the Canadian oil and gas sector. If it becomes critical to the Canadian Economy as well, then it becomes critical to all Canadians, not just those in the Oil/Gas industry. That kind of urgency makes things happen, and cuts through red tape, and burocratic interferance.
That phrase, the solution to low prices is low prices is true in many ways.
Lastly I want to mention T B Pickins. His view should be given tremendous weight - he is the warren buffet of oil.
With respect to LRE's management team, I remember one presentation when the CEO was asked about drilling their Duvernay lands. This was back with the Duvernay was the in thing, and the talk of the street. The cost would have been about 10 million, and LRE could easily have afforded it. The CEO's reply, was that he prefered to spend that $10 million on lower production, sure thing wells. A very unexciting reply, and disappointing to those wrapped up in the Duvernay excitement of the day, but it was the perfect thing to hear to confirm LRE is managed by a highly risk adverse CEO, who is more interested in boring things like cutting costs, than swinging for the fences.
In a price challenging environment as we find outselves right now, a risk adverse CEO is exactly what we want.
LRE's go slow, play it safe, risk adverse management style has held the stock price back as it lacked the excitement and speculative protential of some of its competitors. Its very reassuring to know the conservative approach thats driving this company in this present stormy environement.
