RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:I readSo the question begs, why is Peyto so good at some things and seemingly so bad at others?
Will they smarten up in that regard? pay down debt some, buy back some shares? Or are the shares a means to keeping it on the TSX?
We all agree that when the stock was under $2 it was a fantastic time to buy back some shares at least. The savings in dividends alone would have been fantastic.
Or were they hamstrung by the banks and not allowed to spend any money buying back stock?
Lets look at this another way. Say if prices today were still $1.50 or so, how many firms would still be around? Many would go under similar to in the U.S. You can't have it both ways. They played it safe as they could, tried some new things and got burned but very quickly are back in the drivers seat.
The next four months will give us a much better idea of what they are planning this year and next.
The NG Generating station is a fairly big issue, but really not that huge but in a constrained egress capacity of years gone by it was a lot larger an issue than maybe now.
With LNG coming up soon, as soon as can be, mabye 3 years, maybe 7 or longer who knows, nothing goes in a straight line this will be good and bad.
If NG prices in Canada go too high it will generate the ire of all Canadians that us NG similar to the U.S. complaining about $3 gasoline, REALLY? entitled wimps.
CNQ started in the 80's, PEY around 2000 not comparable but both have grown from nothing. Whether PEY moves up the ladder against others is this really a necessity, bigger is not always better but PEY keeps adding land, plants, and production over time.
Is it takeout target, I really don't think so unless someone thought all the plants and land were just too good to not take out.
A lot on this board I know are looking at $20, $30 and way higher down the road for PEY, and it is entirely probable with the right pricing environment, right growth of production and stability of prices of NG and liguids.
