I gotta agree cashtango , there is something else happening here that makes me question what I am missing . Today's trading was totally divorced from the sector or the market trends and I don't believe that a yahoo finance blurp was the reason . I said yesterday today's trading would come down to the talkingheads spin but to be honest , bnn never mentioned MEG once today . MEG has no PR skills , hell most Canadians have never heard of this company . Today MEG experienced a buyers strike as liquidity chased better performance while the sellers squeezed shaky holders .
Until the market takes these guys seriously , I think this will be destined to drift aimlessly . Toronto loves to hate O&G and an obscure O&G company is merely shark bait , a piggy bank to be raided , certainly not an investment .
heavy oils will be a little frustrating until WCS differencials shrink. As soon as it starts to show a meaningful move, it will rip. Until then, have fun complaining aboht algos, bad PR, whatever. That aint it. You invested in a heavy oil pureplay. It is trading as such.
