Holding Back production to buy shares

Might be a good strategy. But it holds back the other 90 percent. Better to grow fcf and get a bump of at least 5 times. Simply put saving a dollar on the share but back saves about 75 million in total where as a twenty five cent bump in fcf per share should translate into a bump of a buck twenty five per share or around 800 million dollars in share value.This is how Mike Rose or Jim Ridell would look at it.

Exactly, ARC management are acting like kids that were given their Dads piggy bank and now they have broke it open and they have all their cash and flexibility they never had before with ARX being primarily a dry gas producer. Management can squander 75  million on Attachie, while they look to hire an new aboriginal negociator at the same time, when they can provide shareholders no

Your suggestion takes care of employees, contractors and management but does not consider the owners (me). Buying back shares when the price is low, like this, is the best way to go. When the share price is reasonable, production increases can be considered.

You could well be right. Time will tell
