It rose 4x since the mid-March low. Production is and will shut down in Q2 and Q3, and won't return until Q4. They are seeking financial support from the EDC and BDC, which are not giving support to any Canadian oil companies. There needs to be more support though reports today say that the rules of eligibility will change. IPO also needs higher oil prices, which he expects in Q4.

WAIT
He likes the management team and the assets. They recently took a $60 million impairment, which knocked their equity to $57 million, while debt is $53 million. They will probably be looking for Federal loans to provide solvency support. He would wait to see how it performs, perhaps into tax-loss selling later in the year.

BUY
A very small cap stock under $10M with debt over $50M. 66% of their production is liquids; the rest is nat. gas. They'll likely cut back production, but if they can keep production flat and free up some cash flow to pay the debt, they may get supports from their lenders. They'll be a long-term viable player. A good operator.
