Robert LauzonThe oil and gas sectors are good for the long term and increased demand. They are volatile in the short term. There is slow but steady U.S. shale deposit exhaustion. The long term fundamentals of Paramount Resources are good. Buy 7 Hold 3 Sell 0

(A Top Pick September 15/17 Down 38%) This is the third version of this company, he suggests. Now a 90,000 boed producer it has stagnated with a large natural gas position. There is inconsistency in delivering economic results. He likes their assets, but he has gone to the sidelines to wait for that consistency to develop. They are trying to move their portfolio to include 45% liquids.
A past top pick. He likes it. It's viewed as a natural gas stock, but it's really a condensate. Paramount missed its last quarter due to weather and a problem at a plant. It's a misunderstood stock. They run it like a private company and don't always tell investors what they're doing. Buy it on dips.
They were building a massive facility to bring on a lot of natural gas, from the Montney, etc., and the problem was that they added a lot of debt. They finished 2015 at $1.7 billion of debt against $548 million of equity. Sold to Pembina under a contract basis to use the facilities, and they’ll pick up about $500 million which they can use to pay down some debt. On the positive side, it is trading at a significant discount to BV $5.18. His view is that the debt is still too high.
