An oil-n-gas sector play (mostly natural gas). Well diversified, this company has tentacles in Scandinavia, North Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Australia, and Papua New Guinea, Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia, Peru, and Qatar, as well as in its Canadian roots. With a PEG of 1.9 (which is high, so expectations are definitely built into the price a bit) and a forward P/E of only 11.7, I think this is a great company at a decent price. The price could be better, but I'm tired of waiting and missing the localized bottoms for its pricing. Anyway, it doesn't matter much because due to my insane ability to pick the penultimate moment of a stock's decline (right after I purchase it, naturally), I'm sure I'll lose money on this one for the first few weeks/months, but over the long haul, this should be a winner.
