What I mean to say is this is a company that is not outrageously overpriced. My other favorite small caps in this arena look like they’ve run ahead of themselves, while EGY has room to go.
The Pitch
Vaalco owns producing and exploration in Gabon and exploration in Angola. While Africa is politically unsettling to me, with risk comes reward. EGY has 88 M in cash, which equates to roughly 1/3 of the 260 M market cap. Also, unlike many peers, they have maintained very low debt, which calms me quite a bit. Did I mention they are actively buying back shares (which suggests management prudently believes them to be undervalued)? I like the direction in which the company is going, and forgive me if I fail to delve deeply into the numbers. I’m headed out of town in a few hours and much still to do. For a look at what they’ve accomplished in the last year, click here for the 2008 annual report.
The Bottom Line
In my opinion, oil prices will stay down only temporarily in the long run, so I’m looking for value oriented ways to capitalize on the trend. Uncertainty reflected in the current share price should hopefully provide an opportunity to profit.

EGY never stays below $4 for long, and when it does dip below, it bounces back quickly. Oil has gone up in the last quarter, so look for increased revs and earnings. Sell at $4.50 to $4.60. Posted 6/20/09

Oh come on, it's got to bounce back, way oversold. Also, I have been wanting to get in small cap energy, so this looks particularly good off the recent dip. With a target (granted, that's not a guarantee by any means) of $8/share, may be time to make the trade. Again, performing research on this stock and anticipating trade

A outstanding small cap energy company with working interest in various parts of Africa, UK, Texas Gulf, and Gulf of Mexico. Great management with the experience to guide through todays murky waters. Looking to expand its production facilities. Various new leads, including 2 major prospects, first will begin to be drilled in December with an estimated 20 million barrel surplus as well as 1 off the coast of Gamba with an estimated 10 million barrel surplus. Near its 52 week low, with oil prices steadly begining to increase. Great time to get in.

Best chance to double your money 100% gain, in any oil stock. This company is independant also so your eggs are not in one bascket as they explore and sell to the big boys. As oil companies start expanding when oil prices climb back up (c'mon you know thats going to happen) then they will be buying from VAALCO who is aquiring the resources as you read this. When this happens, and it will, LOOK OUT! this will be a $10 stock, it just a matter of when. If you have the time, it won't take that much money. Buy under 5, sell over 10. Go ... Do.
