Gastar Exploration Limited (USA) (GST)

They are reporting earnings on Friday and will show on their balance sheet that they have paid off their debt.

Going against the tide here, but this company is consistently losing money and has tons of debt and liabilities (quick and current ratios of 0.1, debt to equity of 3.92). Maybe it will grow drastically in the next year, but I don't see it happening any time soon, and I think the coming market surge will outpace GST's performance.

Setting an underperform start limit at $3.60

Lots of finger crossing.

Undervalued and under the radar!

PE of 0.00? Interesting?

GST crashed with the pop in the commodities bubble. The exceptional management team not only set themselves up nicely for a downturn, but recently made changes that will once again greatly benefit the company. They sold their Australian assets and paid off virtually all their debt, had a 5:1 reverse split making the company viable once again to institutional investors, and delisted from the Canadian Stock Exchange that freed up money which wasn't doing anything for shareholders. The result, as suspected, boosted the stock price over 90% in the last month...and that is while natural gas is priced at anemic levels. When ng begins to climb, and it will (we just don't know when), the company should explode. Even with the recent jump in price, GST is an incredible value with tremendous growth potential. Back up the truck while ng prices are low and reap the rewards down the road.

Hidden gem.

This company is quietly establishing all the right plays. It has acquired large amounts of acreage in developing plays. It is also managing cash very well and finding ways to cut costs as develops new wells. The downside is being a small company makes it more vulnerable to swings in the market price of gas as well as paying high prices for the money it does acquire (12.5% on notes currently due 2012). However, I believe as we move to a greener (environmentally and hopefully through my portfolio as well) that natural gas will increase in demand. It is one of the cleanest fossil fuels. I am currently positioned at an average price of 2.40 and expext to see 3.50-4.00 within 12 months which makes 1.77 a great opportunity to get in.

3 to 5 star stock in one year.

Naturallly !

I don't expect a significant return on this pick until the end of '08 at the earliest, probably not until mid '09. Everything is going to hinge on getting their permits to develop their land in Australia (PEL 238, which is a joint venture I believe). They have a pending contract with a local natural gas company to supply 500 BCF of natural gas over the next decade. Once/if they can get all the permits and begin production this company is going to experience extraordinary sales and income growth. A higher risk than many of the established companies, but I believe it will prove to be the linchpin in my portfolio. producing several hundred percent growth by the end of '09.

In the interest of full disclosure, I own shares of Gastar.

We all need this company

Gotta, go thumbs up. GST, 1rst double diget one day and on day's best board for the DART. REAL LIFE, FEELS GOOD.

GOING ON MY NEW < 5 PORTFOLI O 9am. FUN , LITTLE GUYS PLAY HARD..

Natural gas and exploration---we need more energy and they are providing it.

This is a speculative small cap stock that is actually making money in the natural gas industry. At some point, I would expect it to be taken over by Chesapeake Energy. They already own a chunk of Gastar's stock, and with Natural Gas continuing to trend higher, this company's future is brighter than ever.

Moved into profit margin very nicely with still a lot of exploration and development. Positioned nicely, believe that institutions are buying up stock. Potential is enormous with an increase in demand for some time to come. Truly believe this stock will take off, expect new high range to be broken before next quarterly earnings report. Expect next earnings report to push stock up another 15% minimum.
