I just bought some of this in my real portfolio, so I thought I'd go ahead and pitch it as well to maybe give my real money a chance to work for me. No one seems to have a handle on why oil keeps going up. There aren't enough refineries in the US,… More

You must do some homework here. Look at the charts. As the price of Oil/Gas continues to rise, so will MCF--bigtime. Low industry P/E. Had you played the stock a few months ago, you could have ridden it up/down from mid 30;s to high 40's 3-4 times over. Now we will see a somewhat steady rise since their production has stabilized, with no debt. Good takeover canidate.

A rare debt-free oil and gas producer. Management is friendly to shareholders. Focus is on being a low-cost producer of oil and gas. My investment assumes that oil and gas prices will recover substantially in the next few years, and Contango has enough cash to survive until then.

Potential issues: being a small producer, Contango can be significantly affected by the success or failure of a few wells. My thesis about oil and gas prices recovering may be wrong.

Upside: Given that Contango has extra cash, it might be able to make acquisitions at attractive prices. Management can increase intrinsic value per share significantly by buying back shares.
