CAPS Rating:
****

An Australian energy company engaged in oil and gas exploration and production. The core of company's business is a majority working interest in the Cooper/Eromanga Basins oil and gas fields located in central Australia.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

This is crazy especially with oil hitting $135/barrel during this week. This company is engaged in the exploration, extraction, and production of oil, primarily. They are also involved in natural gas/lng production/exploration. What makes this stock stand out from the rest of the pack though is that it is engaged in the exchange of hydro-carbons between different companies, countries, and regions of countries.

They just announced a few days ago that one of their main competitors wanted to get in on a MASSIVE LNG project, with the company Petronas buying a 40% stake worth around $2.5 billion so they must see something in the companies activities...

They are engaged in oil exploration/production in many different south east asian countries: indonesia, japan, thailand, vietnam, india, and egypt among others. These are some of the fastest growing areas of the world as far as increased demand for oil goes and it is individuals within these countries, and other emerging markets like them, that are driving up the price of oil. They arent to blame, its just the realities of supply/demand.

The company only trades at 31 times earnings, which for the oil industry is nothing...plus they are a highly specialized company with a large market share of a consistenly expanding market.

They have a clean balance sheet, no excessive debt, and a positive cash flow. This company has been nothing but great for me and i have already seen 25% returns...but dont let that make you think that you cant get in on this one or that youve missed the boat or w/e. if you dont believe me, check the charts for yourself...this stock is headed for the tops...id expect $90-95 by the end of june and who knows where it could be at by the summer...a note though, this stock will tend to pull back after reaching new peaks so make sure you continue to do your homework on this one and skim profits off the top when you have them...happy hunting
