This stock will head down until it flattens, and then it may possibly reverse course. Until that point I will short it. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (TLM) SapphireSeas (74.25) Submitted: 7/14/08 4:02 AM : Start Price: $20.00 TLM Score: -10.99 In addition to a significant discovery off Norway, Talisman has also just inked a deal with the Kurds for work in northern Iraq. Granted, the Iraq deal is risky, but Kurdistan is calm by comparison to other areas of the country, and TLM should have the room, resources, and security to take care of business. Outperform 5Y. ----------AP, 23 June 2008--------- Canadian oil and gas producer Talisman Energy Inc. said Monday it will acquire stakes in two oil-drilling regions within Iraq's Kurdistan region at a cost of more than $300 million. The Calgary-based company will take a 40 percent stake in one of the production blocks, which it will share with WesternZagros Ltd. and the Kurdistan Regional Government. Costs for that block, including past expenses and a commitment to operate three wells at the site, are expected to total $80 million. Talisman's interest in the second block covers a two-year seismic services agreement, followed by the option to take a 60 percent production stake for at least a year. Initial work is expected to cost $10 million to $15 million. In addition, the company will pay at least $220 million to improve the infrastructure in the region.

I am not sure why energy stocks have gotten hit so hard the last few days, but they are still going to make a lot of money. It's not like oil is going to go back down to $75 a barrell. And at $90 plus per barrell, energy companies are going to make a bunch of money. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
