I will stay short till percentage of 9 year lows or protective stop is hit near highs. First target of 1.0000 was achieved and taken 10% of position, rest is kept. On deep pullbacks, add ons placed/hedged.
One month returns on some energy stocks I frequently own : BTE 30.9%, ATH 27.9%, CPG 16.7%, CVE 22.6%, ERF 27.1%, MEG 30.8%
Long the producers has been a far better trade. Earnings season starts now I suspect plenty of upside "surprises" especially in the pure nat gas plays. Dividend increases, share buy backs, debt reductions, earnings beats should all be in play. Whitecap got in early with a 38% dividend increase two weeks ago. Oil producers are good stories but somewhat baked into some stock prices now after a huge run up for two months. Any dividend reinstatements it'll attract new money. Frankly Canadian energy companies have been the best kept secret in NA markets for a year running.
