The Jews are responsible for the oil manipulation, and everything else.

11,110 need's to be signed, it's time we take it into our own hands.

Earth's flat.

[vhgier]

And now they take the deal. I gotta change careers. No way this would not happen......

[vhgier]

I have no problem with fire sales. What I have a problem with are boards of public company's telling us what to do. If they think the stock is worth more than it would show in the share price. Let them take you out and have the company and make it their problem. The stock would still be 4 bucks if nothing had happened. And that would be better right?

Canadian Oil Sands (OTCQX:COSWF -2.7%) expects strong interest from other suitors following its rejection of Suncor Energy's (SU -2.6%) hostile takeover bid, CEO Ryan Kubik tells Reuters.

Canadian Oil Sands (OTCQX:COSWF +1.4%) is looking into selling some of its future production for an upfront payment, and the Highfields Capital Management hedge fund, a company shareholder, recently discussed the possibility with the company, WSJ reports.

Company management reportedly did not make any promises to Highfields, but said it would consider the idea.

Canadian Oil Sands (OTCQX:COSWF) says it has halted crude oil production at the Syncrude oil sands project after a fire damaged equipment at its processing facility in northern Alberta on Saturday.

[Timothy Smith]

The Canadian oil businesses are the hardest hit globally with the downcycle. They have the highest cost and will be the last to recover in my opinion. When your other oil holdings begin their upcycle it should be a good bellwether that these stocks should be attractive. All in my personal opinion. - Timothy Smith

[Apophis]

maybe good to stay away from this for awhile

[Timothy Smith]

Canadian Oil Sands (OTCQX:COSWF) is downgraded to Baa3, one notch above speculative grade, at Moody's, which cites the recent tumble in crude prices to more than six-year lows and the company's deteriorating balance sheet.

Moody’s says it expects negative free cash flow of ~C$125M (US$94M) from June 30, 2015, to Sept. 30, 2016, to be largely debt funded, and says the rating could be reduced to junk grade if the company's debt-to-earnings ratio fails to improve, which is likely if WTI prices remain below $60/bbl.

[Apophis]

Set my buy order to $3.00

[vhgier]

seems not so much down...but up.

[barryl780]

WTI's price won't be going anywheres but down until Russia and Iran smarten up.. IMO

[vhgier]

tough call oil won't stay down forever it never does but this market is fake anyway so who knows.......

[Apophis]

If oil keeps drifting lower and supplies keep rising we may dip to $4. I may just cut my losses here.

[vhgier]

We seem to be here around 9

[Apophis]

I think we go lower short term. talk of oil heading to $40/barrel

[DieselJoe]

What's happening to it?

[vhgier]

I heard about this stock on the tele believe it or not. so far so good

[anton81]

New here trying to get my 400 bucks back I lost on stupid pot stock...I just bought 120 shares of this.this, I heard it it was going to do really good now that the keystone has been approved.

[DieselJoe]

Going back up buddy hold on

[Apophis]

Ugg heading down again

[Apophis]

Rumors of a takeover also helped this on Monday

[tootalljones]

this is a dicey trend holding but i puked out my shares yesterday at the close yesterday and got lucky for a change.

[Apophis]

I should have taken a loss and sold yesterday but I may add to my position if it drops again.

[vhgier]

no clue this is my first one ever.....

[Apophis]

Any other good oil sands companies under a buck?

[vhgier]

Momentum is in the longs favor.....

[Apophis]

time to jump back in?

[Apophis]

What level?

[Apophis]

smart move

[Apophis]

Maybe just a dead cat bounce with a small rebound in oil?

At $52-58/barrel this can jump to $16 share but will oil stay at these Feb levels? I own this at $20/share so I am dying to get out near that level.

[vhgier]

COSWF is flying last few days. Talk about under the radar....sheesh

[vhgier]

I don't care I need at least one oil play. They know what they need to do. The big boys are taking a bath as well. This will rebound.....

[ppl_first]

5.60, I'm not getting in until oil shows a recovery for a month at least. The intra-month on Canada Sands here is terrible.

[vhgier]

I'm in. Couldn't resist at these levels.

[eddy2]

I love a good story unfolding.

[OilStockReport]

I understand that. Def keep it in mind!

[mighty mouse]

Looks like it. Have to keep this one on the back burner. No dinero right now. GLTY

Looking at the Athabasca

Both Suncor Energy (NYSE:SU) and Canadian Oil Sands Limited (OTCBB:COSWF) offer investors direct plays on the oil sands fields. Canadian Oil Sands receives all of its production from oil shale, and Suncor was the first company to develop the oil sands, giving birth to the industry. Each will remain a major player in the sector going forward and represent the cream of the crop.

Good Upside here?

Canadian Oil Sands Ltd – Pure Oil Play

Canadian Oil Sands Ltd is, not surprisingly, a pure play on Canada’s oil sands. All production and reserves are 100% oil based. This is a company for oil bulls who don’t have reservations about investing in an oil sands producer.

Canadian Oil Sands Ltd fully upgrades 100% of its production into light, sweet crude oil and is completely unhedged. There are few if any oil producers as leveraged to the price of oil as Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. From a recent company presentation cash flow per share was provided at various oil prices:

$75 WTI - $2.75 cash flow per share

$90 WTI - $3.75 cash flow per share

$105 WTI - $4.75 cash flow per share

$120 WTI - $5.75 cash flow per share

If you want exposure to higher oil prices, COS is a good choice for you. When oil goes up, cash flow per share for Canadian Oil Sands Ltd goes up faster.

Canadian Oil Sands Ltd – Very Clear Valuation Metric

Canadian Oil Sands Ltd is a simple company to understand, and that is good, because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to value it with any confidence. Canadian Oil Sands Ltd only owns one asset: a 36.74% interest in Sycrude, which is an oil sands producer.

In 2010 Conoco Phillips (COP) sold its 9.03% interest in Syncrude Chinese company Sinopec (SHI) for $4.65 billion. Applying this valuation to Canadian Oil Sands Ltd’s 36.74% interest in Syncrude results in a valuation of $38 per share after backing out $500 million of net debt.

Compare that to the current share price and it appears that there is almost 60% upside to reach that valuation target -- and investors get paid a dividend yield of over 5% while they wait for the valuation to be realized.

I think it is important to note that at the time Sinopec purchased the Conoco stake, oil prices were hovering either side of $70. Today WTI is around $90, and for the rest of the world $110 oil is the price of the day. If anything, the asking price for a share of Syncrude has increased since the Sinopec deal.

Major decline... what happened?

[OilStockReport]

Speaking oilsands... looks like COSWF is a solid pick.

Canadian Oil Sands (COSWF.PK): If one is looking for a pure play on the oil sands then one must consider COSWF.PK. Canadian Oil Sands is the largest joint venture owner (36.74%) in Syncrude Project. The Syncrude Project is a Joint Venture undertaking among Canadian Oil Sands Limited, and six other companies.

The project’s main goal is to produce crude oil and other substances from the mining and processing of the oil sands, located on leases within the Athabasca Oil Sands Region. Syncrude has approximately 5.1 billion barrels of proven and probable reserves situated on 8 leases over 3 contiguous sites. On the prospective side, it is thought that the total reserves are probably double the proven figure. Syncrude is not publicly traded so for the retail investors the best way to invest is via a company like COSWF.PK. Unlike other companies mentioned here, COSWF.PK is a pure play on the oil sands and the crude it produces. Net income for the first quarter of 2011 rose to C$324 million compared with C$176 million in the first quarter of 2010. The improvement was credited to an increase in production totals and higher crude prices. Sales for the first quarter averaged 121,000 barrels per day compared with 99,000 barrels per day for 2010. As investments in better utilization and efficiency continue, the total barrel count for COSWF.PK will continue to rise for the foreseeable future.

[OilStockReport]

COSWF favored over CNQ.

A widening of the price difference between Syncrude and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) to $12 a barrel, which, when added to $105 for the benchmark WTI, magnifies the price of Syncrude to $117, a boon for buy-recommended Canadian Oil Sands (COSWF.PK) . Cash flow for the Syncrude producer is multiplied further by better than expected volume for the past three months.

While upgraded oil, such as Syncrude, is becoming relatively more valuable, the price difference between raw oil sands (bitumen) and WTI is widening in the other direction to more than $30 a barrel less than WTI. Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is doubly impacted as its resources are primarily heavy oil that is priced closer to bitumen and its new plant to upgrade bitumen to synthetic crude oil will be idle for most of the year due to an unfortunate fire in January.

[OilStockReport]

Good idea to jump on this one.
