Hi Paul -
Some more views on GFS as well as the small E&P stocks. The recent sell off may present a "selective value" buying opportunity.

From the article:"...GASFRAC – GFS-TSX original write up Aug 25 2010

Again, this is my favorite company in the portfolio. And they delivered Q4 and annual numbers better than I expected. The $41 million revenue in Q4 was $10 million more than I was expecting (no wonder the stock rocked last week) and at first glance, everything seems great – margins are fairly constant which is great as usually growth costs money. Yes you should get economies of scale and greater profits, but first – growth costs money. The number of jobs is up and the price per job is up, (due to bigger equipment being used, which is what the IPO was for – they should see a similar bump in Q4 11 from the bigger equipment they’re buying that was paid for from the November 2010 financing).

Other interesting points
1. The company has $119 million in working capital and 60.6 million shares out – almost $2/share.
2. Three customers account for 63% of revenue, but over 40 customers overall.
3. They now have 2 rigs working in Texas after bringing rigs back into Canada from the US in 2010
4. The LPG Fracturing Process patents for the U.S., Canada and International markets remain in examination.
5. Q1 2011 will be lower due to the 19 day self imposed work stoppage due to the first accident

Overall I would expect the market to see this as positive. I will be listening to the conference call tomorrow and reading the analyst reports on Monday to get a better sense of how the market is viewing this release...."
