Que seria, you said "I intended to buy Talisman or Pan Canadian, but looking at their relative valuations I just had to load more BKP today." Last time I checked the TSE quote site (15 minutes ago), the P/E was 12 on TLM.TO, 13 on PCP.TO and 38 for BKP.TO. Similar results are obtained when one compares price to cash flow ratios among the three that you named. According to these comparisons, both TLM and PCP are better values than BKP, despite the fact that both TLM and PCP have been trading up of late in contrast to BKP which is again testing old lows.
