Here is the latest McDep Report for ECA

goo.gl

They value the stock at $30.00/share. The most recent changes was the sale of some of their NG properties and the purchase of Oil assets (in Eagle Ford). I guess that's good since they now have an equal weighting in Oil vs NG. The Graham No. value is $21.48/share which is 14.5% undervalued from the current market price of $18.58/share.

Going through the McDep ECA report confirms that this stock is undervalued. Also, I like that it is a mid-cap stock w/ a market cap of $13.8Bln and is more secure than many of these smaller E&P companies. I too have been selling most of my smaller E&O and focusing on owning the larger cap oil stocks. I do have full positions in two special situations in MHR and SFY.

My bigger plays are in the pipeline and midstream companies. I own a basket of MLP (21 companies) that represent about 30% of the taxable portfolio. The largest is the KMI which completed it's MLP roll-up closing Nov. 26th.

My largest gainers of the year are from the KMI family; EPB, KMR & KMP. I also loaded up on the KMI/WS warrants when they traded below $3.00/share in October.

My strategy is to keep thing simple and have larger positions in a few quality stocks. KMI common will be one of these along with CVX, and COP.

I get excellent income from the MLP basket but depending on how long it takes to do taxes w/ all the K1 reports, I just may consolidate these shares into (1) a MLP fund or (2) keep my position in the MLP basket to 10 or less.

I always go back to these McDep reports to find the current value prospects.
