“viability”?  Doubt it.
 

Has many felt compelled to question their viability publicly?

 

So just because they don't actually say it, they're not concerned with it?  OK.

Ok...what?  You're saying that since no one else is expressing their concern...that they're not concerned about the viability of their entertainment businesses?  That everything is hunky dory?  I think everyone (else) can see the absurdity of that statement.

Doesn't matter.  WEO knows more than a billionaire who made his fortune in this area.

A lot of other people apparently trust Pegula to. IPO closed in 3 days. I look forward to watching my investment grow. As long as Pegula is CEO and controls a large % of the outstanding shares, I feel like he can bring at least 2x growth.

Looks that way.

It's very simple to me.  Investing in someone with a good track record in the industry is a sound idea.  It doesn't mean the investment will be a success, but it makes a whole lot more sense investing in someone who already has shown that he can make money in the industry.  

 

Warren Buffett is the extreme example.  He's shown he can succeed investing in a lot of different businesses, so people are willing to give him money to invest.  

 

Buy low, sell high is a winning formula.  Petrochemicals are low.  They aren't going to zero permanently, not for a few hundred years.  If I want to buy some petrochemicals low, I don't mind having Terry Pegula make the choices for me.  He has a track record.

This. NG isn’t going anywhere for a long time. Renewables are great, but anyone thinking NG won’t be around doesn’t know anything about global energy. EVs have to run on electric, and NG will more than likely fill that demand. 100% solar isn’t happening anytime soon without massive battery storage which will need vast amounts of lithium. Not to mention NG as a heating fuel, it will be incredibly difficult to switch that in northern climates without paying way more in electricity costs. NG is also going to be needed for the growth of the developing world countries. 

NG is also more than likely going to replace coal power plants.

JKLM seems to be struggling a bit.  They stopped drilling months before COVID as NG prices continued to tank.

 

I asked you twice of you gave him  money in the IPO.  You didn't respond.  Now you're saying you did invest with him in this new venture?

There's being "concerned" and  there's making an unsolicited public announcement  that you business is at a point where your "goal is to make sure we are viable"  and still "here for the next few months"  Weeks later they would fire their Executive VP of Finance.  

 

I don't see the Yankees, the Rangers, Giants (heck, the Knicks), etc, announcing publicly that they are in rough shape and trying to remain viable for a few months.

She's obviously not talking about the Bills or even the Sabres.  Both of those teams will survive for sure.

Pegula created his wealth ("made money in the industry") by extracting fuel from the ground, not as an investor in energy companies..  When he saw where NG was headed and the resistance forcing was meeting, he cashed out (very wise) of this very industry.  Since then he has limited his production to a small company he owns that stopped new drilling a while ago and NG prices have been diving for over 2 years.

 

He wouldn't be considered an "investor"--certainly not in any sense similar to Buffet, until this new venture.

 

If you want to invest in petrochemicals that's easy enough for you to do without Pegula's help.  With him, you would be investing in companies that make the fuel.  That's different.

That's absurd. Its foolish to suggest that a man who created a $5 billion natural gas company doesn't understand the natural gas markets.

He is smart enough to navigate the ups and downs. When you can show me a $5 BILLION net worth, I’ll be happy to listen. Until then?

Did you invest in his IPO?  It's down to $10.  When you have, I will be happy tom listen.

He’s a proven and brilliant billionaire. We are posting on an internet message board about one of his toys. I’m not pretending to be any smarter than I am, and that bar isn’t exactly world class. But I freely admit it.

Kylie Jenner is a billionaire.  So is Trump.  If both announced that they were launching an investment company in makeup or real estate markets (respectively) would you claim that they are geniuses that deserve your investment dollars?

If you think you made a clever point, I’d bet you’re in the minority. This isn’t worth it to me. Have a nice night.

Augie, I wouldn’t worry about it. He probably doesn’t even understand that Terry has a petroleum engineering degree from Penn St. or that members of his staff have engineering degrees with experience in the energy sector. They have all upstream, mid stream, and down stream experience. If there is anyone I trust in this industry, it’s Pegula.

You keep saying you “trust” him.  What have you trusted him with?

No, he just doesn't like Terry (who knows what reason the dart he tossed blindly at his dartboard hit).  And as a result you get this comedy gold.

Yeah.  Definitely a "long haul" investment.  Still probably a real nice one to have in your retirement account .  I'm actually hoping to buy more shares as time goes on since I had some extra money lying around that I didn't need for anything and really needed to start saving for retirement....

He’s very competent with a petroleum engineering degree from penn state. He has plenty of business experience as well. As long as NG prices rebound some, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him increased market cap 5-10x just likes he’s done before.

I honestly don't expect much movement for at least a year or more.  Like I said, it's a long play but I'm think it will be well worth it in the end if you are able to stay in long enough.

It could be sooner, it all just depends on what Pegs does with the money. The sooner he acts the better, just hope he makes good decisions like his previous gas biz.

I don’t think there will be a merger. Terry has already stated they want to acquire already productive wells in Pennsylvania, and not so much acreage projects. Wants to get that steady cash flow established. The questions is, what assets might he be looking at? Does Chesapeake energy still control any assets in the region?

I don’t trust him at all. Look at what he does  to the planet. Pegs is nothing more than a wealthy blood sucker.

His last such decision was to cash out of NG and dump it all.

Par is $10.  Its a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).  They formed a public company with the stated purpose of acquiring or merging with a company in the energy space.  Pegs has 2 years to make a deal or return everyone's capital.   

 

Every SPAC initially trades at $10 and there is little share price movement until deal is rumored or definitive agreement is in place.

Pegula made his billions buying oil and has producing acreage and developing this acreage.  Raising capital, assessing investments, and closing deals is a different sport.
