Zitat von Rhöngold

Ich werde hier auch den Exit machen. Im Investor Call hatte ich keinen guten Eindruck vom CFO. Daher dem Bauchgefühl vertrauen und raus. Ich überlege jetzt spekulativ bei $PROP zu erhöhen u.a. wegen der kürzlich getätigten massiven Zukäufe des Großaktionärs Gregory O'Neill.

Bei Prop bin ich heute raus, weil sie am Freitag auf 1,67 gefallen sind und mir das nicht gefallen hat. Die Frage ist, ob sie Ihre Finanzierung wirklich hinbekommen, da der Oelpreis bisher ja etwas zoegerlich nur steigt und sie das zeitl. Problem haben. Wenn sie es doch noch schaffen, koennte das 5x bei WTI von 100 werden.

Bei Prop bin ich heute raus, weil sie am Freitag auf 1,67 gefallen sind und mir das nicht gefallen hat. Die Frage ist, ob sie Ihre Finanzierung wirklich hinbekommen, da der Oelpreis bisher ja etwas zoegerlich nur steigt und sie das zeitl. Problem haben. Wenn sie es doch noch schaffen, koennte das 5x bei WTI von 100 werden.

Das Risiko habe ich gestern mit Autosugesstion verdrängt. Zum einen bietet das Hedgebook relative Sicherheit und zum anderen baue ich auf den Midas-Touch von Gregory Kevin O'Neill , der sich die letzten Monaten lt. den Insidertrades massiv mit PROP eingedeckt hat.

Alberta Separatists Ramp Up Efforts to Leave Canada After Trump Meeting

By Alex Kimani - Feb 13, 2026, 4:00 PM CSTSeparatists aim to collect 177,000 signatures to trigger a 2026 referendum, citing frustration over federal energy, environmental and fiscal policies.Alberta controls roughly 97% of Canada’s oil reserves, but independence would leave it landlocked and outside existing trade frameworks.Economic risks include debt assumption, capital flight, trade renegotiations and potential energy sector instability.

A right-wing group pushing the province of Alberta to secede from Canada has ramped up a petition campaign aimed at achieving independence after meeting with officials from the Trump administration. The group has already held three meetings with officials from the State Department, where they’ve discussed the logistics of a potential secession from Canada, including border security, switching over to U.S. currency and how their radical plan can benefit the United States. Volunteer canvassers have set a target to collect approximately 177,000 signatures, or 10% of Alberta’s registered voters, by May 2, the threshold required by law to push a citizen-led referendum to separate from Canada.

If successful, the petition could trigger a formal referendum in October 2026. Alberta holds about 97% of Canada's oil reserves and produces the majority of its oil and natural gas, with the rest coming from Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Manitoba, and offshore Newfoundland and Labrador.

Alberta separatism is not a new phenomenon, with secession efforts having begun back in the 1970s and 1980s and again from 2015–2016 onwards, heavily influenced by oil industry downturns and opposition to federal policies.

The separatists primarily seek to leave Canada due to deep-seated frustration with federal energy and environmental policies, a feeling of economic injustice (specifically regarding equalization payments), and a desire for greater autonomy to manage natural resources. They feel alienated from Ottawa, arguing that the province's economic contributions are not appreciated.

Many Albertans believe federal policies including carbon taxes, oil sands regulations, federal environmental regulations and climate policies "hamstring" Alberta's oil and gas industry. They believe an independent Alberta would have full control over its resources and could build pipelines more easily. A major complaint is that Alberta contributes significantly more to the federal treasury through taxes than it receives in services, which some view as unfair wealth transfer.

A feeling exists that Alberta's conservative, resource-driven economy and culture are misunderstood or disrespected by central Canadian governments. Proponents of a secession want full control over Alberta's natural resources, believing that an independent, fiscally conservative Alberta would prosper without federal interference.

The province holds only about 10% of seats in the House of Commons despite contributing 17% of Canada's GDP, leading to a sense of a power disparity. They argue that Western Canada has little to gain from the current confederation, advocating for a "Wexit" (Western exit) to form a new nation. Some factions advocate for joining the United States as the 51st state, seeking closer ties with U.S. energy markets and a more favorable political environment under Donald Trump.

As of February 2026, polls indicate that ~29% of Albertans would vote for the province to leave Canada in a referendum, according to Angus Reid Institute and Ipsos, with roughly 65% of Albertans preferring to remain in Canada. However, of the 29% in favor, only about 8% are definite in their choice.

However, separating from Canada would present some unique challenges for Alberta. Seceding from Canada would effectively landlock the province, creating severe economic, legal, and infrastructural challenges. As a landlocked country, Alberta would lose direct access to Canadian pipelines and ports, likely resulting in lower oil prices and reduced investments. The province would also lose unrestricted access to Canadian markets, requiring difficult, renegotiated trade deals with Canada and the U.S. An independent Alberta would lose access to all existing Canadian trade deals (like CUSMA/USMCA) and would have to negotiate new agreements from scratch without the collective bargaining power of a larger nation.

Alberta would also inherit a significant share of federal debt (estimated at $71 billion) and face higher interest rates, alongside the astronomical costs of creating new government institutions, currency, and border controls. Citizens would face uncertainty regarding pensions, healthcare coverage, and security, losing the stability of the Canadian banking system and military.

Separation would likely lead to intense, years-long negotiations with Canada, Indigenous Nations, and the international community, making the process complex and costly. Further, serious talks of separation could trigger energy companies to leave the province, as experienced during Quebec's separation debates, resulting in job losses and decreased tax revenues.

Alberta is home to the lion’s share of Canada’s Oil & Gas giants, including Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB), Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (NYSE:CNQ), Obsidian Energy Ltd. (NYSE:OBE), Suncor Energy Inc. (NYSE:SU), Cenovus Energy Inc. (NYSE:CVE), Pembina Pipeline Corporation (NYSE:PBA), Imperial Oil Ltd. (NYSE:IMO), TC Energy Corporation (NYSE:TRP), Baytex Energy Corp. (NYSE:BTE), ARC Resources Ltd. (OTCPK:AETUF Tourmaline Oil Corp. (OTCPK:TRMLF), Whitecap Resources Inc. (OTCPK:WCPRF), Cardinal Energy Ltd. (OTCPK:CRLFF), Keyera Corp. (OTCPK:PEYUF) and Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. (OTCPK:TNEYF).
