SpeculatingStocks.com Stock Pick: Strata Oil & Gas, Inc. (SOIGF)

Stock Price: $1.40 (short-term strong buy)

Strata Oil & Gas, Inc. is a junior petroleum exploration company with land in the Peace River Oil Sands region of northern Alberta. The company's goal is to provide exceptional shareholder returns in a rising oil market, and to provide greater exposure to petroleum prices by maximizing in-place resource per common share.

SOIGF is involved in the much talked about oil sands market. The company just acquired more than 26,000 acres in the Peace River Oil Sands region of northern Alberta. This land acquisition increased their oil sand holdings by twenty-fold.

This company is still in the development and research phase, but is just beginning to emerge as an oil sands production play. One of its competitors in the sand oil space, SRGG, has been discovered and increased 166% since the beginning of the year.

SOIGF deserves to be discovered and is about to break out after moving 16.67% higher today on a good amount of shares traded. There are only 11 million shares outstanding creating a market cap for SOIGF of only $30.8 million compared to SRGG at a $96.16 million market cap. SRGG is not much better of a company than SOIGF, if at all.

SpeculatingStocks.com Target Price: We expect SOIGF to reach $2.40 within the next 1 - 2 months.
