Over on CAPS, fully 603 of the 615 members who have rated Denbury -- some 98% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These Foolish bulls include rfaramir and fluffypants.

Last month, rfarmair let our community know exactly what Denbury does best:

Acquiring 'spent' oil fields cheaply, has acquired multiple sources of CO2 (natural and man-made), building pipelines between them. Will make much money; even more IF gov't pays them to put the CO2 into the ground so it doesn't go into the air.

An earlier pitch from fluffypants shares that bullish attitude, highlighting the stock as a particularly timely bargain opportunity:

Got this little beauty from the discount rack at 75% off. Uniquely positioned to reclaim lots of oil from "dry" fields, and they've got no real competition. Energy is on sale, oil's not going away anytime soon, so this is a great time to pick up some bargains.
