Talisman Energy (TLM.TO) was projected to have the worst decline and it did.  However, it could have been much worse as depicted in the chart below.  At one point, Talisman Energy stock price declined as much as –63% before Spanish oil giant Repsol (REP.MC) announced on December 15, 2014 the intention to buy TLM.TO.

Our commentary on the dire analyst expectations for Talisman Energy was:

“As far as we can tell, TLM.TO is not slated to be worth very much by the end of 2014.  We’ll have to see how this picture plays out.  However, if the stock market can keep its head above water for the next 10 months we wouldn’t be surprised to see TLM.TO to pull off a shocker.”

In the midst of a collapsing oil and stock prices, Talisman did pull off a shocker and just before the end of 2014.
