BUYCanadian Natural RsrcsCNQ-T33.530One of the market movers because of its size. Hit hard over the last 3-4 months. It trades like an oil stock. Downside is $30. One of the biggest natural gas portfolios in Canada but they aren’t drilling it. IF he picked one major to buy on this pull back it would be this one. Has cash flow and free option for natural gas.2011-09-12
BUYFreehold RoyaltiesFRU-T17.370Trades with the oil markets. Nice cheque collector and pay a lot of that out in yield. If oil gets to $70s there is a chance of a dividend cut. Their tax losses run out next year so might have to tweak dividend a little bit. A pension plan might want to just buy it.2011-09-12
WEAK BUYHusky EnergyHSE-T23.000Definitely been a disappointment. 4% dividend. Another very large company going through change. Where’s the focus. They are trying to make another push into Canada. Prefers more of the mid-cap names. Give them another year and they will bear some fruit.2011-09-12

N/AA Comment -- General Comments From an ExpertA Commentary0.020Thinks we are getting to the end of the Greece story. It’s a slow process when they all have to agree in the EU. The market hates uncertainty. One layer of uncertainty peeled off the onion. He is cautiously optimistic that we will miss a double dip recession. Everyone in OPEC Everyone goes full guns except for Saudi Arabia. It took about 6 months when they put extra oil on the market for it to get refined and hit inventories. He sees Oil at $80. The wild card is Libya. If it comes on by end of December we test $70-$75 oil. It would be the best buying opportunity since 2008. China’s demand is changing energy generation from oil to Coal and then to Natural gas and nuclear. The oil will go for auto fuel. If you can stomach the market for 3-5 years there will be LNG exported to China in larger quantities.2011-09-12
CommentA Comment -- General Comments From an ExpertA Commentary0.020Natural Gas: $4 is the place where a lot of companies can’t make money. Certain gas plays are profitable at that rate. Liquid rich gas producers get revenue from the condensates. Dry gas producers cannot make money at $4. $6-$7 is what you need to pay for the costs for all stake holders in a gas company. Bullish on Natural Gas. It will move up $2 in 18 months.2011-09-12
TOP PICKTrilogy Energy CorpTET-T25.600Buying since $10 or $12. A bit of a yielder. Torquier growth story. Great buying opportunity today. Tremendous running room in a couple of their plays. 2011-09-12

BUYPenn West PetroleumPWT-T17.080Oil needs to test the low $70s before distributions get cut. Good diversifier. He prefers many other yielding names. You won’t stub your toe buying it if you get it below $20. Might prefer some others.2011-09-12
PAST TOP PICKFairborne Energy Ltd.FEL-T3.570(Top Pick Sep 13/10, Down 18.65%) At one point it was up 20%. They produced some really nice results this morning, but the market just doesn’t care right now. Not for the weak at heart.2011-09-12

BUYTourmaline Oil CorpTOU-T32.240One of his top holdings and probably the most expensive stock. Management has created value for shareholders. Anyone that can create billions for shareholders will always garner that multiple. Lots of running room and room to exploit what they have over the next 10-15 years. They are buy land that is accretive. Keep expanding their inventory and accumulating undeveloped land. Will never sell. May trim from time to time.2011-09-12

BUYEncana CorpECA-T31.470Current price is a great entry point. Expects gas will get to the $6-$8 range in 18 months, this could be a $45-$50 stock. Blue chip with lots of assets to back it. 2011-05-09
CommentEnerplus CorpERF-T30.030Feels the dividend is sustainable. Based on their current CapX expectations, their payout ratio is just over 100%. Feels natural gas over the next 18 months will go higher and will benefit them. Putting a lot of money into the Marcellus but the shale gas in this area is a bit worrisome. As a single stock, don't Buy bit in a basket, it's OK.2011-05-09
BUY on WEAKNESSHusky EnergyHSE-T28.290Thinks this will do a gradual move up. Will take time. New management. Expect it will get back to $32-$33 in a few years. You get a 4.4% yield to wait. Buy when it dips to $26-$27.2011-05-09
BUYNAL Energy CorpNAE-T12.660It's primary properties are in the Cardium, one of the oldest pools that has been extrapolated in Canada recently with horizontal drilling. Great yield at 6.9% so total expectation returns should be double digits.2011-05-09
DON'T BUYNexen IncNXY-T23.140Had to suspend production in Yemen. Also have operational issues in their Buzzard field in the North Sea so continue to miss production. Oil sands project, Long Lake, has never met expectations. 2011-05-09

CommentA Comment -- General Comments From an ExpertA Commentary0.020Big sell off last Thursday shows the speculation in the commodities market. A lot of it was driven by the amount of liquid money we have because of low interest rates. People are flocking to anything where they can make money. Not only did you have oil move through $100 because of unrest in North Africa, but speculators want to re-test its old highs. Feels the fundamental price for oil is in the $85 range. He puts the $85 oil price through his models so if oil is at $85, his oil picks will be fairly valued. Also, owns companies that pay dividends so in times of volatility, which helps insulate your total return.2011-05-09

HOLDQuesterre EnergyQEC-T1.090Play on shale gas in Quebec. It has been 2 years on not knowing what is going to happen. Trading around its worth of $1, which is its cash and Alberta properties, so basically Quebec is free. If you feel Quebec will happen, it's a $1.50-$2 stock. Pretty much dead money.2011-05-09

CommentImperial OilIMO-T39.150Has been a disappointment given the rally in oil. Pays on low dividend. Hasn't recovered from the recession. If you are a blue chip, buy-and-hold it's okay to own. If you can take more risk, there are better names out there.2010-09-13

CommentPele Mountain Resources Inc.GEM-X0.175Marketed themselves as a uranium company a few years back. Uranium has had a real strong uptick recently. You wouldn't have made any money off this in the last 3-4 years.2010-09-13

CommentMega Uranium LimitedMGA-T0.580Uranium is now starting to move. Once it solidly stays at $50 for a while there will be a real re-evaluation in the sector. This is more of a trading vehicle and could easily be $.75 next year if he is right on the uranium call.2010-09-13
