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 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Natural Gas: $4 is the place where a lot of companies can’t make money.

| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Big 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.

| HOLD | Canaco Resources | CAN-X | 2.850 | There has been a great little rally in the Junior and mid-cap gold sector over the last 2 months. | 2010-09-13 | ||
| BUY | Mesabi Trust | MSB-N | 32.770 | (Market Call Minute.) Nice way to play iron ore. Pays out high yield and gives exposure to iron ore prices. | 2010-09-13 | ||
| TOP PICK | Bonavista Energy Corp | BNP-T | 23.460 | About 60% natural gas. Made a nice acquisition last year from Encana (ECA-T). 8% yield. Management owns 15% of the company. | 2010-01-06 | ||
| Comment | Canadian Apartment Properties | CAR.UN-T | 14.430 | A lot of apartment properties along the Toronto subway line and with low interest rates people were buying condos last year. Thinks this will slow when interest rates begin to move up in 5-6 months. There is a glut of rental units. Also have to spend CapX on the units. Cheap on a valuation standpoint. 7.5% yield. | 2010-01-06 | ||
