TOP PICK
Has an excellent slate of properties. Has a relatively high yield compared to the quality of the assets. Pays around 15%. Well managed. Paying out just a little bit above 100% of its cash flow.
WAIT
Likes the energy trusts in general, but this one has a bit of a short reserve life, 8.5 years. Doesn't have a big problem with it.
BUY
Likes the company. Over the course of 4 or 5 years it made about 5 acquisitions. Have beefed up their technical expertise which will look to exploit and integrate those acquisitions. Has a lower reserve life index than he would like to see. Good value.
BUY
Has been one of the better performing oil/gas trusts. Merging with StarPoint Energy (SPN>UN-T) which is a good idea and will be good for the shareholders as you will get economy of scale.
HOLD
Acclaim Energy (AE.UN-T) and Starpoint (SPN.UN-T) are merging. This will make it close to the 4th or 5th largest royalty trust. They will be getting a NYSE listing so there will be more demand from the US. There might be some short term weakness as many managers will end up owning too much and will have to reduce the weighting in their portfolios.
WEAK BUY
Likes but doesn’t own as it is not gassy enough for him. Thinks natural gas is the place to be.
BUY
There is a friendly merger with Starpoint Energy (SPN.UN-T). Likes Royalty Trusts. The only risk factor is that there are two large energy trusts making one of the largest Royalty trusts. There will be a lot of integration risks. It will be listed on the New York stock exchange giving access to US investors.
BUY
Acclaim Energy (AE.UN-T) and Starpoint Energy (SPN.UN-T) are amalgamating. If you own either of these, continue to hold. Likes the prospects, especially with the current commodity prices.
BUY
This is actually a fund of funds. A closed end fund. Focused on energy and energy-related sectors. If you are positive on energy, this is a good place to be.
BUY
Very liquid, high quality name. Low payout ratio. Long reserve life. High quality management.
