Market Outlook TOU-T is planning to spin off some of their infrastructure into a royalty like offering, while retaining 80% of the value. Prior to this the stock was trading at all time lows and the market was giving zero value to the infrastructure they held. The company was trading at 3 times cash flow. The assets they are effectively selling are being valued at 9 times cash flow within the offering.

ARX-T has a similar 20% of its company in similar infrastructure. Once we get past the upcoming Federal election things should move forward.

He thinks the dividends are safe to $50 WTI. These stocks are just so undervalued and have enormous upside if investment comes back.
The debt is 21%, but down from last December. He would recommend buying it on weakness. They have the gas for LNG approved projects in Canada. We could see takeovers in the next two to three years.
