While the general sentiment is cautiously optimistic regarding its operational efficiencies and management's commitment to reduce debt, some analysts express concern over the stock's recent performance and valuation. Comparisons have been made to other energy stocks, suggesting mixed opinions on the best investment strategies in the sector. Overall, the outlook reflects a company making strides in financial stability but still facing challenges in sentiment and market conditions.

STRONG BUY

(Market Call Minute.) A must own. The upside is the potential doubling of its reserves and a game changer with commercialization of its Seal project.

BUY

Very much focused on heavy oil. Well run. With the Chinese buying 45% of Penn West (PWT.UN-T), this refocuses investors interest on this one.

TOP PICK

Expert in heavy oil production through the drill bit. Mainly in Theo Alberta.

BUY

There are several oil/gas trusts that will be hybrids when they convert with very decent dividends and growth vehicles. This is one of them.

BUY

Ideal model for a royalty trust. Fairly high income producing company. Key catalyst for growth is their Seals project in the oil sands, which has 5 billion barrels of oil in place.

BUY

Having some success in the Cardium region.

HOLD

Beautiful chart, which looks like it has no intention of going anywhere but up. Seasonality is to the end of May so wouldn't be surprised to see it soften some time at that point.

HOLD

Has reached a 52-week high. 6% distribution should be safe. Should transition to a corporation very smoothly.

BUY

Likes it because it is all heavy oil. In a very enviable position. Low risk. Given profits, distribution is not at risk. They can pay it out AND fund their program.

BUY

One of the seniors. One of the very serious ones in these new plays. Can easily pay the million dollars to do the conversion. Bought it not long ago. 7%

BUY

Doesn't expect any problems when they change to a corp. Expected to distributions, but if not, adjustment will be slight. On an after-tax basis, you should end up in the same place.

BUY

Attractive assets. 50 Million Barrels of oil in place. Should be able to access a substantial amount. Recently increased distribution by 50%, which reflects managements view on heavy oil spreads. Distribution is safe.

BUY

Great way to play heavy oil. Have done a great job on their Seals project in the oil sands. Have a new play in North Dakota in the Bakken. Have to be careful of heavy oil differentials as they start to grow out going into the winters. 5.4% yield has a better chance of being increased rather than decreased.

PARTIAL BUY

Great oil sands property, a cyclic steam, which is very attractive from a cost standpoint. One of the more conservatively managed trusts. Has had a great run. Wouldn't buy aggressively.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 22/08. Down 4.75%.) One of the more solid names. Sold in March because of concerns about debt and refinancing. Held in fairly well because it is heavy oil and differentials have been narrowing considerably.
