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.

HOLD

Some of the better quality royalty trusts that he would continue to hold include Crescent Point (CPG.UN-T), Vermilion (VET.UN-T) and Baytex (BTE.UN-T).

TOP PICK

Heavy oil producer. Almost 11% yield. You get paid to wait. Producing without doing any thermal or steaming and only producing about 12% of its available land, so there is potential for huge reserves booking.

TOP PICK

Seal pilot well is commercial, which is huge news. Will be 2 or 3 years before full production. This is a huge add to their already huge inventory. Very clean balance sheet. 10% yield. Stable production.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He is picking away at trusts he likes and tries to Buy on weakness. Buying for yield. Thinks oil and gas will stabilize.

DON'T BUY

Could double reserves. Stock price showing some of this potential. Getting a little expensive.

TOP PICK

Primarily heavy oil. 40,000 barrels a day. Increased dividend from $.20 to $.25 a month. Good model for other royalty trust. Because cash flows have increased so much they will be able to pay the taxes, capital expenditures and continue to pay out distributions.

WAIT

Fundamentally what is backing up energy stories is still very much intact. A big believer in energy. In the next week or two, there could be a little pullback, which will give you great entry points.

BUY

Thinks it will benefit a lot from the very small differentials in heavy oil. Relatively low debt.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

More exposed to heavy oil. Recent results were very strong. About a 48% payout ratio. Sees a dramatic narrowing of the spreads between heavy and light oil. Hedged some of this with a refinery in the US but a well manage company. Have a lot of land for drilling. At these levels it's a Hold.

TOP PICK

Good at keeping production flat with minimal capital spending. Production 40,000 barrels a day, predominantly oil, will cash flow about $1 billion and only need $150 million to keep production flat. Current distributions of about $225 million. More efficient for a trust to pay out more distribution than to spend on drilling. Potential distribution increase. Could do another acquisition. Also un-recognized value for their Seal property.

BUY

Very well run income trust. Focused on heavy oil. Recently made an acquisition of Burmis Energy (BME-T) that adds to their natural gas and light oil production. Good management team.

COMMENT

Just made an offer to purchase Burmis Energy (BME-T) 2 weeks ago. These are Pembina assets so it will be a little sizzle. The market had not been enamoured with this story but it is starting to turn around. From a trading point of view, wait for a pullback. Distribution should be safe.

TOP PICK

Wanted to provide a stock that provided decent income along with some growth. Yield of about 10%. With an oil price of around $100, you have a company that has been replacing reserves. NAV of over $24. Gives some good upside in terms of growth.

WAIT

Has a bias towards heavy oil. Into the heavy oil project at Seal. Prefers over Penn West (PWT.UN-T). Following 2011, the cash taxes will be mitigated to a great degree by preservation of tax pools in the period leading up to 2011. If you are into market timing, you may want to wait until the snow clears.

BUY

About 65% oil/ 35% gas. Interesting play in northern Alberta and production results just released were pretty good. Payout ratio is just over 60%. Good management.
