TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 15/05. Up 14%.) Very cheap statistically. Cash flow this year is projected to be close to $12 rising to $15 next year because of a reduction in hedges. A great way to play the oil sands.
BUY
Quality company. You have oil, gas and oil sands. They have the Horizon project in the oil sands and will be spending a large amount of money over the next several years which should produce a large amount of oil. A good company for the long-term.
HOLD
If you have a lot of this, he would recommend that you sell some and hold some. Should go higher, but is concerned that something could go wrong with the sector.
BUY
A good company, but thinks that Talisman (TLM-T) is a better value.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 18/05. Up 10%.) Likes the commodity. Oil sands is not represented in its price.
WAIT
Quite cheap on a multiple basis. There is enough volatility in the oil price and the stock price that if you want to own it longer-term you can wait for the mid-$50’s. You definitely want to own it longer-term.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 4/05. Up 24%.) He is using a 2 to 3 year view on his Top Picks and in the short term, this one is probably fully priced. Wait for a pullback.
TOP PICK
Have some interesting projects in front of them. About 81% of assets are in Canada. Likes their heavy oil project, Horizon, which is at phase 1 and is about 16% complete and is expected to start production in 2008. The economics of it looks excellent. Strong management group.
TOP PICK
Management has been very capable in managing casts and consolidating small properties into profitable bigger companies. Likes their Horizon project in the oil sands and the stock could be $80 when this is complete.
BUY
The stock pulled back to its 200 day moving average in October which was an ideal buying opportunity. It could develop a little bit of a bounce because of profit takers. Looking fgor all the oil stocks to be significantly higher.
TOP PICK
Likes their Horizon oil sands project which is 14% complete through phase one. At these prices, they are adding huge amounts of excess cash flow which is a potential for an increased dividend. As their oil sands production comes on, this could be a double.
TOP PICK
US has had a major shift in their focus of finding new energy which includes Canada, the Ivory Coast and the North Sea. This company is situated well in these spaces.
DON'T BUY
The long-term chart looks like a typical spike. The last spike did not make a new high. It is hard to believe that this would rally and make a new high.
BUY
Top quality company. You have to extrapolate that the oil price will stay in this range, which he does.
DON'T BUY
If yyou're bullish on oil going forward, it's a good place to be. Good company, good operator. Have huge projeccts ion front of them for at least the next 10 years. Trading more expensively than its peers. Would like it at the $47 level.
