XOM

SELL

Disappointing metrics versus its peers. Maybe slowly turning around but it hasn't shown that yet.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 21/06. Up 23.2%.)

DON'T BUY

Like all oil/gas companies, it has come under pressure recently. He wouldn't buy a US oil/gas company. Prefers Canadian.

DON'T BUY

As a Canadian investor, he wouldn't exchange CDN$ for US$ to buy an oil stock. If you wanted to buy an oil stock in the US, he would suggest Exxon (XOM-N) instead.

TOP PICK

Probably the cheapest stock on the S&P 500. His model price is $101 which is a 76% positive differential.

WEAK BUY

Prefers Chevron (CVX-N). This is an OK company.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 19/06. Up 4%.) His model price is $103, a 63% positive differential. The stock is cheaper today than it was when oil was at the leaven dollars. It gives no respect.

BUY

Like all energy companies, it has done very well. Latest performance results are quite good, production was up strong. Downstream was also very strong. Likes their equity stake in Russia’s Lukoil.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 10/06. Up 4.8%.) Then they bought Burlington Resources which is a huge gas, so the stock has been following the gas prices. One of the cheapest stocks in the US. Still likes.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 29/06. Down 6%.) He is 38% weighted in US oil versus 10% in the S&P 500. Oil took a big hit last month but oil is still at $69. Model price of $95.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 27/06. Up 7%.) He has a model price of $100, a 51% positive differential. Did a great acquisition with Burlington Resources. Dirt cheap.

BUY

Has been volatile because of an acquisition they made earlier this year which had a very big natural gas exposure. The company is coming through very well operationally. Profits are good and ahead of expectations.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 21/05. Up 7.5%.) His model price is about $104 which is a 63% positive differential.

WEAK BUY

A tepid buy. Not the #1 choice he would recommend. They have some integration issues. Probably better buys out there such as British Petroleum.

DON'T BUY

Avoid this sector, could be going down. There is overcrowding in energy stocks. They have been going up for the past 5 years. To make gains you need to get in the sector early.
