Cenovus Energy (CVE.TO)

Cenovus (CVE-T) or Husky (HSE-T)? Slightly different companies but he would favour Cenovus which has a few more catalysts than Husky. You are essentially just collecting a coupon on Husky. Would prefer buying this at around $30-$31. Integrated, so protected from the heavy oil differential.

Oil sands and in trying to have exposure to different types of oil production, this is the name he picked. Have done a great job of bringing on their production in stages. Refining capability really insulated them last year when the heavy oil differentials blew out. Management team is committed to their dividend. Increased their dividend 10% last year and he expects another increase this year.

(A Top Pick June 29/12. Up 3.5%.) Fully integrated company with refineries in Canada and the US so they are getting better pricing than those companies not having a refinery.

Producing a more valuable form of crude than CNQ and it has the downstream piece as well.

Energy space has made nothing over the last couple of years. The next number of years will be much like this. There is not a lot of upside appreciation over the next couple of years. A fine company and no need to worry, but you have to be a trader in the sector.

(Top Pick Nov 25/11, Up 17.56%) Benefited from downstream operations. Margins in refining were good. Good exposure to the oil sands. Well run company.

Their growth will come from the oil sands. Fairly well run company. She doesn`t see a rush to go into it right now. It is ok if you want exposure to that space.

(Top Pick Nov 22/11, Up 12.36%) Great operating business, low cost producer. 50/50 weighting between oil and gas. All cap X is going into oil now.

Has visible production growth. Christina Lake has been at phenomenal performer. They are going to add 20,000 barrels a day this year, next year and the year after that. Also, likes the downstream side of their business. Refining side helps to offset weakness in oil prices.

Chart shows this as range bound between $32 and $40. The best time for oil stocks is in the springtime so you should look at getting into this area in January and February.

Just reported great earnings and beat estimates. In the SAGD project in Alberta and are ahead of schedule on getting the material out of the ground. The attractive part is their joint venture they have in the US for 2 refineries, so are basically hedged.

He is not that bullish on oil and you would have to be bullish on oil before owning this. He would be cautious.

This is the oil sands half of Encana (ECA-T). Prime quality. 2.5% dividend.

Came out with great earnings in the 2^nd quarter. Stock looks really good here. You have to question where oil is going. Anything above $114 a barrel may slow down economic recovery but where we are right now, he likes the oil stocks right here. This is a solid company. Increased cash flow along with production increases.

They are a big player and move with the sector. XEG made its high for the year and made a correction and now we are in the middle of the year. We are in a range with CVE until something happens in Iran. Take some money off the table until 52 week lows. Traders should wait for the dips.
