TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

EC is Colombia's state-owned integrated oil company.  It recently reported all-time earnings.  Production grew 4% to over 720,000 bpd.  It trades at 7x earnings, 1.2x book value and boasts a ROE of 34%.  An $0.827 dividend was declared for holders on April 26.  Last year a secondary dividend was declared later in the year.  We recommend placing a stop-loss at $8.75, looking to achieve $14 -- upside potential of 21%.  Yield 7.2%   

(Analysts’ price target is $14.09)
BUY

Integrated Colombian oil company. Had a big pull back in the middle of the year, but over the last 5 years, it has done really well. Colombian government is very comfortable with the oil sector and has a very big position in this stock. 5.7% dividend yield.
