BUY

This could be a takeover target. Would only buy it here if you took a three-year view.

WEAK BUY

If you are prone to long-term plays, this is probably one of the better energy companies around. It is certainly the one big play on natural gas. Like their strategy of calling for the deep gas. Their valuation is a little richer than the rest of the group, but they'll probably maintain that because of the properties they have. Still worried about where natural gas prices are going in the short-term.

BUY

A great story. Some management changes have worried investors, but the people coming on are good managers. Some very good growth prospects. The drop in price is a buying opportunity.

BUY

The price of natural gas is down. This is still virtually 70% up from last year. The North American complex is short of natural gas. This is where you want to be over the next few years.

BUY

Had 2 terrible quarters, probably due to bad weather. There were also some management changes. They have fantastic assets. The drop in price is a buying opportunity.

BUY

Have had some recent disappointments on the financial side on their earnings and cash flow. This is a shorter term issue and this company has a tremendous land bank. A well-run business. If the oil industry does well, it will do well. Would prefer a direct play in the oil sands, but you should not get hurt with this one.

TOP PICK

A terrifically compelling story. They have a huge amount of natural gas which is in high demand. A 5 to 20 year play.

DON'T BUY

Has been trimming his portfolio to raise cash to buy other stocks. This company could be taken out down the road.

TOP PICK

This is the heavyweight in the natural gas market and usually smaller companies have more ability to grow but this suits his investment purposes perfectly. Thinks he can get a 10/12% return out of it.

DON'T BUY

Came out with indifferent earnings and production had not increased as they anticipated. Their hedging program had cost them a lot more than he had anticipated. They just lost their president and their CFO. Has moved it from his "hot" list to his "wait and see" list.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 31/05. Down 2%.) Has a big exposure to natural gas and gas is where he wants to be.

BUY

Down 30% since July because 1) they announced that they had hedged a good portion of their production foreword and 2) natural gas has come down from a spike. A fabulous company. Prospects for it are excellent.

BUY

One of the cheapest producers in Canada. Trading at about 5.5 X cash flow which is a good price.

BUY

Likes this company a lot. Has lagged since the October sell off. There is probably uncertainty because of management changes. First decent long-term value.

DON'T BUY

Have big large hedges on and every quarter they lose over $200 million.
