Eric NuttallEOG Resources IncEOGTOP PICKAug 19, 2013

Can do either. In Canada, he choose CNQ, and EOG in the U.S. CNQ acts like an annuity, requiring massive upfront investment, but cash flows for a long time. EOG has unique assets. But he wouldn't buy energy now. The supply chain problems now won't last forever. You can buy either stock on a pullback.

It will be a complicated report today. Prices in Q4 declined which will effect free cash flow. He expects EOG to reduce capex full year, which the street night like.

He likes rising natural gas prices and more share buybacks. This has outperformed the energy sector by 10% in the past 52 weeks.

A US name to look at if you don't want to deal with the geopolitical or the heavy-oil takeaway capacity. Those constraints wouldn't affect this non-Canadian name. Probably the lowest-cost operator in the US, and one of the lowest globally. Does well operating in the counter-cyclical model.

Sharp selloff along with the price of oil, and it's just to do with the economic sensitivity of the commodity. Yield is 3.2%.

He's overweight energy, but supply/demand hasn't rewarded him yet. It reported a beat, but shares are up only 1% today and he's disappointed.

Great management. He's been watching it.

A low-cost oil producer that can support their dividend at much-lower oil prices.

The unique thing is their cost profile -- it is very low compared to peers. The trouble for CVE is getting their production out of Canada. That is why he favours pipelines over producers. There is too much commodity price risk, so he would not be a buyer. You might want to consider EOG instead as they do not have pipeline constraints to worry about.
