Focus Energy Trust (FET.UN.TO)

WAIT
If you think gas is going to do well when we get into the winter heating season, this is one that you could pick up. Recently made an acquisition of Profico, Saskatchewan properties, that looked very interesting. A lot of in-fill drilling needs to be done. 74% payout ratio. Add when gas markets are soft.
BUY
Possible merger with Profico Energy. This is one of his favourites in the natural gas area. Likes it and will be buying at some point.
BUY
Recently announced the acquisition of Profico. She is comfortable with this trust. It is one of the survivors in the oil/gas trusts. Low payout ratio. Trading at a reasonable price versus its peers.
TOP PICK
Recently made a strategic acquisition. Have a lot of drilling prospects. Low risk. Tighter gas, so they will produce for a longer period of time. Will produce about 24,000 barrels a day.
BUY
This meets all his criteria on gas oriented trusts.
BUY
(Caller asked about gas weighted trusts that Michael liked.) He tends to be defensive. Has some hedges of 9/$10 over the summer.
BUY
The yield is 11% so meets his criteria. He likes it and owns it, and he's buying more.
HOLD
High-quality asset base. Good management team. Low debt. Volatility in energy prices created a sell off. 75% of focused on the natural gas market. A very sustainable trust model.
BUY
Good natural gas play. High quality management team. Long reserve life index. Very stable production going forward.
BUY
Likes natural gas. Have liked this company for a long time. Good management. They fully embrace a sustainable model.
DON'T BUY
A gas weighted trust. His problem is that the trust reflects the current spot price, so it is expensive. A great company, but just didn't move in this last gas rally which is odd.
BUY
Prefers companies that are growing by internal growth, such as this one and Arc Energy (AET.UN-T), Ketch (KER.UN-T), Bonavista (BNP.UN-T), Peyto (PEY.UN-T). They pay out less of their cash flow in order to keep and grow their reserve life.
BUY
One of his favourite royalty trusts. 75% weighted in natural gas. Excellent management team. Below average debt. Payout ratio is about 68% versus 75% average for royalty trust sector. Increased its distributions 3 times since inception. At $20, valuations are a bit stretched, but that's what you pay for class "A" management.
BUY
First choices would be Peyto and Focus with Advantage energy third.
BUY
Likes both Focus and Peyto because they are increasing their reserve on a per unit basis. A decent yield. Will hold for the long term. Will grow through the drill bit rather than by acquisition.
