Oil and gas and a refinery in Newfoundland. Doesn't like trusts that have refineries, as there is a lot of CapX. Earnings and cash flow are quite volatile. This one has far too much debt.

Korea National Oil Company have offered to acquire but will be subject to government approval. If you own and have a nice profit and are close to the bid, Sell and that the arbitrageurs take the risk.

Sharply penalized because of narrow margins on the refinery side. Margins have been coming back. There are other companies that have more stability in the group but they have been doing better on both sides of their operation and that should continue. 8%+ yield.

Their payout is not very high but their debt is. The debt will become due in about 1 year. They'll probably do another equity issue so she wouldn't be surprised if they cut the distribution.

Conventional oil/gas production in Western Canada and refining in Newfoundland. Had taken on a lot of debt to acquire the refinery and refining margins have not been good. Doesn't see this changing for while. Changeover in 2011 is another challenge and they have their work cut out for them.

As with many of the trusts, there is a risk that the 9.6% yield could be cut going into 2011. Their refinery business has been quite challenging.

Hasn't participated in the upside. Cheap, but for a reason. Refining operations will continue to be challenged and the upstream operations have never been stellar. Ugly balance sheet.

One of the few companies that has a refinery and have done quite well on the refinery margins. Has been playing this through the convertible bonds, which he thinks is a better way of playing it.

1st quarter on the refining side was very profitable. Debt is high. Need to do capital expenditures on their refinery. Much higher risk than others.

Last quarter had reasonably decent numbers. Downstream was reasonably strong. Likes management but has trouble seeing why you would want to buy this name right now. Thinks it will survive bankruptcy. Refining seems to be in a secular decline.

One of the riskier oil/gas income trust. Huge refinery in the Maritimes. Plant was upgraded and is good. The refinery can swing earnings around significantly. Oil and gas operations have not been that great. Likes the yield of 8.6%. Doesn't expect it to go back to its high levels of a couple of years ago.
