CVE

BUY

In a hot oil market it will not do well. No debt, low cost producer. Makes incredible amounts of money.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 4/08. Up 11.4%.) Not one of the oils that he favours right now because it is meandering and below the 200 day moving average. It could drop even further.

BUY

At a pretty critical point in the broad markets in general so he is defensive and has cut his position back a little. A good buy under $40. Excellent track record of delivering value. Excellent balance sheet and fantastic asset base.

BUY

Likes it. It’s a boring company. They have good assets and will continue to do well. Does not go up and down as much as oil. It’s a well-run boring company. Will grow slowly over a period of time. It is a core holding.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes the stock but by virtue of market sentiment you'll be able to pick it up a little cheaper. Great fundamentals, great balance sheet.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Solid, solid company.

BUY

If you are looking for a great long-term stock, this has one of the best records in the oil patch. Very well run. Have a growth path that is looking pretty good. Building the Kearl project, and integrated oil sands project. He would slightly prefer Suncor (SU-T) but you can't go wrong with either one. A long-term play. 1% yield.

BUY

Turned a corner and he likes what he sees than what he saw in the past. Had been reinvesting a small amount of their cash flow mostly into the Cold Lake area for heavy oil extraction. Announced the Kearl project, which is very exciting and will have good economic return for them. This will increase their production substantially. Likes it for a slow, steady hold.

BUY

Has some good upside potential. It's about the execution of their long life assets. Good growth profile over the next few years. Great internal rates of return.

WAIT

Oils have had a nice move and he would be inclined to let it firm and show a bit of strength on the upside. Only 1% yield. Entering in the shoulder season on oil. Good company with great assets.

BUY

One of the class acts in the integrated space. Tremendous converters of capital to cash flow and profit. Average annual returns over the last 25 years has been above 13% a year including dividends and capital gains.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) He is warm to the oils and this is a good name to own.

BUY

His partners like the long-term projects. Stock was under pressure recently because of bad results. Sees a lot of growth

DON'T BUY

(Market Minute) Lagged the market.

TOP PICK

Think they can get Kearl oil sands costs in the $20's. Incredibly disciplined people. Looking for an annual ROI of about 10%. Yield of 0.93%.
