PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 2/06. Down 5%.)

COMMENT

Feels we are coming close to the bottom of where the new range for energy is going to be. Would use a trading range and buy near the 52-week low and sell when it gets near its high. This is a strategy he would use on oil stocks.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Anytime you can get it under $40, it is very attractive.

BUY

A possible takeover by its parent Exxon Mobil (XOM-N). Could see a take out at something like $50.

BUY

If you were going to speculate on an oil stock going higher, this is one that he thinks is a good trading opportunity. It has an unbelievable 43% ROE.

DON'T BUY

The largest integrated in Canada. Hasn't really gone anywhere over the last year. A good, safe place to be, not when you want to make money you'll do better in the purer plays. Suncor (SU-T) and Petro Canada (PCA-T) would be better choices.

BUY

Has a take out offer from its corporate parent Exxon (XOM-N). Will they buy out the minority shares. He doesn't care as it is one of the better run integrated companies. Decent dividend.

BUY

Doesn't think that Exxon will buy them out. If you are bullish on energy, this will do as well as any of the integrated.

DON'T BUY

Canada's largest integrated. A lot of its production comes out of the Cold Lake area. Has a number of interesting assets, 25% of Syncrude, the dominating player in the McKenzie Delta area and will be the primary driver behind the McKenzie Valley pipeline. The stock has become expensive.

HOLD

Of the integrateds it has probably been one of the best performers. Great management and great properties. None of them have done as well as the producing companies.

DON'T BUY

Of the integrated companies, prefers Petrocan (PCA-T) which is cheaper. Has an immense holding of properties and technology and has a lot of hidden value. Finds it expensive.

WEAK BUY

Will be doing very well from the standpoint of the commodity moving higher. Strong cash flows. Numbers coming out are very good. Looking out to 2010 before there is much increase in growth of production. Probably better alternatives.

DON'T BUY

Prefers Petrocan (PCA-T) even though they were a little short on earnings and production. This one doesn't have the same growth profile. Will go up and down with oil price.

DON'T BUY

A high-quality stock. Peaked out in August/05. Will probably just hold support which means it is just dead money.

HOLD

Has hung in as well as anything has on the oil side. Good long-term hold. In the short run, it is getting impacted by the market sector.
