CVE

BUY

An excellent name. Would be a core holding. One of the best names in terms of the integrateds. They are very efficient users of capital. Not inexpensive, but certainly off its highs. Reasonable entry point.

HOLD

If you are positive on oil/gas, you should continue holding this one. A premier company.

TOP PICK

Feels that oil prices are going to take another run at $70/75 in 2006. This stock has corrected quite significantly, about 30%. Fundamentals look great. Almost a 39% ROE. Because it pays out only a nominal dividend yield, it’s probably growing its book value at 25% per annum.

BUY

One of the best run companies in the integrated area. Expecting some announcements on the McKenzie vally pipeline. If it's positive, this company would be a candidate for a rise in price.

HOLD

(Caller wanted to know of a switch from any of his majors into another one for better value.) If you want to trade into another major, going into Shell (SHC-T) would be a good one. Shell has underperformed Imperial and it shouldn't have. He wouldn't recommend switching, but this is one possibility.

DON'T BUY

Thinks it's got ahead of itself. There was a lot of US buying and expects there will be more profit taking by them.

BUY

They will make a lot of money on the refining end. With the pull back this week, it's certainly interesting.

BUY

Expecting and hoping that there will be a share split which will be good for the share price. Could eventually be taken out by Exxon (XOM-N).

BUY

A great company with a great store of value. Good long term hold. There could be a stock split.

HOLD

A key company in Canada and is reaching up into the northern part of the country such as the McKenzie.

BUY

A very balance energy company with very strong refinery and gasoline operations. Has lagged other companies, but if oil pries drop, it will outperform those others.

BUY

Imperial Oil (IMO-T) versus Petro Canada (PCA-T). His problem with Petro Canada is that he doesn't understand what they are going to do after 2007. Imperial oil is just a money making machine.

BUY

Probably the best run senior oil company in Canada.

BUY

If oil falls, this company won't be affected as much as some of the other oils. You have increasing dividends from them.

DON'T BUY

Has some great properties in the McKenzie Delta, but would prefer Petro Canada (PCA-T). Better value and a lower P/E multiple.
