COMMENT

Recent merger with Universal Energy (UEG-T) gives them a powerful sales force in Ontario, New York, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. Also got an ethanol plant in Saskatchewan. Will be quite strong but the issues are low natural gas prices and lack of a catalyst. Consumers don't like locking in lower gas prices. Have been issues with foreclosures in the US.

TOP PICK

His 3 Picks are resistance to recession/depression. A marketer of natural gas and everyone needs gas for heating. Growing and have increased distribution many, many times and believes they will do it in 2009. Believes the yield of almost 11% is safe.

TOP PICK

Market gas to homeowners with 5-year contracts. Recession proof. New management team has different strategies. Last 2 quarters have hit records with new customers. Expect them to grow 5%-10%. 15% yield.

COMMENT

In the trust sector, their balance sheet is not that heavily debt laden. Real concern is they haven't had the number of customers signing up that had been expected. This is one that he would look at. Well-managed. 12.5% yield.

TOP PICK

Extremely well managed. With low natural gas prices, it's a terrific time to sign up and lock in their price. Has been beaten up despite good growth performance. 13% yield.

COMMENT

Has been suffering a little because of flat sales over the last couple of quarters. Will probably do better in 2009 because of reduced labour costs, less competition and a lower Cdn$. They may be able to make some accretive acquisitions over the next 12 months.

TOP PICK

Had 29 distribution increases since they first went public. Will be doing a bid for 10% of the company. Have never had debt. Abundant cash flow so they can still pay distribution.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Now getting into the electricity business. Looks cheap at these levels.

COMMENT

Has been a lot of turmoil with the CEO leaving. There has been a slowdown in signing up customers, which has affected the stock price. Market is expecting their cash flow per unit to go from $1.20 last year to about $1.40. This is a very high payout with their current distribution. There are some risks but always liked their business model.

BUY

They are in the business of selling natural gas contracts, a high margin business. Owns a little of this for some of his income oriented accounts. The payout is quite stable.

TOP PICK

Good track record with increasing its cash flow every year at 15% plus. Has no debt. When it converts to a corporation in 2010, it should be a very attractive equity. Expects it to double over the next 4-5 years.

COMMENT

Has lots of potential in front of it. Buys natural gas and hydro wholesale and sells retail. Have had some difficulty moving into the US market, which is much more competitive.

COMMENT

This company does not like warm weather and it is hard to sell 4-5 year gas/hydro contracts door-to-door when the weather is temperate. It could be an opportunity for a longer-term investor. Good business model and energy prices are not going to stay low forever.

BUY

Has performed very well, increasing its distributions many times. Continues to have a good solid business. Natural gas marketing and now electricity marketing both here and the US should continue to be very profitable.

SELL

Does not like the company. Balance sheets are slowly sliding away which means they are overpaying in terms of the payout. The price to book ratio is egregiously high.
