DON'T BUY

The stock is in a bit of a difficult phase right now. Better value elsewhere at this time.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 1/06. Down 17.5%.) Have a massive land base and some oil sands play. Gas weighted. Perfect model to convert back to a corporation in 4 years.

HOLD

Doesn't feel they will cut the distribution. There should be a rally in this area over the next little while. Has been deeply oversold. Strong company.

BUY

Of the oil/gas trusts, Penn West (PWT.UN-T) and Vermilion (VET.UN-T) are his 2 favourites at this point. Looking for them to be much stronger in the 2nd half of the year.

DON'T BUY

He is not encouraging people to go into energy trusts at this time. If you are interested in them, this one has a nice broad asset base with some strong undeveloped land potential. Converting back to a corporation would be relatively easy for them. Very high payout ratio.

BUY

Income trusts hit a snag that he is not sure how to evaluate. Technically, this one has broken down and is developing resistance. With current weakness in energy prices, we are coming close to the low end of where the new range of energy might be. The support from November to the present is very important. Don't let it make a lower low than November’s. Think about it as a trading range over the next 6 months.

BUY

One of the larger energy trusts. Getting near their 52-week low. Very good management and land holdings. Have a fairly good production growth profile. Yield is about 12%.

BUY

Has been weak lately, but has lots of potential with CO2 oil sands projects.

DON'T BUY

One of his favourite E&P trusts. One of the best oil/gas producers out there. The largest landholder in the Pembina area. Sold his holdings at $38, but would be interested if it got down to the low $30’s.

COMMENT

Largest conventional oil/gas trust. Have some interesting projects. Doing some CO2 projects and they need to get the CO2 to the fields very economically. Would prefer to buy 10% lower.

BUY

Can easily convert back to the corporate model if needed. Dramatically improved efficiencies by farming out lower return properties. Significant land base.

HOLD

Has recovered fairly well since the trust market hit. Expect its payout is pretty secure.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 30/05. Down 3.1%.) Hit by the ruling on income trusts. Still likes it. Low payout. Could convert back to an oil/gas company. Good management.

TOP PICK

Ignoring that it is a trust, the Price/Book Value would be one the cheapest of the oil stocks. Pays a nice dividend and will for some time to come. Likes energy.

BUY

Good management. Excellent reserve life. Should survive the changeover in 2011.
