This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

Obsidian Energy, traded under the symbol OBE-T, has a somewhat contentious CEO, which may impact investor perceptions and confidence. While the company has reported fairly good well results, its market capitalization is notably small, rendering it largely irrelevant to most institutional investors who typically seek larger and more stable options. This suggests potential risks associated with liquidity and volatility that could deter more conservative investors. Experts recommend considering better names within the sector, indicating a preference for companies with stronger fundamentals and larger market presence. Overall, while Obsidian Energy shows some operational promise, its positioning in the market might limit its appeal for a broader investment base.

CNE, CNE.TO
BUY
If needed, can convert back to a common stock. Has vast acres to develop with lots of internal growth opportunities. Good-quality management.
DON'T BUY
If you are looking at royalty trusts, you really have to look at what is going on right now. If you're waiting for a government ruling, this is speculation.
PAST TOP PICK

(Top Short July 21/06. Down 30.7%.) Probably an interesting Buy at this point. If you own, Hold.

BUY
Would put this one in the winner category. Good price.
HOLD
Subject to the same tax problems as other trusts, which will evolve over the next 4 years. You’ll get a seasonal trade in the oil/gas trusts as we move into the new year. Payouts look extremely attractive.
DON'T BUY
On average doesn’t find trusts to be as attractively valued as corporations. For the same $1 of investment, you can buy more reserves or production or earnings or cash flow, etc by buying a high quality corporation.
COMMENT
Large and liquid. Have significant amounts of capital needs to sustain production. Exploring in interesting areas.
WAIT
Very badly beaten up on the income trust issues. One of the best operational teams. Lots of resource plays. Fair chunk of US ownership, so has a potential of selling off in the next little while.
BUY
Current yield is about 11%. Looks very attractive.
WEAK BUY
One of the largest oil/gas trusts. Have concerns on how they will replace their production. Have improved their capital efficiencies. Good long-term holding.
COMMENT
Technically, the damage of the last couple of days broke some important chart points. Typically, a 52-week low is a place to want to enter a stock and this is getting very close to that.
TOP PICK
Given the carnage in the trust sector, and that he was asked for a trust, this is the one he has to go with. It is actually trading as an oil company. As a huge Fair Market Value. Trading cheaper than the average oil company. Good management.
BUY
A high-quality name that should be held in your portfolio. Involved in a lot of exciting big resource plays when it comes to CO2 flooding and oil sands.
BUY
Very liquid, high quality name. Low payout ratio. Long reserve life. High quality management.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 1/05. Up 24.3%.) A favourite. Now into a Hold range. Under $40, it's a Buy. Has 5 million acres of undrilled land. 9.4% yield.
