PVE-T
BUY

Long term potential is very positive. Gas players are going into Alberta and looking for liquid rich gas. This is where PVE comes in and removes the constituent components. Very profitable business.
Has run up less than its competition Keyera (KEY-T), Inter Pipe (IPL.UN-T) and Altagas (ALA-T). In the frac spread area so benefits from that. Is amongst the lowest payout ratios in the group so are equipped to raise their dividend. 100% midstream now.
Extreme company that focuses on infrastructure. Have a great development pipeline, which they can potentially expand their services. Confident that they will be able to increase their dividends in the next 12-18 months. Valuations in this sector are getting a little bit stretched.
Mid-streamer. Takes the liquids out of the gas stream and sells it at a price closer to oil. Earnings are kind of at the top of it's cycle. A Hold not a Buy but he likes the name. Yield of 5.6%.
A kind of hybrid facility type company that has sold off production. He owns the convertible debenture, which is a safer way and still has pretty good yield. Good way to get some yield and have protection in case anything happens.
Thinks it is the bargain interpipe. Has been buying for quite some time. 40% of cash flow from frack spreads. They will stay terrific. Nat Gas will not make a comeback this year. 10% gain plus dividend in this stock.
A great company and business, and he likes the space. It is a mid-stream play on oil. It should do quite well here. There is good strong growth in cash flow and a relatively low payout ratio. Caution would be that the space has had a good run.
Being acquired by Pembina Pipeline (PPL-T) in a couple of weeks. Might be a very smart strategy to buy into this one now as a way of getting into Pembina. You get a little bit of accretion when it is taken over. Good defensive name with midstream assets.
