BUY

Under valued company and under appreciated. Sound strategy. He is always impressed with them when he meets the CFO. When he looks at integrated oil companies it always rises to the top of the list. 5.6% dividend yield.

COMMENT
Most of the large cap oils have been beaten up. If you are looking for some good healthy dividends, he would suggest Shell (RDS.A-N). If you see a significant pullback, perhaps with higher volatility, Statoil (STO-N) has a very high dividend as well. He would recommend Shell or Statoil over this company.
DON'T BUY
Excellent company and very well-managed. Much better growth than other European majors. Since 2008, it has been a range trade. You have a French government issue but to a much lesser extent. You could do a lot worse.
HOLD
Has really suffered as the crisis of confidence has gone on in Europe. Very well run and has decent production prospects. Its performance in the near-term will be driven by the price of oil. (See Top Picks.)
BUY
Good name to consider but he prefers Royal Dutch Shell. But Total is a fine place to park a bit of money.
BUY
Not a huge fan of the big integrateds. Hard to find very good long-term growth. At this price, it is probably pretty reasonable value. Tarred with the European brush. Have extensive opportunities in Europe right now.
BUY
Hurt but the fact that it is one of the largest stocks on the French index so is subject to shorting. Dividend is very secure. Prefers Royal Dutch Shell. Ease into it.
HOLD
Hold for the yield but not for any capital gain, which wont happen until 2015.
WEAK BUY
Large cap integrated oil company. All have a similar problem, a shortage of reserves and they are loathe to cut production forecasts from quarter to quarter because of fear of share prices being punished. They really need to shrink to grow.
BUY
Strong balance sheet, low debt. This is a fair choice. Prefers Royal Dutch.
COMMENT
Not a big integrated oil guy. Prefers companies that are a little more targeted. They have upstream all the way to downstream, refining, gas stations, etc. 5.7% dividend is great for dividend player.
WEAK BUY
There is an issue that the world is slowing down, going to be a double dip and oil has not done anything so this is the opportunity for oil stocks. Oil will eventually be higher than it is today. Because of what happened with BP in the gulf, there will be more restrictions, which cuts off the supply. He would prefer a Canadian company because of currency risks.
BUY
Very good operators. Asset life is generally good.
DON'T BUY
He would prefer British Petroleum (BP-N) because he can pinpoint where the stock has gotten hit. He can't do that with this one. Part of it could be currency.
COMMENT
Large energy company. Likes oil for the long-term. If you are going to buy oil stocks, Canada has some exceptionally great oil/gas companies so why take on currency risks. This is not the best company internationally but it is good with great cash flow generation.
