DON'T BUY

It has not been moving, but that is good news considering what has been happening in the sector. His model price is $11.33 and we had a negative transit last week. He feels it comes back to $10.21 and fools around for some time there. It is probably dead money for some time. Negative transit is when there are negative fundamentals ahead. It is one of his company’s systems of analysis. Maybe you get interested at the $10.20 area.

COMMENT

Loves this as a company, but is not particularly enamoured with the stock at around $12.50. You are paying forward for a lot of great execution that they have had. Trading at around 9X next year’s cash (?) at $55. On an unhedged basis, it would be around 10.5. That is a very high multiple grant. Team has done a phenomenal job, but it feels like you are forward paying for that. Prefers other names where he can pay a 2 point discount on as good of a business model in terms of with sustainability of the dividend or the growth model.

TOP PICK

This is a good area to start building an energy position. What he likes about the smaller companies that is that every new barrel adds well to the balance sheet on a growth basis. His company has an $18 target on this.

BUY

Always a "go-to" name. The dividend is absolutely secure. The projects they have are light oil projects and are stellar. They will continue to hold it. There is also a growth aspect when oil prices start to go up. Also they are known acquirers. He would not be surprised to see more acquisitions.

COMMENT

Very well hedged through the end of the year, and as they get into 2016 it is still around 40% at above average prices. Efficiencies are top-notch, and thinks you will continue to see them ratcheted down, so no concerns, even in this environment, for another 6-9 months.

DON'T BUY

He has a very low weighting in the energy sector. There is a lot of pressure on these companies. From a long term perspective, most companies are now undervalued. Net flows of funds in the markets are away from energy. He expects continued pressure on these stocks. He expects oil to dip to the low $30s before the end of the year. Third quarter results are going to be brutal for a lot of these companies. This one is probably one of the better producers and could get financed to make acquisitions.

PAST TOP PICK
(Past Top Pick, Feb. 12, 2015, down 17.79%.) Thinks it's a great company, but it has been hurt by the fact that it's a dividend payer. Thinks they will be a survivor in this market. They haven't had to cut their dividend yet, and doesn't think they will. Their hedges will roll off in 2016, and that might effect things if the commodity prices don't change. Their yield is good and that reflects the stockholders confidence in the company as well as their dividend.
PAST TOP PICK

(A top pick July 25/14. Down 38.19%.) Has been in and out of this name twice since then. It was a name that was holding up better than most. Doesn’t think a dividend cut is in the cards until Q1 of next year. Debt is quite low relative to its peers.

TOP PICK

Healthy dividend, good management team, good institutional following for raising money when they need to grow by acquisition. 6.5% yield. It has sold off, but does not have a balance sheet problem.

COMMENT

This is the one junior oil that he held. Well-managed and a good company. When he is ready to start adding to the oils, this is one he will be adding. His company has this with an $18 target and as a sector outperform. Management has delivered very well over the last couple of years. Dividend yield of 7%.

BUY

Sell PrairieSky (PSK-T) and move to White Cap (WCP-T)? It depends on what your cost is in PrairieSky. If you have a good cost base and you have good money into it, he doesn’t think he would Sell to buy this company, although he thinks this company is the best run of all the dividend companies out there. Thinks this is good for a trip back up to $15-$16 in a stronger energy scenario. Dividend yield of 6.4%.

COMMENT

He likes this. It is one of the better names out there. The commodity is very important and probably the most important determinant of it, but it is also overall sentiment. Excellent quality name.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 12/14. Down 9.95%.) Excellent management. They are hedged pretty well for both this year and next. Debt levels are good relative to their peers. Low payout ratios. He sold most of his holdings last year. This is a fine play to hold.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 12/15. Down 0.52%.) This is a beautiful dividend payer and really shows how a dividend model should be run. Very well-run company. Have never cut the dividend since inception. They hedged really well this year, which has helped a lot. They also look good for next year as well.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick June 9/14, Down 10.03%) He really liked the company. It is now really attractively priced. He would start rebuilding your position.
