TOP PICK

Being acquired by Marathon (MRO-N). He is buying it for the sum of the parts of the valuation. Basically what you are getting with the Marathon take out is cash and about 33% of stock. You also get a junior international exploreco, Western Zagros in Kurdistan, where there are significant light oil deposits. Market is not fully valuing this company.

COMMENT

Being acquired by Marathon (MRO-N). If you are looking to buy for long-term capitalization, don't do it.

HOLD

Being acquired by Marathon (MRO-N). Being in oil sands play is one of the more important things in this country. Key, long life assets.

HOLD

Because of the royalty issues in Alberta, this would be a hold until it is know what is going to happen.

BUY

Marathon Oil (MRO-N) has made an offer to acquire. Part of the deal was for them to spin off their Kurdistan assets. Stock has been trading at a premium to the offer that could mean the market thinks a higher bid is coming or if the market is ascribing more value to the Kurdistan asset than originally thought. He feels it is the latter. Be surprised to see a competing offer come in.

COMMENT

Marathon Oil (MRO-N) has made an offer for this company. Strong likelihood that there will be another bidder.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 8/06. Up 41.6%.) Subject of a takeover right now and he doesn't expect another bid. Sold his holdings.

COMMENT

Prefers UTS Energy (UTS-T). Possibility of a takeover by Marathon (MRO-N).

HOLD

Marathon Oil (MRO-N) is looking to acquire this company. Not sure if there will be any further bids, but she is holding her stocks.

BUY

Could be an acquisition target going forward.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 8/06. Up 37.9%.) Sold his holdings because of rumours of a takeover when the stock jumped. Stock is the longer cheap.

DON'T BUY

This is 20% of Shell’s oil sands project. Has terrific leverage to doubling its production over time. Little worried that the stock is moving up on rumour.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Rose dramatically on rumours of a takeover by Total. If you are patient, it could come off a little further.

DON'T BUY

Don't add position. Not too excited about it.

HOLD

A takeover target. Fairly valued at this stage.
