TOP PICK
Oil has rallied from $30 to $70 but this stock has not and is actually down about 10%. Very strong balance sheet. A most favoured partner for people like Brazil and China who want an international oil company to help in explorations.
DON'T BUY
Chart shows headwinds at around $72. Looks like the momentum has rolled over. 2.3% yield.
COMMENT
Chevron (CVX-N) and Exxon (XOM-N) major integrateds have so many opportunities to grow through acquisition, upstream through downstream and chemicals. Also have stable dividends and great cash flow. This one is one of the premier ones but because of its size is becoming more challenging to increase production growth.
BUY
Would buy this one.
SHORT
Every high seems higher. They found support at $62. Last rally was light volume.
TOP PICK
Very defensive. Doesn't particularly like energy right now but if you are going to be in energy this is the way to go. Outstanding balance sheet. AAA rating. 3.2% dividend.
COMMENT
Pretty much a commodity play. As oil goes, this company goes. If you are going to be moving into the oil area he would prefer a deepwater driller such as Transocean (RIG-N) giving a little more opportunity.
BUY
One of the best oil companies in the world. Not exciting but the stock is held up reasonably well. Good dividend. Conservatively run. When the oil prices turn around, it will do well.
BUY
Out performed their energy peer group dramatically last year. Better positioned globally. Think there are still opportunities here.
TOP PICK
Has owned it for several years, believes oil has hit it's bottom and thinks that oil will go back to $70 - $80 per barrel. Buy it on a pull back, (he paid $65-$66)
DON'T BUY
A pretty volatile stock. A massive company. Doesn't expect a big bump-up in the near future. Will trade with the oil market.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Recent results where excellent.
COMMENT
Recently did a couple of joint ventures in Hungary, but to them this is not significant in the scheme of things. It's a very interesting project.
BUY
Some strength in the US chemical industry. Unbelievable level of profitability there. Not a bad buy. (Wait and see the earnings.)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 21/06. Up 24.1%.) Very conservatively managed. Wouldn't put new money into this one. There are others he likes better at this time.
