The Canadian $ is going to go to par. Arrived at through following the analysis of debt to GDP. John Manley, 2 years ago, and now Ralph Goodale see Debt to GDP falling to about 20%. If you look back to about 1973, the CDn$ was around par, GDP was around 20%. He also says the Canadian $ should no longer exist. In the next 5 to 8 years we have to get rid of this Canadian dollar, we’ve got to join with a bigger currency block ala the United States, because having one currency with 35 million people and really one hedge fund can blow this thing out of the way, our Canadian businesses are taking so much risk now with this dollar and its volatility, it just can’t happen.

Have not run their business that well. Losing market share. The deal with Coors is not going to solve a lot of problems. A low to no growth business.

Sees limited downside. The stock is waiting for the deal to happen. If it happens, feels the transaction will be in the $24.50/25 range. If it doesn't happen, it's an incredibly cheap stock.

A good company. Buy under $7. Had some problems with wet weather in the 3rd quarter, so production has been a little weak.

85% is gas of which more sour gas which is more expensive to process. 55/60% payout ratio.

Had a nice correction some time ago and have formed a base. There will be a consumer boom. Put a stop/loss at $31.

Feels utilities are OK.

One of the most conservative and stable income trusts you can get. As close to a bond as you can get. Dropped when fears of interest rate increases started. Made a couple of accretive acquisitions.

A natural gas coal-bed methane play. Have finally gotten their acquisition together, so is looking interesting.

Coming under increased currency pressures. Expect a distribution cut down the road.

Management is doing a great job.

Positive on the markets they are in, particularily copper. Believes they are in play and will get taken out.

Likes it more because of the possibility of what's happening. Doesn't see a lot of downside. Could be a takeover down the road.

Trading around 13/14 X next year's earnings. Nice growth in production.

China is interested in the company which could breath some life into it.
