(A Top Pick Mar 20/17, Up 4%)  His only energy stock.  It is not a producer but is a royalty company.  They missed on production guidance by 900 barrels and they lost 8-9% and it makes no sense to him.  He likes it.  It is a way to have oil exposure without capital risk.  It is nice light oil.  The balance sheet is impeccable.

One of the oil patch casualties that has actually done okay. He likes royalty structures because you don’t have capital investment risks, and this one has no debt on the balance sheet. Oil price recovery gives them torque to the upside. During the horrific oil environment of 2015-2016, they proved their ability to generate good cash flow. Dividend yield of 2.7%. (Analysts’ price target is $34.75.)

(A Top Pick Sept 2/15. Up 8.33%.) This is an easy one, because it is a royalty. There is no drilling involved. Essentially, all the cash flow can be paid out to shareholders. There is no debt involved in the story. However, the valuation is really stretched now.

He loves this at $15. Because other people drill their land, you don’t quite know how the world is going to play out. The gas market has had a great jump in gas, and this looks a lot better. It is a great thing to own long-term, but he would just like to try and steal it if he can be patient. He came within $2 in the spring.

If you owned Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T), then you now own some of this stock’s shares. A royalty company and very, very expensive. 

A very good business model. You collect a nice stream of cash, depending on how much people put into the ground in your zone. Keep in mind that there is torque to the model. When energy prices are higher, more people want to drill and you get better pricing. Today it is the exact opposite. Management is very competent and are return oriented. If looking for a high-quality way to play energy, this is the perfect type of business.

(A Top Pick Jan 20/15. Down 12.92%.) Down because of energy prices, but also companies are drilling less on their lands. Also, did a large asset swap with Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T) in exchange for shares, and because of financial concerns of CNQ, they may want to be selling some of those shares. The Short interest in this company is very high because of concerns that they are going to cut their dividend. That should really shock no one.
