Stock Opinions by John Clarke

BUY
Oilexco Inc
The last well that they drilled tested 3 1/2 thousand barrels. Indications from the company is that they can have 30 to 40 million barrels in the one area. Very volatile, but worth a buy.

TOP PICK
Niko Resources
Exposed to huge gas reserves on the East Coast of India where demand for energy is extremely strong. Good price.

WEAK BUY
Had some problems on the East Coast of Canada. Have attractive acreage and potential but at the moment, there is new management and this might be a buying opportunity.

BUY
Encana Corp
Doesn't feel oil/gas stocks are reflecting the true price of oil. Likes their focus on North American gas. Have been very aggressive.

TOP PICK
Good management. The drilling program of 23 wells over the next 1 1/2 years is driving this stock. The risk/reward is compelling.
oil / gas
BUY
Recently announced a good looking discovery off West Africa and their production is growing.

HOLD
Has no production. Operates in Algeria. Has gone up because of expectations of good news in the first two weeks of May. May be too late to get in on the action.
