DON'T BUY
Had to cut distributions by about 50% due to increased competition and higher costs. Had margin pressures.
DON'T BUY
Cut their distributions due to a squeeze by high oil prices.
BUY
Likes very much. One of the better growth stories going forward. Some very good acquisition opportunities. 9 1/2% yield.
BUY
One of their top picks in the energy sector. Reserve life index is average for the group. Conservative payout ratio of about 70%. Predominately natural gas. Good management.
BUY
A more conservative fund and one of the top business funds.
BUY
A good oil and gas trust.
BUY
Outlook for their sector is quite attractive. Should continue to see high drilling in Western Canada.
BUY
Good track record. 2nd highest reserve life index at just over 12 years with low decline rates.
DON'T BUY
A very good mill and a low cost producer. A single asset type of trust with some volatility, so if anything should go wrong with that facility, they won't have cash flow. Demand for pulp has gone up and prices are near their cyclical highs.
STRONG BUY
Has a number of good years ahead of it. Rather than a declining reserve, they have the opportunity to grow production. In the middle of a big expansion program now. Very sensitive to oil prices.
DON'T BUY
Has had a very rough history. Cut distributions a number of times. Sector is starting to recover, but the hotel sector still has a lot of risk.
WAIT
Sold his holdings because of the convertible debenture issued. Too early to go back in. Expect their will be a lot of tax selling towards the end of the year and will look at it at that time.
HOLD
Has had a couple of bad months. Looks like one of their proprties may not be economical to mine. Top notch management team. Doesn't expect a lot in the short term.
DON'T BUY
Dropped because they were hit by rebels in the Phillipines. Too risky.
BUY
An incredible success story. Could end up as a trust.
