TOP PICK
You want something that works and reasonable dividend. (4.2%) Power shortage in Northeast US and Ontario. Good stake with Bruce Power in Ontario and plants in New England and New York State. Excellent management and good valuation.
TOP PICK
4.3% dividend yield. Valuation has been beaten up. Levered to Alberta with strong margins. Continued demand.
TOP PICK
Gives you the ability to walk in when other people are on a mat. You have a good 6 months window to pick up things at a huge discount to historic valuation.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 8/08. Down 48%.) Very inexpensive relative to other companies. Hard to see a catalyst. Will Fort Hills become the catalyst or continue to be a drag? Had a disappointing run in terms of production. Still likes.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 8/08. Down 38.6%.) Geographically diverse. Libya and Brazil were probably the big catalyst last year. Still sees this continuing.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 8/08. Down 81%.) Large geographic position. A play on commodity and if oil goes higher this name will take off. Technological risks as well as a development play so there is no real cash flow. Staying with it another year.
DON'T BUY
Currently up against the ropes. Recently sold 15% of its interests in Nexen (NXY-T) in the Long Lake project. If it can continue to skate on side and not have the banks foreclose, it is potentially a 4 to 5 bagger from here. Also could be zero. Lottery ticket.
COMMENT
Probably has the best oil leverage. Recognized by international investors as a "go to" name.
BUY
Believes oil will go higher in this trust gives you direct leverage to oil prices. Trades at a 40% to 50% discount to its NAV. Shouldn't see much more downside.
SELL
Put themselves up for sale but nothing really happened. Weaker management and properties. Could have a slow death.
BUY
Really clean balance sheet and good management team. A nice little play. Depending on commodities, it could be a double in 12 months.
DON'T BUY
Dead money for all intents and purposes. Filed for bankruptcy protection last week.
HOLD
Could see a 15%-20% distribution cut. Conservative management. Unique business model. Refining margins are down so not a lot of upside but transportation fuels have held up relatively well in Western Canada..
BUY
Gives double exposure. If oil moves 10% this will have a corresponding move of 20%, up or down. Gives you diversity. When you get into a basket of equities, this makes sense. You could have 2% or 3% of your portfolio. Thinks oil will spike higher from this level.
HOLD
Thinks this will see $50 or more in 1 or 2 years. Very solid. You are essentially biting into annuity stream of barrels. While they have lots of planned increased production coming, they are curtailing it during low commodity prices.
