TOP PICK

Hess Corp.(HES)

Jul 24, 2009
Has probably about the best leverage to crude. Has great torque to oil prices going higher. International player. Lots of prospectivity. Quarterly results come out on July 29 and you could wait until then before buying. Great balance sheet.

Enbridge(ENB.TO)

Only pipeline that is an oil pure play in North America. Offers visible 10% growth in earnings for foreseeable future. Signalled they won't come to the market and dilute share price when they need money.

Suncor Energy Inc(SU.TO)

Merger with Suncor (SU-T) is pretty much a done deal. This one is in the penalty box right now because of a poor quarter. Long-term, this is a phenomenal company to hold.

COMMENT

Opti Canada Inc.(OPC.TO)

Doesn't like the company's prospects. The only reason to hold is if a bid emerges and it gets sold. Nexen (NXY-T) would be the logical buyer.
