This is doing quite well in this environment. Has been able to grow its EBITDA this year. One of the lowest payout ratio companies in its universe. This presents an opportunity for people that are looking for a safe yield. The 6.5% dividend is absolutely safe.

A great company with one of the best management teams in Calgary. Has the oil upside which is where you really want to be right now, because the commodity is bottoming. Given where commodity prices are now, there are a lot of dividend cuts, and Torc hasn’t had its turn yet, but she feels management is considering it. The payout ratio is higher than comparable companies. Dividend yield of about 11%.

A natural gas specialist. This is a “Best in class” company in the oil/gas space. Has been able to maintain some growth in this environment as well as maintaining its balance sheet. They are really good at hedging. Have enormous torque to the Montney gas play, and there is a lot of upside to the story on this.

A great, solid, well-run company, and you can tell that by the way it trades. Free cash flow profile looks healthy, which is good for the investor. Because it is such a good quality company with less beta than the rest of the group, in a rising price environment you are not going to get as much appreciation as you would in some others. This is a company you don’t want to own coming out of a recovery. Also. refining margins are coming down. Feels some of the best upside is going to be in the pure play rather than in an integrated story.

A player in Argentinian shale. A really interesting company, and if you have a little bit of money where you want to play some significant torque, this is an interesting one. Argentina for her is a “no go zone” because of their historical issues of taking assets away. However, the country is improving politically.

A very well-managed company with a strong cash flow profile. The opportunity for pipeline growth is diminishing. A company like this is good for a safe, secure dividend, but the market doesn’t like that its growth profile is limited. Dividend yield of 7.6%.

A Montney player with a lot of elements for a good potential story. Feels there is a lot of upside, especially with the Waskahigan play. With all these small gas companies, liquidity is a problem. This one has a pretty low debt to cash flow, but the room they have in their lines is somewhat limited. She would like to see it through another credit facility valuation, and that will be coming quite soon for a lot of these companies. Once you are quite certain that the liquidity is there, it would be a good entry point. It is worth a small turn at these prices.
