Jamie Murray 
He sold all of his direct energy exposure Jan 31. He thinks there is a $55 to $60 for WTI going forward. He has a negative view of this sector going forward. Pipelines and mid-streamers is the place to be and there is a good story behind the return of capital, but it is simply a tough story. He would stay away from it.
Pipelines. If he didn't know the name of the stock, he would say it has built quite a nice base without any real euphoric volume. Doesn't know what will move this if it hasn't moved yet, but it looks like the risk would be to the upside, not the downside. If he owned it, he would continue holding, but if not, he would be a buyer. Dividend yield of 2.8%.
A pipeline giant. Got highly depressed and there were concerns around the balance sheet, and he thought management had really changed their tune as to where they were going to allocate capital. Instead of getting bigger at all costs, they started getting better. It resulted in a much better free cash flow yield, so he got into this one. Dividend yield of 2.6%.

He really likes this. You are starting to see a bottom form in energy, in terms of fundamentals. Land rigs are down to a 5-year low. Deepwater rigs are at a 5-year low. If they can get some help with OPEC cutting production, that would help a lot. We’re still oversupplied on energy, but the growth rate supply has come down significantly. This company is essentially the superhighway of oil and gas in the US. They have really improved their balance sheet. The dividend has been cut and you are now getting a 3.4% yield. Now that Berkshire Hathaway is a shareholder, investors can give a little sigh of relief.
