TOP PICK

Debt-free and has an attractive yield. Expanding into the US. Well run. A defensive kind of oil play.

BUY

Every time there is a cyclical downturn in natural gas, investors think there will be no more drilling. There will be, and they're giving stocks away. This includes all the drillers such as Ensign (ESI-T), Precision Drilling (PD.UN-T) and Calfrac Well Services (CFW-T).

BUY

One of the blue-chip names. Has dropped from around $40 to about $33. Under $33 is not a bad purchase. Cyclical. 10% yield.

DON'T BUY

He has been de-emphasising the oil service side in the current environment. When commodity prices start to fluctuate like there has been, service companies tend to get hit fairly hard.

HOLD

Has been a lot of pressure on drillers because of the price decline in natural gas. Looking out 2-3 years, they should fare quite well, but in the very short term, this and other drilling companies may take some further heat. Doesn't think the distribution is at risk.

WAIT

Has come off with the other services stocks. Basically, it will stay soft/weak as long as the energy picture is slightly negative. Feels it will be a great buying opportunity sometime in the next few months.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 16/06. Down 20%.) A little more concerned about drilling companies then he was. Still holding.

HOLD

Industry is slowing down. Predicts a little more downside. Stay with it if you own. Entry point should be a little lower than here. Long term you will see over $40.00.

TOP PICK

Good time to buy Precision drilling. In the next year they will be drilling at full capacity. In the long term it will be a good investment.

HOLD

Has a great yield, if you own it hold onto it. This stock is dependent on the weather and gas prices.

DON'T BUY

With natural gas dropping, drilling will have to pull back. Shorter term, this is not good for this company. Great company, great long-term fundamentals.

TOP PICK

The “oil service companies” is one of his favourite sectors. Likes the 9% yield. Can see 3 more years of upside. Payout ratio is relatively low and their earnings have been fantastic. Expecting another increase in distributions.

HOLD

Reasonably high payout ratio of 80% versus its peers of 70%. Had great numbers this quarter but think it's fairly valued. Great yield, but can't see much capital gains. Would prefer Trican Well Service (TCW-T) or Ensign Resources (ESI-T).

DON'T BUY

Would prefer to look at some of the actual companies rather than at trusts in this sector.

BUY

Great earnings growth. The street is anticipating a commodity sell off so is not willing to pay for these stocks. Looking at several years, they are probably going to give you sustained out performance.
