TOP PICK

Yield is over 9%. The largest driller in Canada. Great margins.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

If gas prices continue to be weak through the summer, it will have a negative effect on the price. You have all summer to pick away at it. Try to pick up in the $36/38 area.

BUY

Payout ratio is creeping up a little bit to about 80%. They should do well.

BUY

A well-managed operation. Drilling for natural gas in western Canada will continue to be strong. 10% yield.

WEAK BUY

Although the drillers don't have the price exposure to oil, they declined the same as the oil companies. Not a bad entry point. Not many acquisitions it can make so won't have much growth.

BUY

Very conservative payout ratio. This is the Cadillac of drillers in the western sedimentary basin. Business should be very solid.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

One of the largest drilling companies in Canada. Just had a great quarter. Expanding into the US. There is a potential for a soft summer in drilling as gas has dropped. Buy on weak days.

TOP PICK

Really likes the oil/gas servicing side. This is a huge trust. They've been able to raise their rates. Have raised their payout. Yield is over 8%. If it dropped in price, he would add more to his portfolios.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 17/06. Up 12%.) Tremendous fundamentals. The largest oil services in Canada.

TOP PICK

Has a yield of 8%. Has growth. Have increased their payout. Have just contracted to build more rigs and move them to the US.

BUY

Just reported very solid results. Announced a 15% increase in distributions. Planning on expanding into the US. Has some good upside but would start being cautious and not putting too much money into it.

BUY

The largest drilling company in Canada. They will benefit from the record drilling in Canada. Despite the weakness in gas prices there is still lots of drilling going on. Their payout ratio is a little bit high for a driller at about 71/72%, but their debt levels are acceptable.

BUY

Precision Drilling has continued to do well. It has been quite volatile over the last few days. It is well levered to oil. It is a large provider of drilling equipment in Western Canada. Expecting a good quarter. Payout ratio is at the 80% range. But this is off sided by the fact that they have very little debt.

WEAK BUY

Precision Drilling is a trust. They do appear to be busy. No pull back in the number of wells drilled. Companies in their drilling plans don't look at one week's gas price and pull back the reins. But the market has a short term view, so since the gas prices are weak the trust has not been doing much. He doesn't own anymore. "It is a long term place that you might want to be considering service stocks right now".

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It is large and liquid. They like it because of the Alberta economy which is strong. Yield pay out is 8%. Pay out ratio is around 75-80 %. It is worth $38.00 to 40.00. Buy below $35.00.
