BUY

Although she doesn't own any at present, the oil services is a good sector. This one is up because of trust conversions, etc. A very well run company and will continue to benefit from higher oil prices.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 8/05. Up 10%.) Recommeneded this after they announced they were going to change into an income trust. Continues to like.

HOLD

All oil service companies such as Ensign (ESI-T), Precision (PD-T), Trinidad (TDG.UN-T) and Wellco (WLL.UN-T) are doing extremely well. Had a very wet spring which tied up some of the rigs and could affect the earnings. This one is a little trickier as they are talking about going into an income trust.

BUY

An extremely well managed company. As a trust vehicle, it could be very interesting. Drilling companies are a high beta play on oil stocks.

TRADE

Sold off their international interests in preparation of becoming a trust. The man behind the trust is contemplating retirement and the CFO has resigned which is a concern.

TOP PICK

Will be turning themselves into an income trust. Have sold their international drilling operation and their energy services. You are left with the domestic drilling business which is going great guns.

WEAK BUY

Sold its international assets to a US based company which took back some cash and some shares in exchange and will likely turn the rest of the company into an income trust. Sorry to see it change into an income trust because it has been a great growth story. Thinks it's worth $52/54 after conversion.

BUY

The energy services sector still has many years of opportunity ahead. Believes that a full valuation for the company, post all of its restructuring, is still 15% higher than current. Will require some patience.

BUY

A good way to play the oil sector. You can buy now rather than waiting for it to become an income trust. You could also look at Trinidad Energy Services (TDG.UN-T) which is a favourite of his.

SELL

Prior to announcing that it was going to become an income trust, it was a very interesting stock and had a lot of upside potential. The company is now selling of its interesting parts, the growth parts, which takes some of the interest and excitement out of the stock.

BUY

Sold off some European assets and there was speculation that it would become a trust. Price rose on the news and then fell off due to the assets going for less than the market expected. Once the assets are sold and the Canadian assets are trusted, you could be looking at the high $50's.

BUY

Chances are very good that it will convert into an income trust. Relative to other energy service trusts this will be one of the more stable, conservative trusts because it owns such a large part of the Canadian market.

TOP PICK

Selling their international drilling operations and non-trustable assets and looking to convert into an income trust.

TOP PICK

It seems almost a certainty that you can get $5/10 out of this. Fell today because US holders and mutual funds who just don't want to get mixed up with the income trust sector. Selling off their international operations.
