| PAST TOP PICK | 42.110 | John Stephenson | (A Top Pick Feb 21/07. Up 2% including dividends.)Thought there would be more of a catalyst by selling their oil/gas properties, which they did, but management paid themselves $16 million in bonuses. Now might be an interesting time to look at this. | 2008-02-08 | |
| TOP PICK | 85.390 | John Stephenson | A US utility which also has E & P properties that they are looking to sell and expecting $16 billion for it. Intend to buy back stock and pay down debt.

| BUY | 61.740 | John Stephenson | Q:"What companies could profit from liquid natural gas?" A:"You want to focus on some of the utility names. It's only 3% of the market and there are large groups opposing shipments." | 2004-06-10 | |
| TOP PICK | 62.500 | Christopher Williams | Some of the diversified utilities are well-positioned. Their rate structure is based on a cost plus so oil prices do not affect them. As the economy grows, more power will be required. | 2004-03-26 | |
