| BUY on WEAKNESS | 15.990 | Robert Lauzon | Midstream natural gas gathering & processing facility. Their product trades off the oil quote.

| TOP PICK | 17.210 | David Baskin | All 3 picks tonight are income trusts as the sector has been massively oversold.

Fell as much as 25%. Good price. | 2005-10-24 | |
