| HOLD | 49.720 | Charles Lannon | Has really suffered as the crisis of confidence has gone on in Europe. Very well run and has decent production prospects. Its performance in the near-term will be driven by the price of oil. (See Top Picks.) | 2011-11-17 | |
| BUY | 43.670 | John Stephenson | Good name to consider but he prefers Royal Dutch Shell. But Total is a fine place to park a bit of money. | 2011-09-28 | |
| BUY | 43.090 | Mark Grammer | Not a huge fan of the big integrateds. Hard to find very good long-term growth. At this price, it is probably pretty reasonable value. Tarred with the European brush. Have extensive opportunities in Europe right now. | 2011-09-26 | |
| BUY | 41.270 | Charles Lannon | Hurt but the fact that it is one of the largest stocks on the French index so is subject to shorting. Dividend is very secure. Prefers Royal Dutch Shell. Ease into it. | 2011-09-22 | |
| HOLD | 55.140 | John Stephenson | Hold for the yield but not for any capital gain, which wont happen until 2015. | 2011-06-06 | |
| WEAK BUY | 57.110 | John Stephenson | Large cap integrated oil company. All have a similar problem, a shortage of reserves and they are loathe to cut production forecasts from quarter to quarter because of fear of share prices being punished. They really need to shrink to grow. | 2011-01-17 | |
| BUY | 54.160 | Charles Lannon | Strong balance sheet, low debt. This is a fair choice. Prefers Royal Dutch. | 2011-01-06 | |
| Comment | 56.130 | Mark Grammer | Not a big integrated oil guy. Prefers companies that are a little more targeted. They have upstream all the way to downstream, refining, gas stations, etc. 5.7% dividend is great for dividend player. | 2010-11-03 | |
| WEAK BUY | 46.640 | Paul Harris, CFA | There is an issue that the world is slowing down, going to be a double dip and oil has not done anything so this is the opportunity for oil stocks. Oil will eventually be higher than it is today. Because of what happened with BP in the gulf, there will be more restrictions, which cuts off the supply. He would prefer a Canadian company because of currency risks. | 2010-08-26 | |
| BUY | 48.718 | Karl Berger | Very good operators. Asset life is generally good. | 2010-05-06 | |
| DON'T BUY | 50.840 | Norman Levine | He would prefer British Petroleum (BP-N) because he can pinpoint where the stock has gotten hit. He can't do that with this one. Part of it could be currency. | 2010-05-05 | |
| Comment | 62.600 | Paul Harris, CFA | Large energy company. Likes oil for the long-term. If you are going to buy oil stocks, Canada has some exceptionally great oil/gas companies so why take on currency risks. This is not the best company internationally but it is good with great cash flow generation. | 2009-12-10 | |
| BUY | 57.080 | John Stephenson | An integrated oil company not based in North America. This one looks interesting and seems to have reasonable growth. | 2009-08-21 | |
| BUY | 129.090 | Don Reed | A good integrated French oil company but prefers others. | 2005-12-06 | |
| WEAK BUY | 132.000 | Bill Harris, CFA | Had a good run. Have a feeling that these junior super majors in Europe are discounting much lower oil price. This is not the most exciting one in the group. Relatively expensive. Will go up over time. Prefers Repsol (REP-N) or ENI SPA (E-N). | 2005-09-13 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 99.140 | Norman Levine | (Past top pick May 14/04. Up 4.3%) Working out of 3rd world areas so the risk is higher, but the rewards are higher also. Still likes. | 2004-06-18 | |
| TOP PICK | 93.600 | Norman Levine | Sells at a discount to other major stocks. The majors have lagged the exploration companies bought sees that changing. We'll be buying up to 15/20% of their shares. | 2004-05-17 |
