| PAST TOP PICK | 14.630 | Bruce Campbell | (A Past Top Pick Nov 25/07 up 106%) Have done a great job. Have years of possible holes to drill. Crescent Point could buy Tri star, giving a little bonus. | 2008-09-29 | |
| Comment | 17.430 | Joanne A. Hruska, CFA | Saskatchewan light oil Bakken play. She is waiting for valuations to come down relative to its peer group. Good company and good management. | 2008-09-12 | |
| TOP PICK | 18.350 | Jennifer Stevenson | Very low risk in production as they have over 500 Bakken locations. Huge upside and huge inventory. Low risk and reasonable valuation. | 2008-09-05 | |
| HOLD | 21.070 | Peter Hodson | (Market Call Minute.) A $2 billion company that is starting to get into the next level. | 2008-08-27 | |
| BUY | 18.020 | Bruce Campbell | (Market Call Minute.) Likes this one very much. Bakken play. Pulled back with oil. | 2008-08-18 | |
| BUY | 18.200 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | (Market Call Minute.) Likes this one a lot. About 21,000 barrels a day of production. Good management team. Grown by acquisitions. | 2008-07-18 | |
| TOP PICK | 18.680 | John Stephenson | Good fundamentals. Not that expensive relative to others. In the Bakken oil region of Saskatchewan. Could be a candidate for a takeover. Have a good record of exploring. | 2008-07-16 | |
| TOP PICK | 20.990 | John Stephenson | 90% oil. Trades at a discount as opposed to its peers. A Bakken play. Possible acquisition. | 2008-06-16 | |
| BUY | 20.170 | Don Lato | About 75% oil but most of their new explorations are in natural gas. Has been a great performer since its merger last year. Involved in a number of plays, primarily in Canada including the Bakken and Montney areas. Still cheap at about 4.5X next year's cash flow. | 2008-06-11 | |
| HOLD | 20.160 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | Great performer and a great consolidator of oil companies. Will continue to grow. | 2008-06-09 | |
| BUY | 17.550 | Andrew Cook | They are in the Bakken play in Manitoba, the new hot spot. Thinks the stock will go a lot higher. | 2008-05-29 | |
| BUY | 18.290 | Peter Hodson | Likes the people running the company. Believes gas is breaking out. Any gas stock is quite buyable. | 2008-05-26 | |
| BUY | 15.740 | Joanne A. Hruska, CFA | In the Bakken area in southeast Saskatchewan. Had acquired tons of land so they have multi, multi, multi-years inventory of drilling. With oil prices where they are at, she thinks the stock should continue to go higher. If you are a trader wait for a pullback to the $14/$15 area on an up trend line. Not grossly overvalued. | 2008-04-14 | |
| TOP PICK | 14.490 | Robert McWhirter | Continues to grow through acquisition and at the drill bit. Production of about 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Light oil play in Bakken Saskatchewan. Have a large land inventory that has been paid for, which will keep them going for the next 3 plus years. | 2008-04-08 | |
| HOLD | 14.750 | Joseph Schachter | Has done fabulously well since its acquisition of Real Resources. They are in Saskatchewan, which tax regime-wise, is a lot more attractive than Alberta. The further acquisitions they have made on the oil side have been very attractive. Thinks it has some further ground on the upside but has had a massive run so wouldn't chase it. | 2008-03-07 | |
| HOLD | 12.660 | Joseph Schachter | Has done well since the merger with Real Resources. Operationally, management is very confident. Have assets in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Has a mix of oil and gas. Good balance sheet. | 2008-01-24 | |
| Comment | 12.980 | Joseph Schachter | Continue to build up their portfolio of the Bakken trend in Saskatchewan. The stock has moved up quite a bit after their merger with Real Resources and thinks there is 30% to 40% upside. | 2008-01-02 | |
| BUY | 12.380 | Joseph Schachter | (Market Call Minute.) Have some great assets in Saskatchewan. Good story. | 2007-12-19 | |
| BUY | 8.320 | John Stephenson | An oily weighted name that is tarred with the same brush as a gas weighted name and sold off with them. A buying opportunity. | 2007-09-26 | |
| | | | |
|
| TOP PICK | 8.090 | Bruce Campbell | Acquired Real Resources in the last couple of months for stock and should be worth $11. Will only be marginally affected by the Alberta political situation. | 2007-09-25 | |
| HOLD | 8.020 | Joseph Schachter | Gas weighted. He is not covering it as it has an enormous amount of investor coverage already. Well managed. | 2007-09-11 | |
| BUY | 4.740 | Joseph Schachter | Has been hit by the natural gas prices. Will be merging with Real Resources (RER-T) in the next few weeks. This will make it a lot larger entity. Good management. | 2007-07-20 | |
| HOLD | 5.040 | Joseph Schachter | Management is very well respected, and have done a very good job.
Stay with it. | 2007-06-04 | |
| BUY | 5.390 | Jennifer Stevenson | 75% oil. Core area is in southern Saskatchewan. Grade A management. Inexpensive at 4-4.5 X cash flow. | 2007-05-15 | |
| HOLD | 5.020 | John Stephenson | Had a rocky ride. Good management team with an under promise/over delivery strategy. Would worry about the exit strategy, which in the past, would have been as an income trust. | 2007-02-21 | |
| TOP PICK | 5.300 | Robert Toole | About 75% oil and would normally not be one he would be truly interested in. He is looking past the commodity price to their ability to grow their underlying production, reserves and cash flow. Very strong management team. Very strong balance sheet. | 2007-01-18 | |
| BUY | 6.400 | Bill Harris, CFA | First-rate team. During this commodity depression in western Canada, they are able to build assets and once the commodity turns around they’re going to come firing out. | 2006-09-18 | |
| WAIT | 7.000 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | Well managed. His company is watching it. | 2006-02-22 | |
| BUY | 8.490 | Michael Smedley | A spin off during a conversion to an income trust. These people are particularly hot. An excellent junior with star players. | 2006-01-19 | |
