| TOP PICK | 7.780 | Joseph Schachter | Natural gas. Have done very well in their horizontal play of Rock Creek in Western Canada. Have beaten their numbers regularly. | 2008-09-25 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 7.460 | Joanne A. Hruska, CFA | (A Top Pick Aug 24/07. Up 34%.) Still likes, but have traded in and out. Looking to get back in again. Trading at much less than the peer group multiples on a cash flow basis and net asset value. Good growth still to come. Buy. | 2008-09-12 | |
| BUY | 9.790 | Allan Jacobs | A steady grower through the drill bit. Has done extremely well during high and low gas prices. | 2008-08-27 | |
| BUY | 9.630 | Joseph Schachter | (Market Call Minute.) Loves the story. 2nd quarter numbers are out. | 2008-08-26 | |
| BUY | 9.520 | John Stephenson | Very low finding/development costs. Great production. Good solid management team. Expects considerable upside. One issue is that a lot of current production is from just a few wells. | 2008-08-22 | |
| TOP PICK | 9.480 | Robert Floyd | In the 4th quarter of 2005 production was under 1000 BOE's a day. Now over 6000. Have tremendous drilling success. Very low cost operator, so strong net backs. Last quarter they had 100% drilling success. | 2008-08-21 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 9.250 | Robert Floyd | (A Top Pick May 30/07. Up 15%.) Great drilling success, continue to like it. Add on weakness. | 2008-05-30 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 9.380 | Jennifer Stevenson | (A Top Pick Aug 1/07. Up 58%.) Production has gone up, costs are down and the upside she sees from their horizontal drilling in Edson is spectacular. Still a Buy. | 2008-05-13 | |
| HOLD | 8.940 | Dennis Dasilva | Has done very well. Has been one of the under promised over delivered stocks. 80% natural gas. He is underweight as he is waiting to see some of the declines in some of their big wells. | 2008-05-01 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 8.620 | Robert Floyd | (A Top Pick May 30/07. Up 27%.) Gas exposure. They continue to show that they're right at the drill bit. Average production is looking like 6700 BOE's. Made a tuck in acquisition. Still a Buy. | 2008-04-29 | |

| PAST TOP PICK | 7.730 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | (A Top Pick Apr 4/07. Up 25%.) Thinks it will continue to do very well. Has had significant production increases. | 2008-03-07 | |
| TOP PICK | 7.000 | Robert Floyd | Looking at a substantial increase in BOE's for 2008. Had 100% drilling success in the 4th quarter and beat their guidance. Looking to drill 10 wells in the 1st quarter this year. Cash flows look strong. | 2008-01-15 | |
| BUY | 5.900 | Joseph Schachter | Natural gas. Company continues to excel at drilling the Rock Creek formation and have had a tremendous success rate. Hurt by the new tax regime in Alberta, but because it is such a low-cost operator and they get big production increases, they should do okay. | 2008-01-02 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 5.750 | Joanne A. Hruska, CFA | (A Past Top Pick Aug 24/07. Up .05%.) Gas weighted. Could have been a Top Pick. Had some excellent drilling success. Management team consistently under promises and over delivers. Trades at less than 3X cash flow. Very cheap, relative to its peers. Strong Buy. | 2007-12-05 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 5.680 | Robert Floyd | (A Top Pick Nov 13/06. Up 1.7%.) Has had a very rocky ride lately. Think it was impacted somewhat with the Alberta plays and has a fair amount of gas exposure. Production rates are going up quite nicely. Looking for them to exit the year at 5400-5600 BOE’s a day. Still a Buy. | 2007-11-14 | |
| SPECULATIVE BUY | 5.750 | Joseph Schachter | They have been fans of Vero Energy and started covering it in 06. Could see it grow 20% over the next 18 months if commodity prices increase. Likes the management team. | 2007-10-22 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 5.760 | Robert Floyd | (A Past Top Pick Nov 13/06. Up 1%.) An interesting Buy point. Cash flows are looking stronger. Production metrics are moving up and are looking for 5400 to 5600 BOE's a day by year-end. | 2007-10-12 | |

| HOLD | 5.600 | Joseph Schachter | Very good management team. Have done very well on the exploration side. Good success with the Rock Creek play. About 85% natural gas. Has grown through the drill bit. | 2007-08-17 | |
| WEAK BUY | 6.000 | John Stephenson | Very small in terms of production. Has shown some success in terms of its drilling. A buy, but don't put too much money into this area, when gas is so depressed. | 2007-08-08 | |
| TOP PICK | 5.950 | Jennifer Stevenson | A little controversial, because it is a small cap gas company, a sector that is really out of favour. Well managed. Low operating costs. Healthy balance sheet. Nice inventory of drilling projects. Reporting on the 8th and this quarter has not been kind to them. Wait until you see the results. | 2007-08-01 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 7.850 | Robert Floyd | (A Top Pick Nov 13/06. Up 34.5%.) Feels it can go a long higher. Have been doing a nice job of expanding their production. | 2007-05-30 | |

| TOP PICK | 6.250 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | Produces about 44,000 barrels a day, which is expected to end the year at 48,000. Very good performance over the relatively short period it's been operating. | 2007-04-04 | |
| BUY | 6.250 | Peter Brieger | 3 favourite gas stocks are CNQ (CNQ-T), Rider Resources (RRZ-T) and Vero (VRO-T). A junior with 2.8 X cash flow. Great management and great prospects. | 2007-04-04 | |

| DON'T BUY | 5.530 | Robert Toole | Not a bad little company. Natural gas focused. His concern would be over its relatively high debt levels. Would prefer companies with better balance sheets. | 2007-01-18 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 5.760 | Robert Floyd | (A Top Pick Nov 13/06. Up 4.4%.) Has a fairly interesting growth profile. Have about 71% gas exposure, but he is focusing on their low costs and their growing production. Good buy. | 2006-12-19 | |

| BUY | 6.000 | John Stephenson | This is coming from less than 1000 BOE’s a day and is ramping up very quickly. Very inexpensive on a cash flow multiple basis. Pulled back with the rest of the group. | 2006-05-19 | |
| BUY | 6.800 | Joseph Schachter | A spin off from True Energy. Gas focused. Doing about 2000 BOE’s a day and expecting about 2675 a day with an exit around 3500 giving $1.80 cash flow. | 2006-05-05 | |
| BUY | 6.860 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | Has done much better than expected. Made some good discoveries and increased their production. High risk/high reward. | 2006-04-13 | |

| WAIT | 5.870 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | In the wait and see category. | 2006-02-22 | |
| SELL | 6.860 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | Spin-off of a trust merger between True Energy and TKE. It was relatively untried and untested. A kind of a “Show Me” story. Has good management and reasonably good properties. If you own, it would be a good time to take some profits. | 2006-01-18 | |
