| BUY | 15.200 | Bill Harris, CFA | Merging with Savanna Energy (SVY-T). 2 very unique companies with unique strategies which makes them fit together nicely. Natural gas will go up when companies stop drilling for it and that will happen which will not be good to this company short-term. | 2006-08-01 | |

| BUY | 17.850 | David Cockfield | Drillers have increased their charges by about 10%. A lot of the rigs are “take or pay” so it doesn't matter if they are operating or not. The bigger problem is more related to getting crews. They have better luck as they are using the pools from aboriginals. They have done extremely well and should continue to do well. | 2006-01-23 | |

The service companies are now having the momentum. | 2005-11-24 | |
| BUY | 12.500 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Came back with the other energy related stocks. Expect them to make $1 in 2006. If they can't convert to a trust, he sees it at $15/17 a year from now. If there's more pull back to $10/11, he would be a buyer. | 2005-10-26 | |
