CAPS Rating:
****

An energy investment trust, the primary focus of which is to maintain and enhance cash distributions to its unitholders through the development of its operating subsidiaries' existing in crude oil and natural gas properties

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

ERF is a great play if you are looking to get exposure to oil without too much risk. They also have a very rewarding dividend. Of all the CONROYs, ERF and BTE are perhaps the two most well managed companies. A revision is needed in a couple years to see how the Canadian tax will affect the CONROYs.

The energy / commodity trade is currently unwinding and the "big players" are transitioning to the oversold financials in the short term. Additionally, the US dollar is strengthening against the Canadian dollar and other currencies.

ERF's 12% yield will get juicier as the stock declines, and provide some downside support for the equity, but ERF will probably sink 15%-20% lower than the current $39/share price before rebounding.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
