I like this company because of the following reasons:
1. It is trading below book value and has a great earnings record.
2. It has a great dividend history and yield.
3. It's a play on oil/natural gas.

ERF looks like a go to me. Regardless of what oil does in the future, natural gas is here to stay. Heavy

I read this article http://www.fool.com/investing/dividends-income/2009/11/11/dream-stocks-for-dividend-investors.aspx?source=idgsithla0000001 and then read a few of the comments from other CAPS members and decided it was good for a short term pick for me. I'll have to try to find out more about what happens in 2011. bullishbabo says he thinks it will pay out more in taxes and therefore less in dividends. If that is true, I'll have to see how much of a difference that will make to me. For now I'll take my 8.6% dividend and run with it.
