Coswf (Canadian Oil Sands) - dug around a bit and i think the reason for the weak shareprice is that they lowered the dividend from 0.5$ quarterly to 0.3$. They did this despite higher earnings compared to last year, which are due to higher realized product prices.

I believe the reason for the lower dividend are the changes in tax law (trust structure); as a consequence of these changes (originating from the infamous thanksgiving massaker) , COSWF is now a C-tax cooperation which pays income taxes.

What I like about them is that they have long life operations and a path to expand production, existing infrastructure build at costs that are far below current costs, virtually no debt and run by very skilled operators (Imperial Oil / Exxxon, SU etc.) and pay a nice dividend to boot.
