Diana / Imperial Oil

Just came across a contrary opinion -- it was reproduced in Investor's Digest,
attributed to "Positive Patterns", a newsletter out of Springfield Missouri, of
all places:

"The latest edition of this newsletter features a detailed buy recommendation
on Imperial Oil, 66% owned by Exxon. IMO has U.S. $8-$9 a share in cash against
a total debt of abour U.S. $4 a share. It trades at about seven times estimated
1997 cash flow per share of U.S. $7. 'That is dirt cheap, no matter where the Dow
is. We also note that IMO has been a steady buyer of their shares, and one could
fully expect that to continue for the foreseeable future. We are looking for major
gains for IMO over the next three to five year period ..... The balance sheet
sparkles with muscle ... and who could ask for a better parent?'"

I'm afraid you're likely correct about a choppy year ahead. As far as clipped
wings, I'd love to learn from your experience if you care to share any tales
of woe.
