Hung onto my AVN. Bought more AE but had to pay 4.17.

Glad I sold my PWI.UN some time ago. Made a capital gain
on it. Monday could see a substantial drop in price. Goes
down low enough, it could be a buy. Something wrong with
the company, though. I sold because I just didn't like
the story that was coming out.

PrimeWest Energy profit nearly wiped out; falling gas prices, rising costs
10:47 PM EST Feb 21
CALGARY (CP) - PrimeWest Energy Trust saw its profits nearly evaporate in 2002 as lower natural gas prices squeezed revenues and rising costs hurt the bottom line.

The Calgary-based royalty trust reported Friday it earned just $620,000 or two cents a share for the year, down from profits of $79.5 million or $3.08 a share for 2001.

Yearly revenues fell 15 per cent to $320.5 million from $378.2 million.

The comany (TSX:PWI) attributd the profit decline to significantly lower natural gas prices, higher power prices, increased charges on its books and $16.7 million in costs associated with the trust's decision to restructure how its managed.
