S&P, ATPG isn't going anywhere for awhile and that presents a nice short strangle opportunity. I figure a tight range between $14 - $17 for a few months. Don't think it has much downside from here but it could go up a lot higher if GOM permitting picks up. The gov doesn't act like they are going to speed up the process anytime soon. Sell the Jan $14 puts and Jan $17 calls. Been profitable except for one day when the market took me out of the positions. Surprised volatility has held up but I'll take it. Michael

Parkinson from The Globe concurs on a couple of your picks .....The screen – updated by Mr. Bellefleur for this column – produced eight stocks from four countries, including three Canadian names (Encana Corp., Nexen Inc. and Talisman Energy Inc.). Interestingly, Nexen and Encana not only have the two worst year-to-date total returns, but they also rank in the bottom half of the list in trailing price-to-earnings ratio. The underperformance, low valuation multiple and relatively low-risk profile for both stocks suggest they could do very well in an energy-sector rally. ... theglobeandmail.com
