Hi Brian -

SU Suncor Energy is another good one. This was discussed up thread around 12/2011 and was my first Buy into the Canadian Oil Sands. Paul Senior posted this article ( Message 27799398 ) where Charlie Maxwell a well known value investor talks about the Canadian Oil Sand properties.

You can follow the discussion of the thread at that time between SU and COSWF.pk. At the time I believe SU was just below $30.00/share. I started to accumulate my position in SU at that price and COSWF.pk was selling at $20.00/share.

Bottom line, COSWF.pk has not moved as much as SU. I like SU better especially around $30.00/share because it seems to have more transparency & liquidity selling on the NYSE. COSWF.pk is a good one to hold in the IRA as their dividends are exempt from the foreign tax 15% withholding.

I pretty much gave up on my PBR shares and cashed those in to buy positions in SU and COSWF.pk. So far it has turned out to be a good move. I will continue to add to my SU position at prices $30.00/share or lower.

Also, once they get the Keystone pipeline built, much of the light, sweet synthetic crude oil can be transported into the U.S. for refining and distribution/export. This should be a long term positive for COSWF.pk as pointed out in the SeekingAlpha article I posted.

Both Paul and Clownbuck provided some compelling arguments to own SU and/or COSWF.pk. I ended up buying both.

EKS

I agree. The company has been doing well, Canadian oil sands seems like a great play on higher oil sands and even if oil prices are not to rise, Suncor provides a decent margin of safety.
