FYI
I have taken profits.
I believe the last month of volatility is a sign of a near term peak, and the risk profile is now different than it was last year. Also, the weather is much... login to read the rest
Unless there's something special about Canadian Trust dividends, my understanding is that as a US individual taxpayer you can take the Canadian withholding as a credit on your return (Foreign Tax Credit). If held in... login to read the rest
The withholding is money lost unless you have an IRA and you can ask for it back. Don't know how to do that. You have to check yourself.

issambres, I am aware of the fundamentals, as nicely presented by you, and subsequent duscussion and monitoring. I was just asking a market judgment question since you are surely much more familiar with the dynamics... login to read the rest
At $35 oil, this investment is a homerun. I believe that oil will stay above $35 oil and that over the next 18 months, investors will be revaluing COS as we approach mid 2006 when... login to read the rest
IF oil prices are on the defensive for a while, and perhaps might break $40 over the winter, do you have an opinion on how far COS might pull back?
furthermore, oil is an economically sensitive... login to read the rest
a couple of points from COS' latest earnings:
1)Expansion is actually slightly ahead of schedule
2)The company has no hedges after the end of this year.
3)Only 40% of the trust is owned by investors outside Canada. This... login to read the rest
If oil prices stay over $50, I believe all stocks related to the oil sands (SU, CNQ, COS) will all continue to surge.
And COS could easily hit C$100 if the price of oil keeps rising.

Alberta is doing very well financially, and with all the new investment coming into the oil sands area, what is the probability that Alberta actually reduces the royalties on oil sands revenues? This is a... login to read the rest
Wow, great link. I've got to think if there was an announcement of an agreement with PetroChina that COS would soar.
Also, any investment by China in the oil sands would only further cause a revaluation... login to read the rest
Gas supply: Short-term there's plenty of gas in Canada. You can see the supply reflected in the lower price for Canadian gas at AECO compared to US gas at Henry Hub. Long-term supply... login to read the rest
Do I have to mention now that oil is over $50 that COS is not hedged after the end of this year?
I continue to shake my head at the upside to this stock at anywhere
I think it is an issue longer term. However, I think as long as the price of oil stays high it won't be too much of an issue.
Its funny that you mention this, because right... login to read the rest
Issambres: It is unfortunate that you now have a unpaid part time job writing about COS for VIC, but I for one really appreciate your efforts. (Hmmmm....maybe you are lucky--almost no one cares enough about... login to read the rest
Bode,
I thought I was the only one who didn't comprehend Dada's questions/comments/reasoning. It seemed pretty clear to me that the vast majority of any increase in the price of crude will improve COS'... login to read the rest

Natural gas is used to process oil, it is not oil being used to produce oil. And the amount of natural gas used to produce the oil out of the sands is only about 7-10%... login to read the rest
There are a couple of things to consider. The reserves don't really go away, it is the life of the syncrude plant. With enhancements and future capex improvements, there is nothing to think that the... login to read the rest
If I understand the idea correctly, this will be an asset you pay $53 for, which will give you a varying payout for the next 35-50 years (the life of the reserves). In other words,... login to read the rest

Speculative mania?
