Well Tau, there is too much crap going on in the world. Good companies being crushed along with the bad.

I think we bet on the same companies.

My favourites in the gold space are Kinross, Goldcorp and Eldorado. Hold 2 and wish I hadn't sold ELD 2 weeks ago.

Also a big fan of Agrium. Made money on it earlier this year. Will buy more in the new year.

I am also holding Enbridge, Encana and Great West Life. They are all down, but should recover. Plus, they pay some dividends while I wait.

One company that I am paying attention to is TriStar Oil & Gas. Made money on it earlier and just bought it again 2 weeks ago. If you are not familiar with them, they are TOG on the TSX. They are mainly an oil producer in the Bakken play in Saskatchewan. Also have some natural gas wells in Alberta. Their Q3 production was over 20 000 BOE per day, and increasing!

That being said, I used to be a huge fan of Bow Valley Energy. They were riding along at $6/share for quite a while. Now they are around 25 cents. They shifted from conventional oil in Alberta to the North Sea. They and Oilexco looked good 6 months ago. Now I am unsure if they will be around in 6 months.

As for the next big ride (UP), I will hold onto KXL.
