A Fresh Look At Energy Royalty Trusts In The Bargain Bin [View article]
royalty trusts give the parent co money TODAY rather than over the life of the wells. the sneaky part (and almost criminal) is the parent co usually tags the trust with a loan also at formation; that boosts the dollars to the parent and reduces the distributions to the trust owners. the key is own trusts during the early yrs, maybe 3-5, then sell out and buy into diff trusts that come out at that time. and always expect higher tax return prep fees for them.

seems like HGT is mostly gas. dump it at the first price you're comfy with; i did, 3 yrs ago. got some shares in a dividend from the parent co. gas is going nowhere quick.
so true. "long term" is for age 20-something's....who sadly have little money to invest. for us over 50, "long term" is next week. but buy for the grandkids; they'll love you for it 20 yrs from now.
typically all wells drop off after 30 days. the good news is the higher starting point in production means the well should level out at a higher rate even after the 30-day drop. the ultimate recovery (eur) number is really important, yet nobody knows what that is since no well in Bakken has been producing for 19 yrs or so to find the final (economic) recovery total, somewhere around 500,000 bbls per well or will it be more. such is life in the oil business--make decisions today based on estimates for 20 yrs in the future, go conservative on the "worst case" scenario, then drill ....or not... and we invest or not.

seems like the industry has a "gentlemen's agreement" NOT to acquire cos. otherwise, exxon would own everything. my big merger co target is Northern Oil (nog); it literally is just a royalty co with < 15 employees and tons of oil reserves in Bakken. any small firm could swallow that co, merge in the employees, vacate the office space, and instantly double its own oil production. yet nobody does.

DNR is virtually 99% oil, so it can sell all prodctn at mrkt levels. it has no pizzazz with just slow, steady prodctn/reserve increases from co2 injection projects, but it has no "dry holes" either. if the future is oil, then DNR is the future.

definitely on long-term contract, not for purchase. besides, all avlbl rigs for both concepts have been taken; only standard, "rentable" day-rate services remain and are chased by ever increasing numbers of cos. buying a rig exposes the co to injury lawsuits; every rig has them, and they all start at $1 million. plus the insurnc on them is virtually the same $1 million. so cos just bide their time as needed, waiting on completions. it is what it is.

still confused by "1 yr EPS growth rate" and general "EPS growth rate"--over what time period; is it right after a bad, down yr which artificially magnifies "good" effect; prefer 5-yr EPS period. and "why" is all important--new products/mrkts, new oil fields, sale of losing subsidiaries, new mgmt, winning lawsuits, etc.

the reason i bought some 2 yrs back was to beat cd rates; same reason as buying stks. with a 16% distrbtn rate, even if some principal loss occurs to net 11% overall, the effort still trounces pitiful cd rates of .00x. i certainly understand it's like the game of "button, button: who's got the button." nobody wants to be the last owner of shares when it drops to 0. that's when Whiting steps in to take 100% ownrship again after milking and bilking the mrkt of too many hundred million$ over the life of the trust, as every co does. and big tax payers buy it to escape 39% tax rates....for a time. the argument over the finite life span then 0 value means nobody should ever buy into any trust logically...that's just not realistic. i'm out now since all this negative press will result in the very forecast it's predicting: 0 value.
