From the RBC report:

“In light of the broad resource equity weakness in the back half of 2014, we see opportunity in high quality energy and material companies,” RBC said, noting that its top picks look better positioned than their peers to withstand near-term commodity volatility.

I agree that there are plenty of excellent opportunities in the energy space now with the fall in stock prices. Investors with a 5-year outlook can definitely find bargains that are too good to pass up.
