BUY

It's made tremendous improvements, with problem investments behind them. They report Nov. 5 and people will closely watch this, hoping for a smoother report. But it could take a while to return to all-time highs. What is their outlook for capital deployment, which would lead to all-time highs? It's undervalued now and cheap under $20. The dividend is safe. In a few years, this could return to nearly $30.

BUY

Downtrend in 2017-18, hitting a low, and has since been trending higher. It's been building a series of highs, enjoying an "ascending triangle" during this breakout. He likes the chart a lot.

DON'T BUY

Similar to DIV-T. He looked at this long and hard and decided not to buy any trusts stocks; there are too many companies within them and hard to value. AD stumbled and got punished. Don't buy for the dividend or stock appreciation. Managers need to regain investors' trust.

BUY

He is a fan of this company. He continues to recommend it. It is coming into its stride now. Longer term this is a company that is uniquely positioned. Lately they have demonstrated that they can deploy capital efficiency. Dividends may begin to increase again over the next couple of years.

BUY

They had a few investments they made that went into bankrupsy. They are now getting more cash flow from investments and added some new ones. They have had a turnaround and the payout ratio has come down. There are a lot of things to like about this. It is important to understand, though, that the risks are higher and the dividend is not that safe. 8.4% yield.

TOP PICK

They will be reporting earnings today. Thinks they are on their way back after having some difficulty. They invest in a diversified range of private companies with a strategy to grow dividends. Could see dividends increase over the next 2 years. They have deployed capital into a new and existing business that should yield good cash flow in the next few years. Great yield 8.14% which he believes is really sustainable. (Analysts’ price target is $21.22)

BUY

AD just did some big equity investments and AD pays a big dividend. He used to own and recommend this. Smart and lean management. They suffered some problem investments. They've cleaned them up and he hopes they learned their lesson. You're in good hands. He doesn't know about their recent deployments.

DON'T BUY

It's like a holding company that makes investments in a number of companies. Over the year they have improved somewhat the disclosure on some of their holdings. 15 to 17 different investments in a wide range of companies. He does not know how it will do in the future. He is not keen on the name right now because he is not keen on conglomerates. (Analysts’ price target is $21.00)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 27/18, Up 16%) Good dividend. Moved his exit point up to $18. Still likes it. Yield is 8.8%.

COMMENT

They are investing in Alpine Credit, who are doing well and who they are getting involved in for their own succession planning purposes. He would not consider AD-T low risk or defensive. They are medium to higher risk. Their valuation is not very related to where interest rates go.

BUY

He would be a buyer at this time. They just recently shored up their capital. The dividend is safe for the time-being. They can make some significant investments over the next while. Under $20 it is a good buy.

SHORT

He has a small short position on this one. It is expensive and the management compensation plan is too generous. With such low interest rates, why would anyone need to borrow from them?

DON'T BUY

For RRSP? A few years ago, these royalty stream companies were popular, but haven't done much lately. They've fixed several fixes and are back to square one. He's never loved these kinds of companies. There are better income stocks out there.

BUY

He has been a fan for some time -- during ups and downs. It was recently penalized when an analyst spoke of some issues. He thought it was overdone and will be remedied soon. . They have over 15-20 investee companies, providing great diversification. The biggest problem is they are growing so large, it takes bigger projects to move the needle. It has a compelling value at this level.

DON'T BUY

Not the type of company he would own--the management fee straucture is aggressive and they have some Alberta exposure. He doesn't have much of an opinion on this. He has shorted this in the past. He'd stay away from it, but he'd need to do more research on their holdings. Providence Distribution has been giving them trouble, but accounts for only 5% of Alaris' overall revenues.
