BUY ON WEAKNESS
Sep 22, 2021
Stock's been very cheap for a long time. Underowned. Climbing the wall of worry. Don't buy now, as it's whippy. Dividend is safe. Good place to be if you like asset management. Valuations are really good, with probably more to go.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This Canadian based financial service provider, with $43 billion under management, is reiterated as a TOP PICK. It has diversified out to include alternative investment products -- bespoke investment beyond traditional stocks and bonds. It trades at only 4x earnings compared to peers at 9x, is trading below book value, and has no long term debt. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 55% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop to $6.50, looking to achieve $9.75 -- over 16% upside. Yield 4.45%

DON'T BUY
AGF.B vs. GWO
His preference is for quality. He likes POW, which owns GWO, for dividend growth and share buybacks. AGF.B might have higher return potential because it's smaller with more volatility, but POW will give him a higher Sharpe ratio over the long term because it's not as volatile.
