DON'T BUY
Has not been a fan of this company for a number of years. Not as proactive as it could be. Dividend growth has been virtually non-existent for 10 years. Earnings are flat. Top line is flat.
BUY
A good holding for those that don't like risks. Good dividend. Great brand name. Too neglected by the market.
DON'T BUY
Has been disappointed with management. They've sold assets too cheaply or hanging on to ones they should be selling. Their core business keeps getting eaten away by their competitors.
DON'T BUY
Doesn't see very much in growth terms for this stock. Has a nice dividend.
TOP PICK
Thinks there's a bit of a short term play here. They're probably going to look at doing something with Bell Globe Media. That could add a lot of money to their coffers. They are also talking about parts of their business being moved into a trust. With all this money, they would probably reduce their debt, increase the dividend. 4.5% dividend plus $2/3 as a conservative investment it could be alright.
TRADE
The only reason he can figure that telcos did well is that as bond yields come down, the dividends just look better and better.
HOLD
Good and steady in a $5 range is the best thing he can say. Not a great deal of harm to it. Pays a dividend. Would rather buy Manitoba Tel (MBT-T).
DON'T BUY
Doesn't like the overall telecommunications industry. Far too much competition. Move to Voice over IP put a lot more pressure on.
DON'T BUY
FDC just announced a 25% reduction in fees for high speed internet. A fight is brewing between the cables and telephone companies. It's going to be ugly. A pretty tricky area to be in right now.
DON'T BUY
Has not positive on the stock, but is starting to look at it. There is uncertainty about voice over internet. If it traded over $30 for awhile, he might get interested.
WEAK BUY
Raised their dividends. Their is competition coming in like voice over internet. 4.5% dividend. Difficult to see this stock doing much more than 5/10% a year.
DON'T BUY
Wire line numbers were better than expected for Telus (T-T) but even more so for BCE (BCE-T). Wireless on the other hand was better for Telus, but not so good for BCE. These large caps, grinding sideways, do not offer a lot of potential.
DON'T BUY
The wire line business is going through a decline. Expects it will ultimately cut its dividend.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top PIck Jan 26/05. No change.) Was concerned with the market, so played chicken.
WEAK BUY
Increased dividends for the 1st time in 10 years. Feels management was trying to say that they had stabilized their businesses. Dividend is safe. Have significantly turned the company around. Not a growth story. Running really hard and fast with Voice Over IP, although regulators have been slow to approve and cable has started using it. Whole issue is kind of muddy.
