PAST TOP PICK
Recommended on May 28,2010 at $30.67, now at $37.85, total return 30.33% increase. Has done a great job of cost cutting,they have grown their internals,stable, 2 billion in cash flow, dividends have increased 3 or 4 times over the last few years, more room to grow and able to bundle their products which should play out well for them.
TOP PICK
This was a past top pick(May 28 2010) and a top pick today. They have been cost cutting and this has been dripping into the dividends. Opportunity to go up further.
COMMENT
Did a good job of moving into television area. Had a great run. Could go either way on this one. Doesn’t see huge downside risks but at around $40, it’s a little thin for moving higher. Yield is perfectly safe. When the market recovers, as he expects, there may be some rotation out of this type of stock and into things with more upside.
TOP PICK
Reported great earnings relative to expectations. CTV acquisition should turn out to be very good. Increased the dividend 5%. (6th one since the 4th quarter of 2008.) 5.5% dividend yield. Good growth.
COMMENT
Just reported earnings above estimates and raised their dividends. Trading at about 12X earnings. Solid grower but not a tremendously fast grower. Fits in a portfolio where you want some decent income and require income in a portfolio.
COMMENT
Whole Telecom space looks decent but not a ton of upside. Has had a big pop in the last month or so. With their dividends, it makes a great defensive stock. Good hold for the longer term.
COMMENT
5%+ dividend is safe and has no doubt they will continue to increase it. Have gone through an upgrade of their network, so that’s behind them. Feels the capital upside on a lot of the telecom names in then near term is limited given the new entrants coming in.
BUY
Largest telecommunication business in Canada. He bought for income. Increased their dividend and thinks they will do so again. Good management.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 15/11. No change.) 5.5% dividend yield and he expects another one soon. Management has done an outstanding job of executing on its plan. CTV acquisition is going to work out very well. They are the best positioned, in this space, to deal with all the changes that are unfolding.
BUY
A cash flow machine. Have done a fantastic job of cutting costs. They basically wiped out middle management. It keeps dropping to the bottom line, either through purchases of content, buy back of shares or increase of dividend. Telco space is either reasonably priced or reasonably cheap.
WEAK BUY
You get higher growth than BA but a little less yield, so they are about the same. He prefers this to BA
DON'T BUY
A very low growth situation. They have done a great job managing costs. Dividend is safe, but there won’t be any growth.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jan 18/10, Up 35.42%) Still likes it. Are doing a lot of the right things. A great stock to be buying at these levels. Lots of free cash flow, reasonable debt levels.
BUY
He likes all of the telecoms. BCE did a great job of upgrading their whole wireless system. The whole market is expanding. Well-managed company. Will continue to trim out fat management. Increased dividend twice last year and once this year, but he expects increases to be more moderate this year.
BUY
In the process of buying CTV. He has been buying this recently. Dividend is strong and stock has been going up since the bottom in 2009. The services they provide are growing more than people would imagine.
