PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 26/08. Up 7.7%.) Was in conservative stocks at that time but has now sold all his holdings.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 25/08. Down 28.98%.)
BUY
There has been a real under evaluation of the telephone sector in Canada. From the start of the year, they have not done anything while the rest of the market has gone up 25%. Good, deep value Buy.
BUY
Reason he bought was first and foremost the dividend. Things are shaking up well.
TOP PICK
The long-term market low has carried it down to book value. Very defensive. 6.4% dividend.
DON'T BUY
Don’t see a lot of upside potential, but you do get a 6+% dividend. They think management will do a great job of taking some costs out of the equation. Would not hold in growth funds.
BUY
With 6.3% yield it’s hard not to want to continue holding it. Higher yield on common stock than on their bonds. Probably modest growth and maybe in a year of two a dividend increase.
DON'T BUY
There is some new competition coming in between now and 2011. With this threat, he could see the stock moving sideways or even down for the next little while.
COMMENT
This is on his watch list. Yield is attractive.
BUY
Have done a great job cutting costs and working on growing the business. Also doing well growing wireless assets. Nice stable 6% dividend yield. Trades at a low valuation. To hedge this, you could Short Manitoba Tel (MBT-T) or some of the US telcos.
COMMENT
Never liked because head winds were so strong over the last 3 years. Used as a proxy for the bonds he holds. Trading at around 10X forward earnings. Just announced they and Telus (T-T) will be starting a new 3G network and selling iPhones & Blackberries, which should be able to help gain market share. (See Top Picks.)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 17/08. Up 26%.) Bell Canada Bonds 4.64% maturing 2016.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 5/08. Down 22%.) Recommended it because he was betting that the takeover by the Teachers would go through. He is neutral on it now. 6.2% dividend is safe but you'll have to wait for capital gains.
COMMENT
Increased dividends by 5% twice since the Teachers deal fell through. Over the last 5 years the dividend is actually down about 8%. Thinks management is doing a good job. Cutting costs, reorganizing management and getting more aggressive on the wireless side. 6.5% yield. Could be 5%-10% capital appreciation also.
DON'T BUY
Finding some support on its 50 day moving average. Has been in a sideways trading range and has been trying to break out. 6.2% dividend is probably safe but stock has to break out of its containment and he doesn't see that happening.
