PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 29/09. Up 22%.) Great infrastructure story that is going to continue to grow. Generated 114% ROE last year. Incredibly cheap. Great management. 6% yield. When they convert they will continue as a dividend paying Corp. with effectively the same yield.

BUY

Very conservative balance sheet and they like to have a lot of cash. Well positioned for the eventual impact of the Canadian stimulus. Solid company.

TOP PICK

Diversification across Canada. Great operational performance and good profitability metric over time. 7.5% yield is expected to be maintained through conversion in 2011. Payout ratio is around 35%. Phenomenal balance sheet.

BUY

Has been really beaten up. Have about $14.70 in cash. Payout ratio of about 36% in 08 and 09 will be more difficult. Very cheap.

TOP PICK

Infrastructure Play. Conservatively managed, low payout ratio. Only risk is if the backlog falters or they don’t do well competitively.

(Market Call Minute.) Sees construction activity slowing quite dramatically in western Canada.

BUY

Over $1 billion backlog. Best of the infrastructure companies. Still making good money.
