DON'T BUY
Just came out with blow-out earnings. Thinks it's becoming a large cap market. Not mis-priced. Too expensive to buy.
COMMENT
Had a great move because of strong earnings, with came out because of the Canadian companies Finning (FTT-T) and Torormont (TIH-T). It's clearly in upward trend and could go higher, but would prefer the Canadian companies, which haven’t moved as far.
HOLD
His FMV is $100, but not particularly cheap on a Price to Book historical basis.
COMMENT
Had good support around $60 and it then broke through an intermediate high of about $65. It could have resistance near $70, but he feels it has good upside potential.
DON'T BUY
This has always been overvalued to him. His model price is $54, which is a negative 16% differential.
DON'T BUY
High input costs because of steel, etc. Good company, but it has been struggling.
COMMENT
A large-cap value name. Use the dividend yield as the determination as to whether you want to buy it or not.
DON'T BUY
Has recently had some issues. Decline in share price is because of slower truck sales as well as rising commodity prices. With manufacturing costs rising, margins will get squeezed. He is generally underweight the whole industrial space in the US.
BUY
Very cheap at this price. A loot of its demand comes from outside North America. Concerns on US housing and economy has pushed it lower. Global demand will move it higher.
DON'T BUY
Had a great run and was going up with the resource boom. There has been slowdown in construction and weakness in the resource sector.
COMMENT
Lowered their guidance, so the stock dropped 15%. US housing is slowing which impacts them, but they have a lot of positive global projects. He prefers Canadian stocks in this sector because of the strong bullish aspects. They are also cheaper and growing faster.
BUY
There's an overreaction to the drop-off in the US housing industry. They are in a lot of different sectors and should do well by it.
DON'T BUY
This one has always been above his model price. His current model price is $62 which is a -23% differential.
TRADE
Depends on the drill results. Just finished a 3 hole drill test with good results. A 9 hole drill program is underway. If the results are still good, it has a long way to go, but if the results are not so good it could go the other way. A roll of the dice speculative, with the upside being very much ahead of where it is right now.
WAIT
Fell out of bed this week with much weaker than expected earnings. It wasn't really the sales side that was hurting, it was their cost side, materials, energy, etc. Would wait for signs that it is going to turn around.
