TOP PICK

Non-Bank Financial. Nice bottoming formation from where it has been. There is some buying going on. Buy between $6 and $6.20

DON'T BUY

One of the premier, smaller non-bank dealers. They make money by financing typically mining and energy companies. Neither sector is very healthy right now so he doesn’t expect their earnings will be climbing much.

DON'T BUY

Cutting back a little and being prudent looking at their operations and where they are getting return on capital. A tough business, both on the wealth management side and a lot of their core franchise, in terms of capital markets. No near-term catalyst to buy this.

COMMENT

Preferred A. This is a rate reset. Very high current yield and high yield to reset. This company is not a very frequent issuer of these and have a very low credit rating. Not very liquid.

COMMENT

If the market gets better later, this stock will be a huge beneficiary. Currently volumes are down and deal closes are very light and it’s hard for them to make money in this environment. 7.66% dividend.

DON'T BUY

One of the biggest, independent brokerage firms in Canada and they have a strong expertise in the mining business. In good times, they benefit hugely from that. Feels there is some pressure on their base business. Heavily dependent on capital market cycles. Not the right environment to own at this time.

DON'T BUY

Brokerage business is very cyclical. Believes their dividend is safe but if the market goes up they go up but if the market goes down, they go down. Not a place he would put his money.

DON'T BUY

He has a short on this company. Broker/dealers are great to short when you think markets are going to be weak. This is not the right time in the cycle to Buy. You buy it after the market has been really crushed.

BUY

Likes the business. Has a great franchise in Canada. Good growth opportunities. Great reputation in the small/mid-cap space, especially in the resource sector. Now hands growth opportunities through the acquisition of the Collins Stewart business in the UK. If you want exposure to a rebounding capital market, this is a great way to go. 5.2% yield and as capital markets improve, there should be a lot of torque to the upside.

COMMENT

Offering to acquire Collins Stewart Hawkpoint, which he thinks is a good deal. They're trying to get more into the investment management side, which has been the opportunity in the financial services business.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Mar 9/11, Up 36.43%) Likes it and where it is positioned right now. Access to low cost natural gas. Generating a tremendous amount of cash flow. Trimming his position but you can always get back in during a pullback.

COMMENT

Unusual because it is the large independent brokerage set up with strong mining and oil branch in London. Acquired a deal in Australia. It shows the expansionary trend.

HOLD

Trading revenue, M&A and capital markets businesses have not been as strong as in the past. This one is a great competitor in the Canadian marketplace. To get it going, the whole sector has to move. He got stopped out but would like to eventually get back in.

BUY

Investment dealer with operations in Canada, US and UK. These companies tend to go weak this time of year. The kind of stock where he would be a buyer in June, July, August period and then sell just after RRSP season in February. $14-$15 shortly after Christmas.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Mar 18/10,Up 39.85%) He thinks it will go up further.
