PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 28/09. Up 42.3% excluding distributions.) There is great growth in the movie business. Recession proof. 6.5% yield.

TOP PICK
Likes the aspect of the 3-D movies, which gives better margins. Didn't have to pay for any of their new 3-D projectors. Payout ratio of about 57% so there should be no problem with them converting to a corporation. Yields about 6%.

TOP PICK
Recession resilient. Will stay as an income trust for the next 2-3 years because of their tax losses and distributions will be in place. 3-D is really adding to their margins and bottom line with ticket prices going up. Great management.

TOP PICK
DVDs bring a better experience for the customer, higher ticket prices and bigger promotional budgets. The studios are paying for the DVD installations. (Will have 1/4 of their screens in DVD format by the end of this year.)

TOP PICK
One of the more attractive income trusts. Doing a great job of growing the media side of their business. Doesn’t think it will have to cut its distribution when it converts. It has a low payout ratio.

HOLD
(Market Call Minute) 70% of theaters. Great market share. Doing well with Launch of 3D movies. Continues to hold.

TOP PICK
In the media space, the movie industry is doing particularly well. Cineplex are as good as they get in operating. They get about 80% of the revenue in Canada in the cinema business. Only paying out about 60% of what they get. They have tax pools that will protect the dividend when they convert. Not terribly economically sensitive. There is great growth in the business. 3D is really hitting home.

PAST TOP PICK
BUY
Very nice yield at just under 8%. Expect they will maintain distributions that current levels after they had converted.
