PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 29/14. Down 1.59%.) Has gone private (December 2014).

SELL

The market is playing right into their hands. Thinks TFI-T will extend the bid. TFI-T is not paying their dividends right now. He thinks it is time to move on.

TOP PICK

TransForce (TFI-T) has an offer in to buy this and it is board approved. Transforce stock went up 10%. It’s $0.30 accretive to earnings, which at a 15X multiple is worth almost $5 to Transforce stock. Everybody loves this deal, which by default means it is a bad deal for Contrans. This stock, at $15 with a 15X multiple on next year’s earnings, is an $18 stock without a takeover. This is at the economic stage where earnings will start to ramp up. Yield of 3.97%.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Apr 4/13, Up 26.47%) They executed very well, raising dividend 20%. Last quarter was pretty solid.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 4/12. Down 10.46%.) Had picked this one because he really wanted to get a company that had leverage to a rising economy. Nice little dividend. Doing okay, but hasn’t kicked in, in terms of that high degree of earnings leverage that he thought it would have. Feels it’s time will come, it’s just a little early. Still a buy.

TOP PICK

Transport company and ship goods by truck all over North America. Raised their dividend 25% a month ago. Has survived many past downturns. Very well run. Dividend yield of 3.25%. Expect one day they will sell the company.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 12/10. Down 3.88%.)

TOP PICK

Just did an issue. Less than truckload and truckload and volume is starting to pick up. This company is right in the middle of that improvement. 3.3% dividend.

WAIT

Well-Managed, high return on equity for years. Facing currency and high fuel prices and less Canadian exports. Cheap today. Turn probably not 2008. 14% yield.

WAIT

And economy cyclical. Involved in the trucking industry. Carries no debt. Management owns a ton of the stock. Have been great operators through the cycles. Thinks the recession risk is already priced into the stock. He senses that there will be an opportunity over the next 3 to 5 months, where it is currently at a very good entry point.

DON'T BUY

Trucking. Will be difficult making money owning this one right now. Freight traffic is going to decline. Multiple is pretty rich.

HOLD

A trucking trust. Very economically sensitive. Prefers TransForce Income Fund (TIF.UN-T), ATS Andlauer Income Fund (ATS.UN-T) and Clarke Inc (CKI-T). A good hold here, but on any rally, would transfer to one of the above.

DON'T BUY

A trucking firm. Have less exposure to western Canada, an area that he likes. Traffic going from Canada to the US has been hurt by the rising Canadian$. Debt on their balance sheet is reasonable, but payout ratio is too high.

DON'T BUY

Trucking companies are subject to the vagaries of the economies as well as any higher fuel costs. Prefers Parkland Industries.

TOP PICK

In the last 1 1/2 years, with the US economy coming back, the trucking industry is on a tear. Getting very good return on capital.
