PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 27/18, Down 6%) They had a special dividend at the end of 2018. He likes this a lot. Cannabis will likely cannabilize a lot of beer sales. In the U.S. beer sales are hit when a state legalizes weed, but not wine and spirits. They keep generating cash and special dividends.

DON'T BUY
A solid company with a good balance sheet and nice yield. There is a modest opportunity for upside. Since 2012 they have traded between 2.5 and 3.5 times book, with a downward basis trend. The share price is unchanged in ten years and has added no value to investors in that time. He calls these stocks, "grazers" -- too comfortable to become "wolves". Nice company -- it is not going anywhere.

COMMENT
A cash machine. Owned by Pernod-Ricard and pays a decent dividend. Occasionally, it pays a special dividend. Hard to know what the future is. A safe, defensive stock. Will Pernod buy it out and go private. It's fairly valued now if you own, you could sell, but overall the stock is okay.

WATCH
Affinity for a product is different from investing in a stock. Don't touch until gets above $13.50. Stock seems to be pausing and could continue dropping, which would be confirmed by a drop below $12, and then you should get out. Thinly traded is a problem, as you don't want to buy a stock you can't get out of easily.

Good company. Pretty safe with it. Spirits companies are great. Strong data with Corbys. ROIC 18% with 13% in recent years. Valuation reasonable. Good dividend at 3.8%.
