HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) A lot of things are holding its support.
BUY
Very special Canadian company. Very diversified range of goods. For long-term, this makes a lot of sense.
SELL
Reporting tomorrow. A lot of people are reducing their estimates. Coming down to the $37-$38 support level. Worried about the retail sector because of competition. Wouldn't be surprised to see it trading at $35 in the next 6 months.
HOLD
Expects modest growth over the next 2 to 3 years. Getting into the food business in a limited way, which he finds quite strange. Have done a fairly decent job in terms of shifting some products around and revamping stores. Mark’s Work Warehouse operation is good and is adding value.
COMMENT

Good Short? Thinks all retailer businesses to him are going to be terrible. Consumers are going to spend less. If you're trading directionally, it is probably not a bad short over the next year. Pick your spot in a relief rally.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 23/07. Down 41%.) 3rd quarter was better than expected. Like all retailers, the stock has been hammered. Will probably have a tough 4th quarter.
COMMENT
Great defensive play. Growth rates are slowing so they continue to look to the US market for growth, which has always been a problem with them. Thinks it is going to be a difficult retailing environment so they are looking at having some groceries. Low margins and Wal-Mart is in the same neighbourhood.
N/A
Had an earnings miss. Growth rate is slow. Not a lot of driver there. Cars are built more reliably but one could argue that people might repair them themselves.
DON'T BUY
Had a double top at around $85. (A true double top is tremendously bearish.) Below its 200-day moving average. Wouldn't get involved yet. Needs to find a base and the 200-day moving average to flatten out. Also needs a different economy.
COMMENT
Have downgraded their earnings and they won't have flat to negative earnings this year. Ontario economy is slowing down and this is a big chunk of their earnings. Stock is quite cheap.
WAIT
(Market Call Minute.) Having a really tough time here and a tough quarter. Statistically cheap so may be OK for a 5year view. Wait a few quarters out.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Cannot get his head around any of the Canadian retailers. Wal-Mart (WMT-N) will not be good for any Canadian retailer.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Had a fairly healthy pullback and should proceed well. Good valuation.
DON'T BUY
Great Canadian company. Stock has been very disappointing. Retail discretionary spending is going to be challenging. Faced with increasing competition. The revenues that come from their financial services will be vulnerable.
COMMENT
Great, long-term franchise. Has been hitting 52-week lows. Under pressure due to the weakening Ontario economy. There is also a lot more competition. Getting to a point where it might be interesting as a Buy.
