SELL

Not a good-looking chart. Volume is a bit higher than average on the down side. The 12% gain in May has all evaporated.

WEAK BUY

It is not showing very big growth but it is a very interesting business. Two of major banks are very stocky clients and have been for years. Pays a nice dividend, is being maintained, having been cut a long time ago. It is not in trouble but it is not going to be exciting.

BUY

Dividend is sustainable. 10% right now. Fortunately an analyst has started covering it again. It got a reasonable report. It’s been solid recently so it should be all right. They can use losses from other companies to sustain their dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 23/10. Up 5.15%.) Still likes.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jan 21/10, Up 19.55%) Has an 18.5% yield and have signaled they will be an income trust until 2013.

TOP PICK

Designs and produces forms for banks and insurance companies.19% yield will be going down when they convert to a corp.

HOLD

Got a great tradition of software. It’s a solid company. Not been stellar in terms raising its revenue in the last year. Hold for income and reliability. Inroads into government. Could get taken out one day.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Publish a lot of forms for banks, annual reports, etc. Very high payout ratio last year. Expecting distributions to be cut anywhere from 30% to 35% when they convert.

BUY

There is great security with this small-cap company. Will have to transition into a corporation by year-end but yield should still be very strong.

HOLD

Printing. Good free cash flow business. Won't be able to maintain a 12% yield when it converts to a corporation. As a rule of thumb, use a 25%-30% cut.

TOP PICK

16% yield. Absolutely sustainable. They think $.80 dividend is conservative after conversion to a corporation. The only market risk is that there are no buyers.

TOP PICK

Healthy dividend yield of 18%. Will not convert over until the last moment. All Canadian banks are its clients. Leader in document management services

BUY

Prints and publishes various material. Customers include Canadian Tire and Shoppers Drug Mart. Have been hit hard by the recession. Have a very high yield. Over distributing at about 109% payout ratio and market is already pricing in a distribution cut.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) In the publishing area. Going through some tough times but at these levels it is a buy.

COMMENT

Specialty publishing of labels, annual reports, tickets, etc. The little weakness reflects the weakness in the economy. Will probably have to do a 20%-25% distribution cut from 25%.
