COMMENT

This is sort of a 2 piece business. Real estate business on top of utility business. He prefers businesses that are in one business. It doesn’t meet his hurdle rates for his mutual fund portfolios.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Dec 30/11, Up 2.99%)

BUY

Probably very good. You are looking for a breakout above $34-$34.50. That would be the signal to not only buy a bit but get ready for a major breakout. Chart shows a flat top but rising on the bottom and any kind of a breakout would suggest it was going to have a major up leg. Use a stop loss at around $32.

TOP PICK

Preferred Series J, 4.75%. This is a brand new issue and still hasn’t settled up yet so not trading. It is a perpetual so longer-term. You are out to 2021 before it can be called, which he likes.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 20/11. Up 5.95%.) At that time was looking for something extremely defensive. Secure 3.6% dividend.

BUY

One of these boring stocks as one you get paid while you are waiting. Consistent dividend growth. Over a long period of time it generates strong wealth for the shareholder. No capital gain in the last little while. A safe name, which market wants to own. Natural name for these types of companies over the next 10 years.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 24/11. Up 11.13%.) Utility companies have not gone up as much as telcos and some of the pipelines so are still a relatively better value play. Still a Buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 11/11. Up 9.92%.) It's hard to justify buying any utility at this time.

BUY
Common or Preferreds (C)? Preferreds probably have a little higher yield but he prefers the common shares. Have increased their dividend every year for 37 years. Great growth potential in BC and Alberta plus they have made a potential Hydro/gas distribution US acquisition.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 20/11. Up 2.87%.) Good utility.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 4/11. Up 3.69%.) This has just been going sideways.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Much upside with their recent acquisition? Thinks they will be challenged. Probably paid a little too much. Regulatory concerns on whether the deal goes through. Trading at a very rich price. Likes it. Thinks the dividend is safe but try to Buy on a pullback.
BUY
Although it may not be going anywhere, it is paying you well you wait. The dividend tends to rise year after year and, more important, the stock is pretty stable. 4% dividend.
DON'T BUY
Challenged right now. Valuation is stretched right now. BCE is doing a cost review right now. Just did an acquisition in the states and probably paid too much and will take some time to be accretive. Dividend is save and payout ratio is ok,
BUY
Great defensive name. Regulated entity. Have recently been increasing dividends.
