Finning International (FTT-T) is recognized for its distribution of Caterpillar products and has enjoyed a significant price increase, recently moving past its fair market value. While some experts see potential in this stock, noting the correlation with copper markets and its attractive chart formations, concerns about holding prices above $78 and the potential for a correction loom. The equipment dealer sector is considered favorable due to its resilience against inflation and alignment with global growth, suggesting a buy approach at lower levels. However, with uncertainties in Canadian infrastructure and energy sectors, some analysts advise caution, preferring Caterpillar directly. The current phase in the market cycle could favor industrials, providing a broader bullish sentiment for certain stocks in this category.

BUY
Their products needed for all the infrastructure projects.
DON'T BUY
A dominant player in the heavy equipment sector and is diversified globally. Has done extremely well since March because of anticipation of the recovery being here. He is not so sure recovery will be that smooth. Longer term it is an extremely well managed company. 2.5% dividend.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 2/08. Down 24.5%.) Caterpillar equipment dealer. Down because of the metals more than anything else in specifically because of their interest in South America. Waiting to see what happens in South America because of their moving to the left.
COMMENT
South American mining exposure is more cyclical and more depressed than Toromont (TIH-T). Also their UK heavy equipment operation is experiencing a lot of competition right now.
HOLD
Largest global dealer in Caterpillar equipment. While diversified base including oil sands, South American dealerships in the UK. Good, solid, economic recovery kind of story.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 2/08. Down 27.26%.) Caterpillar distributor. Benefiting from the Olympics. If Mackenzie Valley pipeline ever goes ahead, they'll make some money. A lot of activity in South America. Good entry point. As metal prices/infrastructure picks up they will benefit. Strong Cdn$ hurts. Buy.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 10/08. Down 35.33%.) Biggest Caterpillar distributor globally and geared to mining and oil. Went down with commodities but was oversold. Tremendous business in parts replacement and maintenance contracts. With commodities picking up machinery is getting sold again. A Buy.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Has exposure to the UK that is still under performing. Has exposure to the mining sector in South America, which is okay but also has exposure to the oil sands, which is a bit of an anchor on it.
BUY
Caterpillar franchise in Canada/Europe. Will benefit from infrastructure spending. Looks like it is putting a bottom in. For a long-term horizon, this could be a Buy.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 3/08. Down 63.8% but only down 6.5% if sold on June 13 as recommended.) Trend is still on a downside and has yet to show any signs of bottoming.
DON'T BUY
Cyclical so it needs demand from the big companies. If projects are being mothballed then this company will pay the price.
COMMENT
Lives and dies by the Caterpillar sword. Great construction company. It will be great later. Good dividend.
TOP PICK
Good exposure to mining industry, which he likes. Have Caterpillar franchise for Alberta and BC and will benefit from Winter Olympics, Alaskan pipeline project as well as the oil sands. Also exposure in South America where most of the mines are being developed. Had a couple of bad quarters because of the strong Cdn$ and he thinks we are now in a position to see that reversed.
BUY
Very good company. Basically leases large moving equipment, etc. At this juncture, it is probably an interesting bet. You have to look at the overall mining operations and a lot of companies are expanding and the need for equipment is still very high.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) You could own both Caterpillar (CAT-N), the manufacturer and Finning (FTT-T), the distributor.
