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.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 25/06. Up 54%.) Finally hitting on all cylinders. Will eventually benefit from any pipeline getting built. South America sales are going through the roof. The UK division finally got sorted out.
BUY
A leveraged play on the resource economy of western Canada and the emerging markets. Will keep going in the next few years.
TOP PICK
Has suffered some execution issues over the last couple of years. Looks like they're finally getting through. Earnings growth has begun to show some good signs. Have oil sands and mining exposure in good areas.
DON'T BUY
Quite fully valued. The whole sector looks a little on the pricey side.
WEAK BUY
The model price is almost $50 which is a 5% positive differential. Just sold his holdings.
DON'T BUY
Makes money both selling equipment and has a nice consistent cash flow through servicing. Had some problems in Britain and are not completely out of the woods yet.
HOLD
Very involved in the oil sands, but also are substantially involved in South America for a lot of mining project. As long as there is global growth in the industry, it should continue to do all right. Wouldn't be surprised if growth slows down on a cyclical basis. OK for a long-term hold.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 4/06. Up 27.9%.) In the last 4 years, they have taken a hit on the currency. With the Cdn$ being down, they will actually have an increase in the foreign exchange. They have big position in South American mining which is going ahead full bore.
BUY
A model price is $48.72, only a 3% positive differential, but it has huge revisions.
HOLD
A great play on Western Canadian development and the economy. Worked through their UK problems. Started dividends although their earnings were not as good as they should be. Fairly valued. Would like it below $40.
BUY
The English operation was an albatross around their neck, which they managed to shed. Doing great in South America, Western and Northern Canada. Every time they sell a machine, they have supply and maintenance contract which is good for their revenue base.
BUY
Finally did something right, with their UK holdings. Still likes the South American operations very much.
DON'T BUY
Has been one of the best performing stocks over this cycle. Economically sensitive stocks have started to suffer. Earnings are still very good but the market is seeing some risk going forward.
COMMENT
Putting it beside Toromont Industries (TIH-T) it comes out as a more high quality company. Big infrastructure needs should keep propelling both companies forward.
COMMENT
Owns some of their bonds. A great company with some good international plays. Guidance has been 20% a year, which is a very high number, and this has hurt them. The market is thinking the economy boom is slowing down which has affected the price.
