TOP PICK
IT company, mostly based in Quebec, deals with public and government. No Debt. Not quite half of trading price in cash. Wouldn’t surprise him if there was a take over. They make money.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jun 12/09, Up 39.50%) Good upside play.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Still likes it but would not buy it. Likes the management. No debt. Doing a lot of interesting things to turn the company around. Sweet one in his portfolio. Would not surprise him to see a dividend in the next year or so.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Feb 9/10, up 8.33%) Marginal profit last quarter because of IT upgrades/ERP system installation. Typically ERP installation is a red flag for a stock until it is completed. Leader in the field, revenues up year over year. When they re-establish the dividend that should really help the stock price.
HOLD
Expected them to turn around more quickly than they had. ERP system is taking too long to bring on line. They are a tech company should have had a better idea how they work. Hoping they will pay a dividend again in time.
TOP PICK
IT solutions out of Quebec along with retail outlets. Had about $150 million in revenues this past quarter. Clean balance sheet. Looking for a double. Not a lot of liquidity, so a tough one to trade.
TOP PICK
Huge company in Quebec. Profits dropped last quarter. No debt, lots of cash. Hoping they will pay a dividend soon. Thinly traded.
BUY

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 4/11. Down 15.98%.) Has done poorly over the past year. Took over a company that didn’t work out so they have been writing it off. Revenues have also been decreasing from $500 million-$400 million. President feels it will be another quarter or 2 before things turn around, so patience is necessary. It is still on his Buy list but he is less patient now than he was before.
