WEAK BUY

Model price of $28. Very high risk stock. Has a boom/ bust cycle.

DON'T BUY

A smaller company and a tough market for small companies. There are better companies available.

BUY

Has been oversold. Cheap on a price to book value and a price to earnings basis.

WAIT

Missed two quarters in a row in their earnings estimates. The stock is in a “ shown me” mode. Until they can get a couple of quarters meeting expectations, the stock could tread water. Not expensive.

TOP PICK

Feels they are putting their house in order. We'll probably earn a $1.85 this year and in excess of $2 next year.

BUY

Likes the story. In a good area where the market is growing. A trading stock. If you buy here, sell at $17.

TOP PICK

Trades at 6/7 X earnings. Trades at book value. 15% ROE.

DON'T BUY

Has not been a favourite. Grows by acquisition and new share issues rather than organically. A relatively low-margin business. Not sure where the Ontario auto insurance is going.

BUY

Earnings were relatively solid. Has a history of negative surprises, but you are buying at 7 X earnings, which gives a good cushion. Trading inexpensively compared to its peers in the US.

DON'T BUY

Undervalued according to their model price, but not interested in general insurance companies.

DON'T BUY

Analysts seem to be discouraged with the company with the guidance they've provided and their inability to create earnings. Prefers others.

TOP PICK

Revised his earnings estimates to two dollars, which is a multiple in the 6 1/2 range. Trading near book value.

BUY

Stock got hit very hard. Had an earnings disappointment, but supposedly this is only short-term. An ideal entry point from a technical perspective would be $10.

BUY

The company just can't seem to get itself going. Extremely cheap stock at this price. Good company and good management. Could reach the high teens a year from now. Trading below book value.

DON'T BUY

Has been under pressure and will stay under pressure for the time being. Seems to make too many acquisitions.
