SELL

Fully priced. Doesn't expect it will be taken out. Very leveraged. Last quarter earnings beat the analysts’ expectations by about $0.06. Their Allstream purchase has been a nightmare.

COMMENT

Has done very well. Yield is quite high, but there is concern that they will not be able to continue with that kind of dividend. Could be a target at some point, which is why it is at its current high price.

WEAK BUY

Still likes it. Has a decent yield, with a decent upside. Better value then Telus.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 13/06. Up 5.7%.) 4.5% dividend. He recently sold his holdings. Has probably seen the best behind it.

SELL

Has recovered from the All Stream acquisition. Balance sheet is pretty leveraged. Big dividend. In order to add accretion to the stock, they need to get bigger. Still struggling. Would take some profit now.

SELL

Investors buying into this name have been doing so for the potential takeover only. The underlying business is a pretty weak business. Their bulk of their business is from local and long-distance which is a brutal business.

BUY

A well-run telecom company. Balance sheet is not particularly levered for a telecom. Not a bad place to be.

DON'T BUY

There is an erosion of its base because of competition from cable. Revenues are down.

DON'T BUY

Think it's a little rich right now.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't like the telecom market too much. Over competitive. Have a high yield and great cash flow. Cable companies are one step ahead of the telecoms.

HOLD

Feels it will be able to maintain its dividend. Have substantial tax losses available, so could be an acquisition target.

DON'T BUY

This has been an under performing stock. The catalyst is that it could be acquired, but he doesn't buy stocks on that basis. Would prefer a Rogers (RCI.B-T) or Telus (T-T).

DON'T BUY

Way over valued according to his model.

BUY

Very nice dividend. Investors are avidly seeking dividends. Its base business, wire line telephone, is probably in a long-term decline.

BUY

Has drifted down because it can't convert to an income trust. Solid 6% dividend that is still supported by earnings. The Allstream tax losses are still protecting the earnings.
