PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 13/05. Down 19%.) Like all Telco’s, there is concern that long-term viability is not there.

DON'T BUY

The dividend is sustainable, but they are paying out more relative to income which is probably due to Allstream eating these guys up. Also losing business to the cable companies. Not a fan.

DON'T BUY

Dividend is currently yielding about 6.3%. Any time you see a dividend that high, you know there is skepticism about the company’s ability to pay it. Most analysts think they will be able to skate through, but it is tight, so considers it speculative. If you own, would continue to hold.

DON'T BUY

Liked its 6% dividend yield and profit growth, but the ROE began to deteriorate and there were some other concerns about their operations, so the company sold its holdings.

WEAK BUY

The stock is not without risk. The Allstream acquisition is not going as smooth as they had hoped so they had to bring down their earnings estimates. Doesn't think the dividend is in jeopardy any time soon.

DON'T BUY

Broke down through the 200 day moving average line.

HOLD

The yield looks attractive, but the last quarter reported brought into question as to whether the margin is sustainable. Doesn't the cut would be very much.

HOLD

This is not a growth stock. Doesn't have a wireless position. It's landlocked. Has fallen off because of all the hullabaloo about income trust conversion. Dividend is probably safe. If you need income, it's a fine holding.

DON'T BUY

A dividend cut looms large if that's the reason you bought this stock. Looking at his holdings very hard and wants to do some more homework on it.

BUY

Undershot expectations in this last quarter. A lion's share of their business is wireline telephone. All companies in this area are having a difficult time of it because there is virtually no growth. Their Allstream business is having a tough time. They don't have the wireless exposure. There is some risk for the dividend.

HOLD

There ought to be a limit to the downside. The Allstream seems to be problematic here. It does have a good solid home territory.

SELL

Telecommunication sector has been very weak here and this stock took out the very important low of '04. This is a signal that the stock is going to have some trouble for a while. Had a failed top after a double top. Could go lower.

DON'T BUY

Rising interest rates make their dividends relativley less attractive. Results for the last quarter were fairly anemic.

DON'T BUY

Feels the 6.3% dividend is safe, but wouldn't rush out to buy this one. The problem is that it is a core wire line business and they all have the same problem of the long distance business melting down on them.

DON'T BUY

All the telecoms are getting killed by competition with the cable companies as well as Voice Over Internet (VoIP). Long distance margins are pretty well nil.
