BUY

Stock has had a fairly good recovery. It had come under considerable pressure with the acquisition of Allstream. Had good improvement in earnings over the last couple of quarters. Looking for a growth in dividends from $2.60 to $2.80/3.00 over time. Valuation is reasonable.

HOLD

Yield is about 6%. Feels the dividend is not at risk as they generate enough free cash flow. Just completed the Allstream acquisition. Some concern as to whether they'll be able to generate growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(A past Top Pick Sept 30/04. Up 11%.) Throws off a lot of free cash flow. Dividend yield is around 6%. Could be a dividend increase.

TOP PICK

Stock has had a beautiful set back and looks like it's on its way up again. FMV is in the mid $60's. Nice dividend yield. Pretty much bullet proof. FMV close to $70.

DON'T BUY

Not a fan. Model price of around $41.50.

BUY

Dividend probably won't grow for the next 2/3 years, but is very safe. Yielding about 5 1/2%. Also expects capital appreciation. Allstream acquisition will give them growth and be be beneficial.

DON'T BUY

Telecom sector outlook is one of extremely slow growth or even declines. Have smaller exposure to wireless than their peers. Company is in good financial condition, so the dividend appears to be safe.

BUY

5.6% yield. Should give you a 22/23% total return.

TOP PICK

A pretty big yield and quite safe. The trending in their financing and their numbers all seem to be going up. A good alternative to fixed income. If interest rates go up, the dividends might be increased!

WEAK BUY

Like most telecoms, good in a portfolio. Dividend. Safe. Nothing spectacular.

WEAK BUY

Seems to have reached a level primarily due to the dividend. Should be able to maintain their dividend for the next year or two. Not sure they will have much growth because of competition.

WEAK BUY

A report is due a week tomorrow, so hasn't been able to interview anyone at the company. Doesn't expect much growth. Good dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 27/04. Down 1.5%.) Still likes. Getting over 6% yield. An income trust is still a possibility.

DON'T BUY

Not much growth in the company. Kicking out a lot of free cash flow, so dividends tend to be high. Wireline companies are having a difficult time. Take over of Allstream may have been more than they could chew.

TOP PICK

Yielding about 6.3%. Stock is down because of scepticism on their acquisition of Allstream.
