Stockchase Opinions

Andrew Guy, CFA Resolve Business Outsourcing Income Fund RBO.UN-T PAST TOP PICK Feb 06, 2008

(A Top Pick Feb 8/07. Down 5% including distributions.) Didn't deliver on expectations, largely because of management's inability to flow through good top line results to the bottom line. A lot of potential good things. It's a Buy if management can go through the results. Watch.

TOP PICK
Helps companies/governments do data processing. Has been around for about 35 years and has about 11% yield. Relatively low risk.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Past Top Pick Feb 8/07. Down 3.3%.) Still good long term if they can get some pieces moved around. More a 2008 story than a 2007 story. Still likes.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 8/07. Flat.) Little hesitant because of the time it will take for them to show what they can do. Very strong relationships in the outsourcing business. A couple of the businesses require upfront investments in 2007 before revenue starts to hit in 2008. A Hold or By On Weakness.
DON'T BUY
Very little organic growth. They provide outsourcing. Grown through acquisition. Doesn't like their accounting practices.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 8/07. Down 2.8%.) A little more cautious in the near-term, but likes it longer-term. Made a couple of acquisitions making them the dominant player in the Canadian student loan business. This will add costs over the next 6 to 12 months. A Hold. 11.4% yield should be secure.
BUY
11% yield. Expected to reach $10 in a year.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb */07. Down 13.4%.) As the new businesses they were looking for came on, it brought on more costs and they haven’t been able to generate the revenues. Still optimistic. Sold his holdings.
WAIT
Growth primarily comes from outsourcing financial administration. Credit card applications, student loans for banks and various federal government applications. Hit a couple of bumps and results have not been there. Last quarter was decent, but wait for another quarter to see that they can deliver. 12.8% yield is not at risk.
BUY

More short term and corporate exposure. A good fit for a conservative investor especially in a tax sheltered account.
