PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 28/03. Up 33%.) Sold long ago. It was bottom feeding on a broken down company.
DON'T BUY
Have had operational problems as well as issues with management, owners and directors. Have got new management which is totally untested. Still have some operational issues. Way too early to buy.
DON'T BUY
Would stay away from this one. When you don't know what management is and prices going against you, you're better to step back and find out what's really there.
DON'T BUY
Chairman, president and CFO were let go with cause today. Will be good for the company in the long run. In the short term, there will probably be a bit of a pop, but long term uncertainty.
DON'T BUY
Has personally shorted this stock. Might be a buyer at book value of $10/11. Because of higher gas prices, they will suffer from higher resin costs which will create a margin squeeze.
PAST TOP PICK
(A top pick Apr 16/04. Down 17%.) Fundamentals have not changed. Still worth $24.
DON'T BUY
Think the rise in price is symptomatic of the rising market where investors are chasing stocks simply because they are going up.
DON'T BUY
Not nearly as well regarded as it once was. A lot of management turmoil. Probably a ”wait and show me” stock.
WAIT
Is leery because of management changes.
DON'T BUY
Corporate governance has been a concern last year. Still has some question marks. Needs a clearer picture.
TOP PICK
Has 100% upside. Model price is $25.00. Cash machine, Very cheap.
BUY
If earnings estimates hold, the stock should be worth $26. $10.50 should be the bottom.
WAIT
CEO has just announced his departure. Has not participated in the building boom. Costs are being squeezed. Has excess capacity.
DON'T BUY
Strong Canadian dollar has hurt. Management has taken a lot of money and industry doesn't seem to have a lot of respect for management. New management may be an improvement.
