PAST TOP PICK

( Top Pick Jul 23/08 Up 15%) Contracts are 2-4 years out. Canadian but with global customers but have advantage within our economy

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 26/08. Up 9.72%.) Basically a North American infrastructure play. Had a lot of exposure to urban land development but are well diversified beyond that. Well managed. They only do engineering and don't take any construction risks.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 29/08. Down 3.4%.) Exposure to water treatment, environment, sewage, buildings, transportation, etc. Will be a beneficiary of infrastructure. Came down last year because of exposure to urban housing development, particularly in California. Still a Buy.

TOP PICK

Engineering. Will be a beneficiary of infrastructure spending, particularly at the municipal level. Well managed and have been very disciplined in the acquisitions they have made.

BUY

Extremely well positioned for infrastructure in North America. Hurt by having a fairly large urban development segment in the US. Also into buildings, architecture, highways, etc. Recently made an acquisition in water treatment engineering. Although they do engineering, they don't take on any of the construction risks. Good price.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Infrastructure type plays are going to be a tough row to hoe but this is a good company with a global reach.

TOP PICK

Well positioned in North America for infrastructure. Pretty much play the engineering side so does not have much construction risk. Very strong in transportation, waste management, water systems and engineering.

TOP PICK

North American engineering firm. Infrastructure play. Recently purchased a largely environmental engineering firm. Earnings over the next 2 years should be around 2.25 or higher.

BUY

In the infrastructure group he looks at Aecon Group (ARE-T) SNC Lavalin (SNC-T) and Stantec (STN-T). From a valuation point of view, he prefers this one. Multiples are cheaper and it is a bit more North American. Trading at under 3X BV.

TOP PICK

Infrastructure play. Great little engineering firm. Nicely positioned to Buy without much downside risk. Good defensive play. Even though world economies slow down, infrastructure will not.

PARTIAL BUY

Engineering/consulting. Grow through acquisitions. 5-year chart shows earnings up 50%. Subject to your view of the market, start with a small position

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Involved a lot on residential development.

TOP PICK

Relatively ignored engineering company. Thinks they will earn in the neighbourhood of $1.80 this year and is very inexpensive.

HOLD

An example of a consolidator. Grows by buying small engineering companies in the industry. If we are into less vigorous growth in the next couple of years, this would not be as attractive as it was in the past. Also, if you grow by acquisition there is always the danger that you are buying some trouble.

TOP PICK

Design and does engineering work for buildings, architecture etc. Very disciplined company and it came off quite a bit because of some residential work in the US. Expect they will earn over $2 a share in the next couple of years.
