PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 18/06. Up 20.4%.) An engineering company but does not take construction risks. Only operates in the engineering field. Will be a little bit exposed to US housing but are also fairly diversified in industrial areas. Sells at a discount to the larger caps.

DON'T BUY

An engineering company. Has done tremendously well through the years. One part of the business deals with new housing preparation work in the US. High-quality, but no longer cheap.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 3/06. Up 12%.) Likes the engineering and capital spending stocks.

TOP PICK

Very bullish on capital spending in North America. There is a huge pent-up demand for infrastructure. US corporations are flush with cash. The price earnings ratio is incredibly cheap at 18 X this year's earnings, far less than its peers.

TOP PICK

The engineering business is a 50 billion dollar business in the states. Many people -- for estate purposes -- are looking to get out, and Stantac is there ready to help.This business consolidates the fragmented. He likes them because do everything that SMC does except they don't take construction risks, or work outside North America. He bought at $31, 6 months ago. Risks are ill advised acquisitions that Stantec does.

HOLD

A great, well-managed company. Every quarter, they come out with great results and have growth year over year. They do a lot of development in real estate. He is bearish on the housing outlook. If housing comes down, part of their earnings will be affected. Multiple is now about 20 X’s which is getting high.

WEAK BUY

Growth by acquisition. Near term concern is that a substantial amount of their revenue comes from the housing side. Ranks 122 out of 700 in his database. Earnings are expected to grow from $2.10 to $2.34 in the calendar year.

TOP PICK

An engineering company that does not take on any construction risks. They are involved in the design phase and up to the construction. Growing by leaps and bounds in the North American market. Just made a fairly large US acquisition. Expects they will earn around $1.90 this year and as much as $2.25 next year. Extremely well managed.

BUY

Fully priced in the short term. Looking out 3/5 years, it will be acquiring small to mid size engineering firms. A very fragmented business. Likes it for the long term.

TOP PICK

In the professional services of the engineering space. Provide planning and management of different engineering services for building hospitals, road infrastructure, etc in the oil sands. Have doubled their EPS in the last 4 years. Grown by acquisitions. A long term buy.

TOP PICK

A well diversified company. In 5 areas, the urban land, environmental treatment, industrial, transportation and building management and design. Have no construction risks. Active only in Canada and the US. Expect a great period of consolidation.
