TOP PICK
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 11/12. Down 9.82%.) Hoping to hold this for 10 years. Auto parts distributor. Grows with the economy, so if the economy is weak, it is going to suffer. Low beta stock so it gets left behind with the current rally.

TOP PICK
6th largest auto parts distributor. A little bit less risk and nice dividend support. Just raised their dividend for the 1st time in 3 years. Recent acquisition has paid off.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 7/10. Down 2.59%.) A wholesale seller of auto parts in Canada and the US. Biggest thing holding them back has been US sales when translated into Cdn$’s. Had to sell off their heavy-duty asset side of the business so now totally focused on autos and trucks. Weakness in the Cdn$ or a pickup in the US economy will be needed to get them going again. Trading around 7-8 times earnings, so not expensive.

TOP PICK
Wholesale auto parts distributor. Price is down because they had a really crappy quarter. Got rid of their heavy-duty wholesale division, which had always been a huge drag on profitability. People tend to hold their cars longer. Good valuation. Clean balance sheet. Good dividend.

TOP PICK
His 3 Picks are resistance to recession/depression. Biggest auto parts distributor in Canada. In a recession, people tend to repair rather than buy cars. Trades around 10X forecasted earnings. 1.7% dividend.

TOP PICK
Wholesale distributor of auto parts. In a recession, people tend to not buy new vehicles. With the fall of the Cdn$ they are getting a pickup on earnings. Just announced an 11% increase in earnings. Extremely cheap at around 9 X earnings.

TOP PICK
TOP PICK
Wholesale distributor of auto parts. This is a contrarian pick as a stock is down around its 2003 lows and is #6 in North America. Revenues last year would have been 9% if the US$ hadn't been weak. If there is any kind of a rebound in the US$, the stock will start to pick up. Trading around 9X earnings. Strong free cash flow and very little debt.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 9/06. Up 2.4%.) Canadian and US wholesale auto-parts, but only mid-tier cities in the US. Very consistent margins. Have organically grown their business despite currency.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 23/06. Up 6.5%.) This is one that grows nice and slowly. Free cash flow is well beyond what they need in capital expenditures. Dividend increased from $.32 to $.40 last year.
