SELL

If you own, consider it as a tax loss sale. There is nothing imminent that is going to drive it up. On Dec 24 it will be added into the TSX index. That will give you a good opportunity to take advantage of some strength. Right now, $.84 for 08 and $1 for 09 is too high.

DON'T BUY

Stock dropped 40% when they lost the US Defence Department contract. There is a lot of uncertainty as to why they lost this. Also did a big financing of $9.5 million. Let it shake itself out before buying.

COMMENT

Mine jamming equipment. Just lost getting the Crew3 contract. A lot of these companies are very dependent on new contracts and are very news dependent.

COMMENT

Struggling a little bit as they did a giant acquisition and they are just going through the 1st quarter of the acquisition. Did a financing at $9.50. Had to absorb a $300 million financing, which took a lot of buyers off the table. Short-term target would be $10 tops but if their 1st quarter is good with this acquisition they could go to $15.

COMMENT

Interesting technology to detect and detonate roadside bombs. Did a large financing to acquire Med-Eng. Expect to see continued contract announcements. Stock should trade up, but the one caveat is the integration issues.

HOLD

Did an issue and it kind of slowed up the company in terms of trading. Somewhat of an expensive stock.

DON'T BUY

Market Call Minute - Market is too frothy and he is nervous about this. Very high Beta.

BUY

Manufactures a device that detects and jams roadside bombs. Really likes this one. Starting to get some big orders for this technology. Just acquired Med-Eng, which has complementary technology. Feels the 2 together will be worth $15.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 28/07. Up 93.8%.) In the top 25% of the database. Potentially large market for N.A. fixed locations such as bridges, tunnels and buildings.

BUY

Most interesting defence oriented company in Canada. Have some great contracts. Can see it going higher from here.

BUY

A fantastic stock. Have a great prospects.

HOLD

Have doubts as to the matter of measuring how many explosions they warded off roadside bombs in Iraq. Never sure of the political direction of anything in terms of Iraq and the US staying power there. He feels it will go higher.

DON'T BUY

A concept stock that has been turning into a reality play, might be seeing some competition.

BUY

Products have become much more commodity driven given what is going on in Iraq. There is a $20 target on this stock and it has been extremely volatile. A little pricey, but not a bad play.

COMMENT

One of the major players in the defence area for roadside bombs, et cetera. It's an intriguing area and he is looking into this.
