COMMENT
One of the hottest sectors during the last couple of years. Agricultural sector tends to have very strong seasonality characteristics. Have not shown up as well in the last year or two because fundamentals of the industry have been so strong. Historically, the best time to Buy his around the end of June when they do very well until the end of December. For an agriculture stock, he would prefer Deere (DE-N), which is both agriculture and infrastructure.

TOP PICK
The best of the companies in the agricultural space. Brilliantly run and brilliantly diversified.

WEAK BUY
The best agricultural stock in the Canadian market place. Their merger was good. They’re in a very strong pricing environment. Can trade at a higher earnings multiple than it is right now.

TOP PICK
This stock had a big upwards gap. This stock has made a recovery high. It’s doing very well. It went through a big reorganization, new names, new people. Great stock.

TOP PICK
Formerly Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. Tremendous management and have had great results. Subject to the vagaries of the weather it should continue to do brilliantly. Thinks it's capable of breaking out from these levels.

COMMENT
(Caller - Wheat is at $25 a bushel, but this stock hovers around the $12 mark. Why?) There is a disconnect as they are benefiting from the movement of grain but not from the price. Analysts’ target prices are only slightly higher from its current price. Have been resolving a lot of their assets in terms of restructuring. Like their acquisition of Agricore. A better way to attack the issue is through Potash (POT-T) or Agrium (AGU-T) although the direct way is buying commodities.

BUY
Thinks this gets dragged slowly along with other agricultural items. Brilliantly run. A good one to hold. Won't give you the super spikes that you are getting with other areas of agriculture.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 24/07. Down 0.68%.) If you want to trade stocks, this is one that is all over the place. The longer-term trend is up. Really believes a portion of all portfolios should be in agriculture.

BUY
He has a target price of $12.84 but thinks it could easily blow through there. They control about 42% of the Canadian market and they have a lot of upside. Have additional debt, but the balance sheet is much bigger so they can support it.
