TOP PICK

Waste management is a pretty stable business. Good cash flow generator. Made a big acquisition in the US with a lot of paper in relation to the size of the income trust and the market is just trying to digest that unit issue and that has been keeping the price of the unit down.

TOP PICK

A recession proof industry. Growth is 4% in Canada and 7% in the US. Great marketing strategy. High internalization rate. Recently made some good acquisitions which will give them good leverage. Relatively conservative payout ratio.

A very experience management team that is not only good at handling non-hazardous waste, but are also good at making acquisitions.

A wonderful business. Has some organic growth. Price is dropping because of a large merger they are putting in place with IESI out of Texas and a purchase of Ridge Landfill in Ontario. Both of these moves are going to be very beneficial, however, they will have to sell a great deal of equity in the next month.

One of the top business trusts in Canada. Has been very good at making tuck-in acquisitions. Just made a big acquisition in the US which is accretive from day one. Needed a big footprint in the US to grow.
