DON'T BUY

Would be nervous about any holding in this company. Balance sheet has been steadily weakening over the past couple of years.

DON'T BUY

Reported good earnings, but the stock dropped. Airlines are a challenging sector to invest in. They should be bought when fuel costs are a lot lower and yields are higher.

WEAK BUY

Not a fan of airlines. A bad move when they increased their costs by moving their eastern hub from the low landing costs of Hamilton to the highest in the world, Toronto. Fuel costs are also rising, but have been able to hedge theirs. Smart operators and run a very good business. In the short/medium term, stock should go higher.

DON'T BUY

They are running the company beautifully. An enigma. Loads are up, runs are up and the oil price is killing them.

DON'T BUY

The airline business is highly competitive, very volatile.

BUY

Have done well even with high input costs. If the input costs back off, they should do even better. The chart is the kind of pattern that he likes with its downtrend, a rally back and another downtrend, but you don't make a new low.

TRADE

Westjet has great load factors, dramatic increase in capacity, as well as traffic. Yields have been doing well. Lawsuit is not affecting the stock.

BUY

Earnings are going down, it looks like Air Canada has this guy's number. But all in all thinks "It would be a good bet for a trade"

DON'T BUY

Short is the operative word. Down trends are pretty solid. Airlines not his favourite. Breaking some support today. Expect the stock will head back towards it lows of Nov/05.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 29/05. Up 8%.) Had picked this as a contrary pick. Hurricane Katrina hit and jet fuel prices went through the roof. Great company, Great management, but fuel prices kill these guys.

WEAK BUY

Air fare increases have not yet impacted their capacity. It has been very good for their earnings. His only concern is their continuing expansion and the idea that they are going to add more US routes. Good speculation, but not a good investment.

DON'T BUY

Have had a number of kerfuffles. Have had some basic problems as well as management issues. Have deviated from their fomer business model which was a good one.

TOP PICK

Stock is now lower than when Jetsgo was in business. Ticket prices have gone up significantly, but have given all that margin back in higher oil prices. Well run. Capacity is growing. Don't jump in and buy right now, but only pick away at it. If oil prices ever do roll over, this will be the stock to go to.

DON'T BUY

Going through growth pains. Have expanded the number of routes and the frequency of their flights dramatically in the last couple of years. An extremely competitive business.

DON'T BUY

Has a hard time with airlines. Haven't seen people make a lot of money in this sector. No longer in the growth path.
