DON'T BUY

Major asset is Loblaws (L-T) but more recently they have sold some US companies and are sitting there with about $20 a share. Until you know what they are going to do with their excess cash you're better off staying away from this.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Short Feb 20/08. Recommended covering on July 30 for a gain of 7.7%.) Important to have a strong price discipline.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 8/08. Up 21%.) Loblaws (L-T) had been overly punished and any sort of improvement would be a benefit. Also bakery division was turning around and they have since sold at a profit.

PAST TOP PICK

Preferred A's. (A Top Pick Apr 25/08. Down 10%.) Now that they have sold their bakery division, it is not known what the company is going to do. Yields about 8.6%.

TOP PICK

Finally seeing some improvements in Loblaws (L-T) and the beginning of a turn. Recently sold their US bakery division. Speculation that they could privatize Loblaws.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.)

PAST TOP PICK

Preferred A's.(A Top Pick Apr 25/08. Down 10%.) This was a Pairs trade with a Short on Loblaws (L-T) and he made above 15% off the Shorts. (Thought preferreds would be safer than the common but commons did exceptionally well. Still likes preferreds. Still a defensive play but won't have the kind of run it had in the last 3 months.

TOP PICK

There have been some improvements in the bakery operations. Seeing more earnings coming in from the Loblaws sector.

COMMENT

Looking at this through the common shares, but more particularly through the C or D preferreds, which are selling around $16.25 while the call price is $26. Doesn't expect this will occur anytime soon. Could give a good capital gains.

DON'T BUY

Very defensive play and that is why a lot of people are interested in it. In a normal environment, food is a great place to be when the market is having troubles but in this case, it is not acting as well as it probably should. Competition is growing.

BUY

One of few stocks that has been up recently

TOP PICK

Strong Cash flow, low economic sensitivity, showing signs of improving. Little economic risk, start with partial position. Stop $46.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) In a long basing phase along with Loblaw's (L-T). Loblaw's have had their distribution problems and he would like to see this issue resolved.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Short Feb 20/08. Gain of 7.7%.) Would probably be covering this one right now. Wouldn’t invest in this one way or another.

PAST TOP PICK

Preferred A's.(A Top Pick April 25/08. No change when you include dividends.) Pairs trade. Went Long George Weston preferreds (WN.PR.A-T) and Short Loblaws (L-T). Still likes for the next year.
