DON'T BUY

$.80 distribution will be a $.60 dividend when they convert. Tremendous payout but they have a lot of debt on the balance sheet. People do not use Yellow Pages much any more. Has difficulty understanding how they can continue with the big payouts.

PARTIAL SELL

Never been a fan of this company, the business model or the outlook for them. Trying to diverse away from the “book” and getting more internet related. Worries they go from being a monopoly in print to being just another name on the Internet. If a big part of your portfolio, look to diversify.

DON'T BUY

Not big fan of this one. Distributions will decline. The model concerns him. They can't keep growing through acquisitions.

COMMENT

Looking at converting to a corporation. Successfully refinanced some of its debt. People are using less and less telephone directories and the jury is still out on how well they transition to digital. Reasonably priced and getting pretty good yield.

WEAK BUY

Preferred shares? A little below his credit rating minimum quality. Can't see any imminent trouble with it but doesn't have the financial strength that credit rating agencies are going to give it an investment grade thumbs up. Bit of a risk.

HOLD

Preferred bonds with 7% yield. Preferreds would rank a little below on the capital structure. Comfortable with this name.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) A little concerned about the labour dispute in Quebec but have been paying down their debt. Looks like a good long-term hold.

BUY

High free cash flow yield. Increased competition from Internet but stock price reflects that. They are doing a good job in developing their own Internet based business.

BUY

They are getting the message that they have to de-leverage their balance sheet. Announced they will pay $.80 and drop to $.65 distribution plus limit themselves to small acquisitions.

SELL

(Market Call Minute) Has been buying the preferred shares, which will increase when they cut the distribution, which they will.

TOP PICK

He likes it when the analysts collectively hate something. It is a simple business that is tied to the growth of our economy. As the Canadian economy does better, this stock will benefit. Online business is being ignored too much and it is growing at 20%. Yield will be cut when they convert. Distribution will drop to $0.65 and the extra capital will be used to pay down debt.

BUY

An interesting stock because of its high yield. Doesn't fit his style because earnings have been de-accelerating but this is a stock you can own. Even if they, it will probably still be in the low double digits.

COMMENT

There will be a circular sent out sometime towards the end of March proposing a date for the meeting regarding conversion to a corporation. Street has mixed reactions as to whether distributions will be cut and by how much. Even so, you could still end up with a 12%-13% yield. Although business is not growing, it is stable.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute) Would not race to buy

BUY

Current distribution is around 15.5%. Will probably cut their distributions to about 12% when they convert to a corporation, which is still quite good. Face some challenges transitioning from print media to online media but they are managing it well.
