HOLD
Take over bid now at $3.35. He has owned this company for a number of years. They refused the take-over bid and refuse to negotiate while looking for a white night. If bid comes off the table it will drop like a stone.

BUY
About 7.3% of his portfolio. He has done poorly over time. They have a new CEO as of May. Finally decided to pay off the preferred shares. They are also cutting the work force about 5% and it will hit the bottom line for the next couple of quarters.

PAST TOP PICK
BUY
Owns and is on his Buy list. Can see it doing a double from here. There will be a management change soon but he doesn’t know who. This will be a big factor as to where the company will go from here.

BUY
Have a nice cash position. Did much better over the last couple of years. Last time they had a lot of cash they went out and overpaid for an acquisition. One would hope they don’t get into that position again.

PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 18/10, Up 4.64%) Still likes it. Thinks summer’11 will be when investors see the true earnings growth in the medical side of the business. Legacy business is trailing off. 17% lift in earnings expected. 10.8 PE, 19% ROE. Nice 4 quarters trailing cash flow. Significant debt but due 2 years from now and cash will cover it.

BUY
Earnings forecast to grow 33% to $0.26 by March/11. Should be easily able to pay off their debt in 2 years assuming debt is not converted into common. ROE is forecast at 33%. This summer is the key when you start to see their medical platform that has been 4 years in progress.

BUY
Getting their house in order and paying down debt a little. A tough and competitive space but a good company for Canadian space.

Likes this and thinks it can go up quite a distance. Seems to be turning around. Have some good products. In a field with a lot of competition.

TOP PICK
Unloved with long and chequered past but thinks they are turning around. Bunch the legacy business is winding down but core business is growing very well. $.25 per share of free cash flow in last 4 quarters. Debt but a lot of cash so net debt is zero. Trading at 10X PE and growing earnings by estimated 33%.
