The dividend cut was a huge disappointment.In the short-term, wouldn't own Noranda.Doesn't see a recovery in metals very soon.

They are closing down breweries in Brazil and taking write-offs.Brazil will be the third biggest beer market in about three years time.Very little competition there.

Was recently a top pick.Still likes.Second-quarter results were in line.May be a take over candidate.

Fully valued.Not a fan.Management owns less than 1% of outstanding shares.Doesn't see much growth.

Have fallen on hard times.Have to renegotiate their debt.Cut their dividend.Too expensive

Likes new management.Trimmed costs.Good properties.

A gassy stock.Some people do not like involvement in coal bed methane.Will require a number of wells.

Recent numbers have been weak.Overpriced.Management does not own, many shares.

Dead money. Balance sheet has been falling.

Good management. A gas stock thats at a good price for trading, but gas prices could soften a little bit more.

Be cautious in the short term.

Quality company. Good management. Gas is easing off, so there will be an opportunity to buy at a lower price. Management denies it, but it will probably become an income trust down the road.

Trading at a discount of 35/40% what they think its worth. Beat the earnings estimates.

Charts indicates it has turned the corner. Good dividend. The sector has 15/25% upside.

Dividend should be safe. Not sure there will be any growth.
