Lacks strategic direction.

Under tremendous pressure. Expect a lot of restructuring.

A sleeper. Good price. Solid dividend support. Won't be a big growth.

Too many problems. Could drop further.

The smaller of the telco wireless. Very good company, but too much competition.

Cyclical. Could lead the forestry sector out on any rebound.

Have to wait to see what the government will do. Will take a long time.

(Was a top pick on May 22 down 65% re: NY disaster)

Wait for the economy to pick up.

Wait to see if air travel picks up.

In a lot of trouble. Will have to be restructured.

Not an enthusiast. A marginal palladium mine.

Limited growth. OK as a defensive stock.

Good dividend and at a low price. Defensive play and not one of the outstanding companies.

Buy their 9% bonds (maturity 2006) instead. Will result in a 14% yield.
