TOP PICK	Astral Media(ACM.A-T) October 25, 2012 (ACM.B) If the business stays as it is, it is a beautiful cash flow generator. Balance sheet in wonderful shape. It is still a takeout candidate.

DON'T BUY	Astral Media(ACM.A-T) October 23, 2012 Sold his holdings when he thought there were just too many regulatory risks. Was surprised when the BCE takeover did not go through.

BUY	Astral Media(ACM.A-T) March 13, 2012 There has been a lack of liquidity in the stock. Hopefully the thesis will work out with this name. Buying back shares, valuation is cheap, raising dividend, management is doing everything right. There has to be a lot more upside. entertainment services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	There has been a lack of liquidity in the stock. Hopefully the thesis will work out with this name.

TOP PICK	Astral Media(ACM.A-T) January 16, 2012 Likes companies that have low valuations, great history of rising dividends and potential for double digit earnings growth in the coming year. This company’s earnings have been growing. Probably trading at 10X earnings. The only media stock left that doesn't have a partner. Really excited about their new product HBOGO that competes with Netflix. entertainment services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Likes companies that have low valuations, great history of rising dividends and potential for double digit earnings growth in the coming year.
