Alpha Pro Tech (APT-A)

This is funny in terms of a long-term outlook. They have a buildings supplies business, and the hospital protection business. Whenever there is a pandemic in the works, this company takes off. It has been moving around $4 per share, and thinks it could go a fair bit higher. He would like to get $6+ on it. When it moves, it could move very quickly.

He made a fortune on this company twice before. Whenever there is a scare this company really boots up. He would go to the AGM next Tuesday and learn about it.

They spiked during the Ebola scare. He wishes he sold at $10. If MERS has a big scare then the stock price could do a spike again. Wait for more of a pull back before getting in.

This is in 2 fields. One is building supplies, which is doing fairly well in the US. They also do protective gear in the health sector field.At the time of H1N1 and SARS, this stock skyrocketed. The company has zero debt and money in the bank. A few years ago they had about 23 million shares outstanding and are now down to 18 million. They could double or triple from this level.

(Top Pick Nov 9/12, Up 11.11%) Just reported great results. Building supplies division is doing well. Upside is pretty excellent for this one.

(A Top Pick July 16/12. Up 10.78%.) Small Canadian company but listed in the US. Have 2 divisions. Building supplies which is been doing very well recently. Protective gear for hospitals. He can see this doubling and it is still on his Buy list.

(A Top Pick Feb 16/12. Up 14.86%.) Health industry. Protective gear. Do well when there is a problem such as H1 N1 or SARS. Stock jumped recently because of flu fears. Also, do weather proofing for roofs. Management owns about 20%. Zero debt. Buying back stock now. Can see this one doubling from here.

3 times it has spiked because they are in the ‘danger’ area – the hospital business – SARS, H1N1, etc. They are also in the building supply business so if housing moves up they could benefit. It is a spiky kind of company.

Canadian company based just outside of Toronto. Clean, clean balance sheet. Money in the bank. Insiders own about 18% of the company. They thrive on disasters such as H1N1 Sars because they provide equipment such as gowns, shoes, head caps etc. About $40 million in sales and about $60 million in the last big scare. Generally make a little money every quarter. Has a target price of $3.49.
