Does not know what the business does - despite stock recommendation. 
Investment based on technical analysis. 
Very strong resistant point.
Likes the look of chart. 
If stock breaks neck line - will sell.

It is another owner operated business and puts good thought into the acquisitions it makes. It is building a national business in restoration which gives it significant more upside.

Great Canadian company. California Closets, College Pro Painters are some of their brands. The other business is the property management business. Stock trades at 28 times earnings but it is a very capital light business with no fixed assets. Generate very high free cash flows. They can grow. Very good exposure to the US. (Analysts’ price target is $94.75)

This focuses on property management for condos and other multifamily units. It also has a brands division, owning California Closets and Paul Davis Restoration. The exciting part is the property management. 95% of all condos are run by themselves, and there is a big opportunity to outsource to companies like this. Feels that in 5 years this could be a double. Dividend yield of 0.7%. (Analysts' price target is $69.)

(A Top Pick Oct 24/14. Up 82.49%.) When he first recommended this, it was one business. They recently split and it now also does property management. A great little business that he thinks is going to continue to chug along.

(A Top Pick Oct 24/14. Up 71.57%.) They split up their real estate division from their residential services division. This is a great rollup type strategy that is in a very stable and growing business. He likes both companies and continues to hold both of them.

(Top Pick Oct 24/14, Up 53.79%) He did not predict the spin out. He felt they would continue to grow by acquisition. It is even better now. It was a great way for them to create value. He holds both companies now.

(A Top Pick Sept 12/14. Up 37%.) Split into 2 companies at the beginning of June and he continues to hold both. Both of them are growing by acquisition.
