COMMENT	Loblaw Companies Ltd(L-T) February 25, 2019 As a recession approaches, what sectors should an investor sell?

DON'T BUY	Loblaw Companies Ltd(L-T) January 7, 2019 Has been out of grocery for a couple of years. Low margins. Most people go to Costco. There are so many pressures like e-commerce, competition, inflation. Have to get so many things right, and so little wiggle room. He's not a fan of buying back stock, companies need to buckle down and innovate. Great assets, but he's not interested at all. food stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Has been out of grocery for a couple of years. Low margins. Most people go to Costco.

DON'T BUY	Loblaw Companies Ltd(L-T) December 31, 2018 He fears that the grocery sector will get disrupted. Not optimistic. Loblaw has spent so much on beautifying their stores, but failed to earn a sales increase from consumers.

BUY	Loblaw Companies Ltd(L-T) December 4, 2018 Threatened by online shopping? He likes it, because it dominates grocers in Canada with good real estate. It's a little vulnerable to online shopping, but grocers like Loblaw won't be affected much. Also, Loblaw has click-and-collect e-shopping where a customer orders groceries online then picks them up. He expects double-digit earnings growth after Loblaw absorbs minimum wage hikes and provincial drug reform and inflation from transportation costs. He'd buy it here. food stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Threatened by online shopping? He likes it, because it dominates grocers in Canada with good real estate.

COMMENT	Loblaw Companies Ltd(L-T) November 19, 2018 Choice REIT and relationship with Loblaw A year ago, Loblaw spun their real estate into a REIT, because real estate assets garners higher valuations than grocery stores to allow investors to buy the grocery side alone or the real estate that underlines the grocery stores. Canadian Tire did the same thing. He owns no grocers; there's too much competition. food stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Choice REIT and relationship with Loblaw A year ago, Loblaw spun their real estate into a REIT, because real estate assets garners higher valuations than grocery stores to allow investors to buy the grocery side alone or the real estate that underlines the grocery stores.

DON'T BUY	Loblaw Companies Ltd(L-T) November 6, 2018 Recommended it a few years, because he thought the Shoppers Drug Mart deal would be a catalyst. But he sold his shares last year. It's hard to turn around a big company, and this has been turning for a while. They haven't found the magic formula yet and the stock has been flat. food stores 0 0 1 0 0 0 comments	Recommended it a few years, because he thought the Shoppers Drug Mart deal would be a catalyst.

COMMENT	Loblaw Companies Ltd(L-T) November 5, 2018 Loblaw last week booted out its REIT and the stock went down, but not as much as some may think. It has strong upside potential, but has long gone sideways. Eventually, the market will get tired of this sideways movement and let it fall. The company is well-run. food stores 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Loblaw last week booted out its REIT and the stock went down, but not as much as some may think.

DON'T BUY	Loblaw Companies Ltd(L-T) October 5, 2018 Avoid this sector. Competitive, paper-thin margins. Other sectors pay better dividends and have less volatility.

TOP PICK	Loblaw Companies Ltd(L-T) August 1, 2018 This is a recent addition to their portfolio. Loblaw runs some dominant banners in both grocery retailing and pharmacy. Have accelerated their organic growth with the purchase of Shoppers Drugmart. They have gained market share and shown margin improvement. We like what they are doing operationally and financially. Stock is trading at 14X earnings. The value of growth and consistency in this name is exceptional.
