Hudson Bay Co (HBC-T)

Hudson Bay Co. (HBC-T) — Stockchase
Hudson Bay Co. (HBC-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about HBC-T: Nicknames it Hit By A Car like its chart. HBC is all about its real estate holdings; that's the reason you own this. Doesn't know if the current rally signals a buy. Can't predict this chart. Even consider selling it.

Dollarama Inc. (DOL-T) — Stockchase
Dollarama Inc. (DOL-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about DOL-T: In his firm's Canadian dividend growth strategy portfolio. Not a great dividend, though it does grow. Focused more on inorganic growth and share buybacks. Almost AMZN-proof, scale gives them buying power. In Canada, topline is growing close to 10%, margins are improving. Trades at over 40x next year's earnings, so wise to…

Baytex Energy Corp (BTE-T) — Stockchase
Baytex Energy Corp (BTE-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about BTE-T: (A Top Pick May 23/24, Down 48%) It's down because of the fall in oil prices, pure and simple. He sold this around $4. The stock will excel if oil returns to $70+, but not at $60. He will revisit this at better oil prices later.

Surge Energy Inc (SGY-T)

Surge Energy Inc (SGY-T) — Stockchase
Surge Energy Inc (SGY-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about SGY-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research SGY is quite small at $510M, but the stock is very cheap.

Crescent Point Energy Corp (CPG-T)

Crescent Point Energy Corp (CPG-T) — Stockchase
Crescent Point Energy Corp (CPG-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about CPG-T: Great company. Looking at the chart, big wall of resistance it just couldn't get through. Then it broke out. If you own it, hold. If it pulls back to the neckline, he'd be all over it.

TC Energy (TRP-T) — Stockchase
TC Energy (TRP-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about TRP-T: He owned it for a while. Had a big run-up last year but thinks it is pretty much done now with a lot of insider selling. Tends to have big swings.

Enbridge (ENB-T)

Enbridge (ENB-T) — Stockchase
Enbridge (ENB-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about ENB-T: Does fluctuate a bit with the price of oil, but not as much as a producer. Attractive income name. Federal government's infrastructure plan would be positive for pipelines, albeit a few years away. Yield is close to 6%, and the dividend increases every year.

Brookfield Asset Management Inc (A) (BAM.A-T) — Stockchase
Brookfield Asset Management Inc (A) (BAM.A-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about BAM.A-T: You could buy this but it would be better to buy the parent company, Brookfield Corporation (BN) instead, for a long term hold and outlook.

Telus Corp (T-T)

Telus Corp (T-T) — Stockchase
Telus Corp (T-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about T-T: Right now, she has no exposure to the sector. Very competitive. Decrease in immigration takes away source of potential growth. They all provide a pretty attractive yield.

BCE Inc (BCE-T)

BCE Inc. (BCE-T) — Stockchase
BCE Inc. (BCE-T) — Stockchase
