30 Stocks Top Picks (NOV 16-22)

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.

(A Top Pick Nov 16/18, Up 4%) Not liquid, but has held during the recent turbulence. He'd buy it today.

(A Top Pick Jun 18/18, Up 1%) Still likes it. It's well-run. They're growing their brands and they have a big opportunity to get into cannabis beverages which will be legal in Canada in October 2019. BRB is well-positioned for this and this market could be very large.

He got stopped out of this. It's well-run, but the casinos are closed so there's no revenue coming in. GC carries a reasonable amount of debt. Also, casinos have high operating expenses, even during this lockdown. He wants to see stability in their debt, though. In recessions, gambling performs well, though.

(A Top Pick Aug 27/20, Down 12%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We are choosing to remain disciplined and stick to our stop-loss at $35 and look for better alternatives. Now that key technical support has been breached it could try to retest lows near $25.

(A Top Pick Dec 19/19, Down 64%) It offers meaningful beta for increasing oil price. He thinks it will lag other names, especially since more and more investors favour MEG. He does not hold it.

Their balance sheet needs to be fixed, assets are scattered all over the world so operational focus is difficult. Their valuation is not compelling compared to other names. He has been a sell for years.

(A Top Pick Dec 19/19, Down 60%) It offers meaningful cashflow. They are treading water but have meaningful leverage to an increasing oil price. At $50, it will trade at 24% free cashflow yield, at $60. 60%. It could potentially amalgamate with other companies in the area.

It sells off whenever interest rates increase. It is attractive to own. A biden government should help with demand for Canadian oil.

Monopoly in Saskatchewan. Disappointing performance. Yield is sustainable. Conservative investment that lets you sleep at night. Not much growth. Not interested until he sees change in strategy from management.

(A Top Pick Nov 20/18, Up 10%) The more activity, the better they do. In all the major asset classes. Volumes were down, but now you're seeing more of a pickup.

The company hopes to increase the value by 10 fold in 20 years. On an annualized basis, it is a 12% return on investment. It is attainable for electronic payment companies. The industry only surpassed cash a couple years ago. Still a lot of growth. Currently trading at 39x earnings which is hefty.

A great company with good products and franchise. The valuation looks pricey at 30x earnings, with a 10% growth rate. Revenue growth looks less exciting when comparing to previous performance. In the future, he expects mid single-digit growth. There are other companies in the tech space that has better revenue growth and earnings.

Owns Microsoft and entered back in March. You are getting the cloud, entreprise and other businesses. Likes the diversification and growth expectation. You are paying a premium 31x earnings but revenue growth is low double digits which is very good. CRM, you pay higher multiples than Microsoft. Prefers MSFT.

They own Brookfield Infrastructure. The infrastructure stock has better valuation than the renewable energy fund. Brookfield renewable also faces too much money going into the sector.

They have huge trends on the bond market. It is a pretty good holding and a core for her.

They made a big acquisition and ran into trouble, but that now behind them. They've endured Covid this, but there's little stock appreciation ahead. Hold this to collect the dividend.

Juicy dividend, which grows steadily. Predictable business model. Today's results seem fine. Share price is overreacting. Some decline in monthly revenue. One to own for steady and growing income over time.
