New 52-Week Highs and Lows (Nov 14-20)

Got hurt. Margin compression. In US, it matters what can you get paid from Medicare. Missed numbers last 2 quarters, got clocked, now trying to get back onside. A “show me” stock. Stay away for at least another 6-12 months.

All this does is to invest in high interest deposit accounts. It is a constant steady stream of income. He hates recommending cash, but this is essentially a place to park your cash during the summer. You will at least get your 1% annual income.

For short-term investors such as money market types. Simple way to get broad, low cost diversified money market exposure.

Double leveraged fund. You only use it for short term holds. The seasonal period starts right now until the end of June, getting a return of 12% typically. We are starting to see some flatness in the chart now. HUN-T is not leveraged. There is less volatility.

(A Top Pick Jan 24/14. Down 11.04%.) He really likes this story. 80% of silver production comes from a by-product from copper mines and from mines that are really shutting down. Pure silver plays are rare. Located in Argentina which is probably why the price has been hurt a little more, but it hasn’t hurt…

Just pulled back because of near-term concerns on upcoming European regulations, but believes that will ultimately create a tailwind as clients need to adapt a system to manage these new regulations. Trading at a 4-year low. He models a 6% EPS growth. They have an active Buy-back. Good balance sheet. Dividend yield of 3.1%. (Analysts’…

At these levels the valuation looks attractive. The dividend is safe. They don’t have as high a dividend growth outlook as other REITs though. A good hold for a diversified portfolio.

Recent IPO that he did not participate in. He was concerned with some of the tenant concentration and, one building in particular, where there was a head lease on the building which meant that the occupancy and the rents were being guaranteed, even though they were operating at well below what the company considered normalized.…

They have been buying up money management companies. They have a big shareholder in National Bank (NA-T) when they bought out one of National’s businesses. What he doesn’t like is that they are thinking of buying wealth management companies similarly to the way they have been buying institutional money managers. Thinks this is a very,…

A really good growth name at a reasonable price. Has had a big run since January, but there is more to go. He models that it grows 10% annually for the next couple of years. That growth rate is much better than the sector average of around 4%, and yet this is trading at an…

Yes, it’s retail, but best in class. Trades at 15x earnings, which is cheap. Spectacular management. Anchors for Walmart, which is doing well against Amazons of the world. Aggressive development in Toronto. Best tenants and assets. Diversifying and creating more margin. Yield is 5.8%. (Analysts’ price target is $32.61.)

Yukon and Brazil. In production in Brazil. So beaten up due to it being a risk of trading time. Waiting for risk appetite to come back before buying.

It is a renewable energy company and utility that has had a remarkable run. It has been sought by dividend seekers for its dividend growth. The reason it has sold off is because they have become expensive and there is a rotation into more economically sensitive groups. If the Fed goes into a rate cutting…

He would be wary of this stock. They have had a pattern of disappointing earnings, and not likely out of the woods yet. There is political unrest in Nicaragua where they operate.

They have a done a good job of growing their footprint internationally. They got caught up in the Canada/China disputes. The issue is the high multiple. If demand changes the stock will get crushed. It is high risk / high reward. He would not go after this.

It started to roll over and get soft. $25.22 would be the support. We are at a 16 week low.

He likes it at current levels and would start to pick away at it. A good, long-term dividend play. It's not recession-proof; it's a discretionary consumer stock.

Market Call Minute. There is not a lot of earnings momentum on this, and they have to do a lot internally to get their business model going.

He owns a lot of their debt. But he'd rather invest in Warren Buffet than Prem Watsa. WB is a better buyer/investor overall.

Heartbreaking story. Haven’t been as aggressive on asset sales, balance sheet not great. Model negative growth of -3.8%. Sowing seeds for growth, and if that’s the case, you can own it here. Trading at 11.3x. Wouldn’t be his first go-to, but OK at these levels.

He has never invested in it. When the company was raising funds, it was doing so at sizable discounts, which caused some concern. He does not yet understand how this technology will play out, so they are sitting on the sidelines. He is not sure this company could be a long term sustainable crypto-miner. He…

High risk/high reward situation. If the drill bit does come through in the Lytham prospect in the North Sea, you could be over the old time highs.

He wants to caution people on this. It is a small-cap company, and he hates recommending small caps on BNN. It is an exploration company. They drilled a spectacular hole in Flin Flon Manitoba, which traditionally has been a good place for zinc VMS deposits. They have a wonderful, deep, geophysical whole, but now need…

So far he hasn't seen anything to make him buy the stock.

(A Top Pick Nov 2/10. Down 0.42%.) Gold deposit in Armenia with about 1.4 million ounces at just under a gram. They should resource out this month. This will be a very low cost, high margin deposit in the 2 million ounce range.

Iron ore in Labrador. Thinks the price of iron ore will go up between 30% and 50% this year. One of the few juniors that has a legitimate iron ore play.

A bit difficult to value when looking at their assets. Started off as a developer in Red Lake, and everybody speculated that Goldcorp (G-T) would acquire them. That hasn’t happened. The geology just didn’t work out the way the company had expected. The company has now gone and done a bunch of other stuff, and…

Project generator company, finds good early exploration projects and then has other companies come in to spend the high-risk dollars. Long term play with very solid, cost conscious management. Operating mostly in Mexico, but have a project in Arizona that has 1.2 million in historical ounces. The latter alone justifies its market cap.

A major utility pole manufacturer. Yes, the recent/current tough winter weather is a factor, but a bigger factor is the finite life of these poles, and most of them in North America are nearing the end. So, SJ could enjoy a ramp-up with more infrastructure spending.

The guys behind this have had great success in Mexico. They've had not bad results to date. Anything in the silver area is probably going to do well.

Manufactures highly specialized envelopes. 55% market share in Canada. Just made an acquisition. Very focused on reducing costs.

Likes it. Idaho. Sunshine mine is back in production and silver is going up and these guys are starting to make some serious money.

They are exposed to hot emerging areas: self-driving cars and the internet of things. It is also very well-run. He looks at this stock sometimes. On his radar.

They do oil/gas fluids. Profitable company and revenues are growing by leaps and bounds. They have a lot of debt and have taken on quite a bit of debt and have virtually no cash in the bank. Just did a $10 million raise and sold 6.6 million shares, which they needed to pay down some…

On his Watch List and he might be buying soon. The oil/gas seismic is part of their business, but they have had more of a growth in the trucking area where they have a solution for fleet management and tracking. This adds a lot of efficiencies.

A relatively small company that guided a little bit lower. The long term outlook is good and they just signed a term agreement within China. A good time to buy or add to your position here.

A compliance platform for bit coin processing. He sold. It is the only bit coin play that is publicly traded and so the valuation is way ahead of the fundamentals. He is skeptical of the concept.

In an environment where the appetite for energy is still nonexistent and large investors want only 1 or 2 names, this company is not going to hit the radar screen for some time to come. They have liquids rich exposure and gas exposure but there is still exploration risk on their acreage.

If you are a retiree and looking for income, this is a company that you definitely should look at. She has a lot of respect for the management team. Have done very well by investors historically. They are doing a rights offering to existing shareholders to bring some equity into the business, because they essentially…

People consider it to be very cheap. You aren’t getting per share growth because debt pay down is their priority. You need a rally in the commodity price. They will muddle along with their peers.

He is quite bearish on the broader markets, but the sentiment in the energy sector in Canada has been so negative that he thinks it is undervalued. They have no debt and has 900 prime low-cost Montney drilling locations with significant infrastructure and only about 10% of it is dry gas. CEO owns about 30%…

Has a higher volume compared to Kelman or Acis. The five-year average operating margin is 24%. Looks like it's moving sideways. Has had 10 consecutive quarters of positive earnings but starting to get a little flat.

(A Top Pick Nov. 9/17, Up 14%) It is also a Top Pick today.

Has a very small position in this. Great yield of 6%. The balance sheet is not a problem. Valuation is fine at 10X EBITDA. Missed on a recent quarter which is why the price momentum has rolled off. Probably not a terrible stock to own here.

There is fierce competition in the entire food sector.

It's been a rollercoaster, killed in Q4. but he's expected a big year in the cinemas in Q2 and Q3 with a lot of box office money to be made. Also, the Rec Rooms and selling wine and beer in all theatres are good diversifiers. CGX competes with home video streaming, though. CGX is priced…

Is this a buy over the next 1-2 years? He thinks the buy in by Aurora was interesting. Their existing business is going through transformation and they are working at trying to improve on or sell assets – especially in Alberta. He is on the fringe of wanting to own it.

Has always been skeptical about the D-Box technology. They have had some success in China of late, which is why he thinks the stock has popped.

They make bikes, baby furniture, baby equipment, car seats, etc. The family that is involved in it owns a significant stake. He sees better days ahead. It is trading at a reasonable valuation. Dividend yield of about 4%.

He thinks they have a lot of valuable real estate and have attempted to monetize it, but even as they have done this, the stock has not made any headway. The negative secular trend in retail is just too tough. If they can't get the retail business going then investors may start to question if…

Lost $16.5 million last quarter. A big part of that was that they source a lot of their goods in the US, and have to sell them in Canada. When the Cdn$ got killed, that cost them a lot of money. The Cdn$ is coming back to some degree which will help. This past quarter…

They recently completed their IPO. It struggle a bit out of the gate and has treaded water ever since. It is a fashion brand that has been out for long time. He does not see the growth here. There are a lot of better places to be in retail. Where is the expansion going to…

Sold his holdings as he felt the company wasn't sufficiently forthcoming. If you own, continue to hold for the long-term, three years. Fully priced.

A controversial stock and maybe one that people don’t pay much attention to anymore, because it fell on such hard times. Have been undergoing a major transformation of shifting from print to digital. More than 50% of their business is now digital. Trading at a very, very low valuation multiple. Some risk, but a lot…

This is not a Preferred Share Market. We are in the early stages of rising interest rates. Most preferred shares, with the exception of a lot of the bank preferred shares, are perpetual preferred shares and will do poorly in a rising interest rate market.

Why such a large correction? Preferred shares are a big part of this fund, and they took a hit because of higher interest rates.

Has been beaten up and you are getting double gearing to basket of producers. You are not taking single company risks.

He would rather have direct access to floating rates. In Canada there are very few original floating rate preferreds left. One of the highest quality is the Brookfield BAM Preferred B or Preferred K and generally they are in the market and trading 17, 18, so they are at a big discount to their par…

Natural Gas Bear+ ETF. Wouldn't be trading this but would use the Natural Gas Bull+ ETF instead. Natural gas chart shows a very long and steady decline but the recent increase looks quite good but thinks there is limited upside. You could have a short-term trade on natural gas from $4.50 to $5, which is…

The pain in the preferred share market was mostly the result of the huge number of Reset Preferreds that came onto the market within the last 5 years, so a lot of these preferreds did not reset their dividend for 5 years, and a lot of them did it this year because it was their…

New Launch. Always had it in the US, now in Canada. Hedged. About 5%. Investment grade bonds in emerging markets.

A bit tricky in that Suncor is a big part of it. If you really believe and want to invest in oil, particularly in Western Canada, the guys that are going to get the biggest kicks are the ones that have been hammered down. The boys out West have done a really good job in…

Will the rise in value of this ETF continue? The TD Bank and Bank of Montréal launched some structured products into the market that were linked to the payouts of the preferreds, and they were wildly successful. The demand for these preferreds went through the roof. He doesn’t think this is sustainable and he sold…

They are a leader in Canada, used to be in the US but pulled back. He bought it but it pulled back. He is getting a good return from the coupons. He thinks this one can double. They have more debt than he would like to see but the payout ratio is reasonable. It is…

He does not buy companies that have not been around for 10 years. He does not dip into Marijuana stocks. You need to look at management and look at their track record. Many of these companies are going to fail.

An employee benefits consulting company. It does not require a lot of capital. They have made some nice tuck in acquisitions. It is up 40-60%+ in the in the past year. He sees it as an acquisition target. It is thinly traded, but now more investors will start to pay attention to it because of…
