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

Opinion about DR-T: Has pulled back a lot. It holds US medical property. It has suffered inflationary pressures, but will diminish in 2023 and the stock will recover. Don't sell it in the current Dutch auction.

Opinion about PSA-T: De-risking 40% of a portfolio at age 59. Likes the idea of PSA. TLT, he believes, is a leveraged play on the bond market and wouldn't do that. BNS high interest savings, for example, pays 4.75% for optionality and no risk. For an ETF filled with 1-year bonds that's very low risk, look…

Opinion about CMR-T: Stock vs. Stock. FIE-T vs. CMR-T. CMR-T is a money market fund. FIE-T is a multi holding income strategy holding all kinds of assets, so there will be more volatility. When markets are up go into CMR-T and FIE-T when they are down.

Opinion about HNU-T: He's not a commodity expert. PKI has leverage so it's volatile. You must be confident that the underlying commodity will move up. He's never seen anyone make money in this sector. You'd have to constantly watch oil prices to hold this.

Opinion about SSRM-T: One of the most senior producers of silver. Silver is better than gold, as the bulk of silver production comes from copper mines. Silver just crossed $24, and there's lots of upside. SSRM has a $28 price target. He wants something that will benefit once inflation is realized.

Opinion about TRI-T: Mission-critical information for legal, tax, and accounting professions. Not huge topline growth. Very strong recurring revenues. Always looks expensive, today PE is ~50x. You can get twice the same earnings yield in bonds and in the markets.

Opinion about HR.UN-T: Large apartment portfolio in US, as well as industrial. Selling down its office properties. As they get closer to that clean story, there should be some catalysts perhaps even this year. Dip in US building will give them an opportunity, especially in the Sunbelt. Fine on the financing side.

Opinion about ACR.UN-T: A portfolio of US properties. It also has some interesting properties around the DVP area in Toronto. The CEO is one of the few people that not only knows how to buy, but also how to sell. Thinks that at some point, he will sell the entire company if he can, or…

Opinion about FSZ-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research The $4B withdrawal is fairly serious, though FSZ does have $166B, and it continues a trend of some assets leaving the company (including money that earlier flowed out to Pinestone following Nadim Risk's departure in 2021). On the plus side, it is…

Opinion about KMP.UN-T: Very well managed. Company size is in the top 5. Originally focused on the Maritimes, which has seen a lot of population inflows. Expanding into other markets in Ontario such as Kitchener-Waterloo. Likes that they're experienced developers, always improving. Energy-efficient, new construction. Not facing high-rent pressures of others.

Opinion about SRU.UN-T: True that main tenant WMT typically doesn't have to pay large annual increases in rent, but it does attract other tenants and that's who pays the rent increases. Entering new leases with WMT as it expands. The very large parking lots can be converted to other uses. Great potential to collect the…

Opinion about LGO-T: One of the few companies in the world that's cashflow positive in the vanadium business. Worldwide growth in specialty steels. He keeps holding because he loves out-of-favour commodities.

Opinion about AQN-T: Fallen angel. Always looks cheap on any metric. Built with unique assets spread out around the US, so not really an attractive takeover target. Don't hold your breath on that hope. Still slightly capital-constrained to be able to go after growth opportunities. Will be range bound, limited upside. Use pops in the…

Opinion about GIL-T: With tariffs, could see the price of clothing go up. As Springsteen sang, textile jobs are not coming back to NA; clothes will still be imported. Impact on the clothing industry remains to be seen. Thinks prices will go higher, but people still need to get dressed. Onshoring will be a multi-year…

Opinion about GOOS-T: Good proxy for health of consumers in Canada. Luxury item that is discretionary. Hard to excited about this style of business. Not seeing major spending from average population. Better options for investors out there. 

Opinion about QBR.B-T: (A Top Pick Jan 23/24, Up 3%) Benefiting from the Freedom Mobile purchase. Able to expand in Ontario and Western Canada without deploying too much capex. Very high ROE and free cashflow, allowing them to lower debt and obtain investment-grade rating on bonds. Aggressively buying back shares. Best-performing telecom stock this year.

Opinion about RCI.B-T: Maybe tide is turning on competitive intensity in telecom sector, but not overwhelmingly obvious that's so. MLSE provides interesting optionality; hard to value sports franchises, but they are rather like collectibles such as race horses or art. In the meantime, he's taking the more conservative approach and focusing on dividend growth.His preference…

Opinion about AGF.B-T: Over the decades, they made poor acquisitions and should have accepted buy-out offers. It's now a shadow of itself, though is well run and generates cash. The only way to maximize value is to sell it (or raise the dividend each year).

Opinion about FFH-T: Wonderful company, his favourite in the group. Has owned in past, but not now due to valuation. Near record highs. P&C insurance is very defensive, so it draws crowds when people get panicky in the market and the price gets bid up. Wait for a better valuation.

Opinion about CUF.UN-T: Interesting transaction. Takeover at a discount, which is atypical and disappointing. Hard to assess this deal, not enough detail.

Opinion about HIVE-X: Longer double bottom from 2023 to 2025. If we are starting a new cycle, it will be positive for assets across the board. Bitcoin is traditionally more of a risk-on asset. Doesn't mind nibbling here, then add exposure as it shows it's a winner and worthy of adding more capital.

Opinion about AGZ-X: 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.

Opinion about CNX-X: (A Top Pick Nov 11/16. Down 39%.) Had a great initial discovery, but subsequent drilling results have not kept pace with initial drilling results. He likes the property and the people but sold his stock.

Opinion about CNX-X: (A Top Pick Nov 11/16. Down 39%.) Had a great initial discovery, but subsequent drilling results have not kept pace with initial drilling results. He likes the property and the people but sold his stock.

Opinion about GSR-X: Newmont took a position last year and surprised many at PDAC. Newmont is doing a joint venture on Goldstrike's Plateau property in the Yukon at a 90+% premium. Newmont is active and keen.

Opinion about LYD-T: Too much political risk. Too much financing risk. Nice deposit.

Opinion about NML-T: Iron ore developers and companies have all done very badly. Doesn’t see a lot of upside in the short term for iron ore because there are still quite a few projects coming on and the Chinese steel demand is looking pretty stagnant.

Opinion about PG-T: Hold until sale to Equinox, or buy more? He holds both to benefit from long-term effects of inflation. He thinks the takeout is great. EQX is well run, a buy, with a $12 price target.

Opinion about RRI-X: The ``prospect generator`` business model to him is the only part of the exploration sector that makes any mathematical sense. He is a very large shareholder of this company, and has an extremely high regard for management.

Opinion about SJ-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research EPS of 93c beat estimates of 71c; revenue of $730M beat estimates of $693M. EBITDA of $115M beat estimates by 6%. Sales rose 6.1% but EBITDA fell 4.2%. Railway ties showed strength, up 17%. Guidance was affirmed. Commentary was much more positive…

Opinion about SSV-X: 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.

Opinion about SXP-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research EPS of 9c missed estimates of 17.5c; revenue of $72M missed estimates by 2%. EBITDA missed by 11%. SXP is down significantly over the last twelve months by ~42% and recent earnings pointed towards declining profits and revenues. Revenue fell $6M. Earnings…

Opinion about USA-T: Junior speculative. Not profitable. At the price for gold and silver today, if a company's not profitable you have to ask why. He doesn't play penny stocks, and certainly not in the junior mining area. A very challenging asset class; he learned his lesson 35 years ago.

Opinion about BB-T: They provide back-end software in hundreds of millions of cars, plus they have a strong cybersecurity business. They aren't growing that quickly. Trading at 30x PE. Still not super cheap.

Opinion about BRY-T: 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…

Opinion about GPS-T: Uses their GPS system to figure out where trains are, and to more accurately schedule trains and service vehicles for people working on the rails. Reported on Aug 14 and earnings were down 10%. That was against a 32% increase in sales. In the coming quarter, earnings are expected to be down…

Opinion about PHO-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Smaller, cyclical company. Rolling out new products. Share buyback potential. Fortunes tied to semiconductor industry.

Opinion about VGO-CN: (A Top Pick May 20/15. Down 93.21%.) The company had some technology that allowed for compliance and payment processing technology. They started in the Bitcoin area, which didn’t work out very well. They then moved on to high risk areas, which would be considered gaming. Recently announced a strategic review of the…

Opinion about BBI-X: BBI-X is the old ticker. The merger involves a 10 for 1 split. PIPE-X shows a couple of weeks of trading and that is what to go by. They are coming on with new production facilities soon. By the end of the year, they will go to 10 times that. He thinks…

Opinion about BNE-T: Their debt has always been an issue. Trading at in-line levels for their multiple. Does not check his boxes in his fund.

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.

Opinion about LXE-X: They're in northeast BC where Tourmaline is consolidating land and assets, near LXE. So, LXE will become topical. LXE has reached an inflection point after acquiring a lot of land and pushed the Montney play to the northeast. Now, they need a lot of capital to move to full development. They're talking…

Opinion about PSD-T: A small cap. Can't buy it because there's not enough volume for him to analyse. It's breaking down after holding up during market problems. If it holds above $3, that's great, but it may decline below $2.80. It's starting to come down. Be careful here. Next support level is $2.60 which is…

Opinion about SDX-LN: (A Top Pick Aug 13/18, Down 61%) They disenfranchised the Canadian shareholders. He sold out sooner before the de listing, so did not do as badly, nor did his subscribers. He disagrees with their move.

Opinion about SPB-T: Dividend wasn't sustainable, got cut. Game-changer for him, as now this name offered value (instead of income). Analysts are now starting to reward that decision. Very good footprint feeding into long-term energy demand.

Opinion about BPF.UN-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Debt becoming a concern. Delivery and take-out only sources of sales. Special dividend paid this quarter. Dividend reinstated at a lower rate.

Opinion about CGX-T: It was a darling, a great business years ago that generated tons of free cash flow. He once owned it. Then, it was supposed to be bought, but bad luck saw Covid hit and the deal died. Great management and still a good business that generates cash, but times have changed--there are…

Opinion about CLIQ-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. No longer backed by Aurora. Multiple attempts to redesign stores. Multiple products sold at steep discounts. Deteriorating margins.

Opinion about DBO-T: A disappointment. Pandemic has been the nail in the coffin for movie theatres and DBO's motion systems. Simulation and industrial segments have been profitable. Treading water right now. Long road ahead. Wait and see before stepping in.

Opinion about DII.B-T: It's never done anything and has disappointed shareholders. He owned shares 10 years and sold it because he got fed up with its lack of progress.

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.

Opinion about RET.A-T: Owned it a few years. He sees big upside. They have $120 million in cash and zero debt, trading at negative enterprise value. They already own their own warehouse and office building. It's a profitable business based on a value brand. They are doing well, selling quality clothes. The issue is how…

Opinion about ROOT-T: Interesting things happening. New CEO with marketing sophistication trying to transform a business that's struggled since the IPO. Pretty good entry point. Strong brand. If you have the appetite for a small company, more speculative, good name to own.

Opinion about SOY-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research We think investors can wait. With a highly leveraged balance sheet, very weak momentum, economic concerns and a history of mixed results and losses, we do not think it is the type of stock to own in the current market environment, especially…

Opinion about Y-T: (A Top Pick Nov 22/18, Up 12%)Convertible 8% 2022 bonds He owned the Yellow senior bonds, but then moved into these convertibles. Most of their revenues are in digital, but that has struggled. New management has cut costs a lot until free cash flow now stands around $100 million this year. Their…

Opinion about CPD-T: Not interested at current pricing. Waiting for interest rates to rise. Not a good time to buy.

Opinion about DXP-T: (A Top Pick Apr 05/24, Up 15%) Incredible job outperforming the passive benchmark in the space. Be cautious -- can draw down by significant double digits if there's a selloff. Small position sizes only.

Opinion about HEU-T: HPB Energy Bull+ ETF. Immediate leverage to oil price moves. If you have a very good near-term bet that you want to make on oil this would be the way to go but if you are looking for an investment in the oil patch that has a long-term investment implications, then you…

Opinion about HFP.A-T: 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…

Opinion about HND-T: Inverse and directional ETFs are okay for short term exposure is okay. No issues for holding a matter of weeks. Usually, it turns into a long term hold and then it becomes a problem. Not for long term trading. If you have a short term view that natural gas will go up,…

Opinion about HPR-T: Preferred share market is risky - not a good place for average investor.Not much upside with lots of downside risk.Income oriented investors have better options.Canadian Dividend Index a better product. 

Opinion about XEB-T: Banks. What is next: Likes XEB-T, the equal weight ETF for the banks. You are seeing lower lows and lower highs. He wonders why we would go down and test the lows of last February. It would be bank earnings, which we won’t see for 3 to 4 weeks. Expects numbers to…

Opinion about XEG-T: He's relatively positive on Canadian energy, with some caveats. Oil stocks have been near the bottom of a trading range, whereas the gas stocks have done OK. More probability of upside in gas over the next couple of years. Yet there might be opportunity in oil stocks.This ETF is probably more biased…

Opinion about ZPR-T: A preferred share ETF This is one consideration, but he has his own preferred ETF within his company, so he doesn't use others. Check to see if the ETF's exposure and tax implication suits you.

Opinion about EXE-T: Focused on LTC in Ontario, also a home healthcare business just in Ontario (which forms 50% of the business). No longer in retirement homes. If you own it, you've done well; continue to hold and collect the yield now south of 4%. If you have strong view of the home healthcare business,…

Opinion about HVT-X: There is so much concern on quality of earnings and when the companies will be profitable. He wants to see the industry mature. He likes it long term. The health side of this could be revolutionary over the next couple of decades.

Opinion about PEO-X: (A Top Pick Apr 24/18, Up 21%) Organic growth is 9-11% annually for the least few years, excluding acquisitions. Impressive. They just had a great quarter. They're doing the right things and setting themselves up to be the premiere benefits company.
