This week’s new 52-week lows… (Jan 2-8)

(A Top Pick Feb 16/18, Down 9%) This technology company makes things for other manufacturers like routers for Cisco. Earnings growth is looking better he thinks. The stock looks oversold so he is staying with it. (Norman Levine)

He owned it a year ago and got stopped out. It was not going in the correct direction. There has been bad news in the mean time. Unless you are going to trade it then let it form a base (Rick Stuchberry)

Cameras on satellites. Feels they’ve made a lot of progress in the right direction. Management is working hard and there is now more clarity. We may see some positive free cash flow one day. At this point, it is starting to become interesting, although clearly there are still a lot of unclear questions. (Andrey Omelchak)

Prefers Melcor Developments (MRD-T). When there have been housing difficulty like there has been, it’s extremely difficult for stocks like these. (Michael Smedley)

They had a project where they had lent out some money to the big Urban Corp. real estate company, which defaulted on their loans. Fortunately, the loan was secured by some real estate. Terra Firma just announced getting full repayment of the principal plus interest for that property. Now it will be a function to…

REITs have performed pretty well here. This is going to be a choppy period. It is a safe haven for portfolio managers to hide in. He prefers others such as AP.UN-T or REI.UN-T. (Javed Mirza)

(A Top Pick Feb 16/18, Down 23%) The biggest drop was the summer through to today when we normally have an uptick. It will probably have a pretty big catch up. A year out investors will be quite happy they stuck with it. (Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI)

A Levearge ETF.  He advised to steer clear of these kinds of investment.  They are trading vehicles the are intended to be watched daily. D (Daniel Straus)

First Trust has a good operation. Has looked at the Senior Loan ETF, more in the US, and has tended to stay away from them. There is not enough pick up in yields in past corporates. Worries about the underlying illiquidity of the asset class. (Terry Shaunessy)

He doesn’t know this, but assumes it is an actively managed bond fund. If so, the question you are going to have is the duration of the bond fund at any given time. You can usually get that information from the people who market this ETF. If you have a duration of 10, then you…

It contains some of the best quality companies in the US.  BMO write puts 15-20% below the market price.  They generate additional income from the puts.  Every month if the markets don’t fall to those prices, then they harvest the income on those puts.  BMO does not want to own the stocks so if necessary…

 This company has been around for 20 years on the Venture exchange.  It has no revenues and has a couple of properties, one in Quebec and the other in BC.  I questions how many investors have made money on this.  He has no interest in this one.  (Benj Gallander)

He covers the stock and owns it.  The business is doing well.  They are a leader in their space.  There was a big investor out of China that fell on hard times and has had to sell shares.  It may be poised for a turnaround. (Fabrice Taylor)

A lot of people are down on this name including Rio Tinto who is the driver of this story with 50%.  The Mongolian government is threatening higher royalties and taxes.  These are some of the risks of foreign jurisdictions.  But he thinks all of the bad news is in the name.  Don’t sell.  Wait for…

They've put their troubles behind them. Can't predict their near future, but in a year or two there could be a tailwind for commodity prices. They are getting earnings from some of their earnings now which is reducing their debt. (Chris Stuchberry)

It's range-trader. During flight-to-safety periods (as he expects in the next few years when market become unglued), gold will shine again with a good rally. He's added to his position. GDX is US-listed gold miners. Gold stocks vs. gold price are 35-year lows, and gold stock vs. the S&P 500 are as cheap pre-Recesssion (2005-6).…

(A Top Pick May 15/18, Down 61%) A small-cap. They did some interesting deals that he liked, including a big phosphate mine off Agrium before their merger--the stock did well for a while. But their Brazil plant ran into trouble. If it is fixed, then it'll be fine.. It's a small-cap with a good balance…

He is a geological advisor to them.  Consulted on a project in Italy, but it was not what he thought it would be. (Brent Cook)

Has an old mine outside of Los Angeles that was run in the 1930s. Closed down during the Second World War and they are doing open pit mining in the area. Has some issues, but at these gold prices, it will probably start to work again. Under followed. Highly speculative. (Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA)

(A Top Pick Dec 11/17, Down 29%) China had a bit too much inventory on hand. There was a poor crop about two or three years ago. Many Ontario companies had to de-list from the LCBO and it takes time to get re-listed, but they now have a number of products back on the shelves.…

He owned this for a while, but was never a long term investor. When the Free Trade Agreement was redone he was hoping for a rebound. When the stock actually went down, he sold out. The US President was not expected to put extra tariffs on Canadian parts. The company is excellent and the long…

This is a core holding for him and it is a strong buy. As a spin-off of Brookfield Asset Management, the goal of the company is to re-invest capital and rotate it into high yielding opportunities – it pays very little dividend. (Steven Ko)

The big challenge is getting their product to market. They have most of the cash they need into 2020, which should buy them enought time. He is watching to see how revenues ramp up next year. (Bruce Campbell (2))
