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

$300 million in cash and less than 9 times earnings. They just can’t get any love. It had a bit better execution in terms of earnings and they could get recognized. They buy back stocks. Leverage on their operations is quite high and it has not performed yet. (Analysts’ target: $14.87).

It's been a tough performer the past year, compounded in the last month. They had a satellite crash and lost on those contracted revenues--to add to their woes. They carry a lot of debt. It'll be a long road for them. They face competitors, too.

Their unique cameras will be transported up on the Soyuz spaceship.

A land developer primarily in Alberta. They accumulate land and turn it into residential properties. A different way of playing the oil space in Alberta. Warning! One fund is about to be wound up so there will be a big block of this coming out one of these days.

(Real estate lending) Getting equity like returns with a debt like structure. Have positive earnings per share now and just recently did a financing to build up their loan book. Down the road it is going to be a great little company. The people behind it are very well-heeled and probably are looking at this…

A controversial call, because somebody downgraded it recently, which took the stock down a little. The yield is good and he likes management. A pristine balance sheet. Real estate is a laggard area, and he expects that part of the market to improve. Next 2 quarters are probably not going to be great and he…

Pretty volatile. Should continue higher after the correction. It could really accelerate if it moves over 16 dollars.

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.

Pretty volatile. Should continue higher after the correction. It could really accelerate if it moves over 16 dollars.

Has just recently been released so he doesn't own yet. Has senior loans that are fairly high in order of ranking. They have the ability to reset, which is really important. Because of the reset feature and being diversified and having a number of names, it will probably work well. Reset allows it to do…

For a 2-3 year hold in an RRSP? This was launched 4-6 months ago and has been fairly well received, but the performance, as you might imagine, has been middling. All income investing in Canada is a reverse beauty contest. You are just trying to be the least ugly. In this environment where rates are…

ZPH-T or ZPW-T? He likes them both. When he thinks the CDN$ is going to get weaker, $.02, $.03, $.04, he wants ZPW. When he thinks the Cdn$ may get stronger, then he wants this one and wants to hedge the currency risk.

When the rare earth bubble took off, they deployed the drills into the area and found substantial rare earth deposits. It has a meaningful heavy component to it, but the commodity price is back down again. Once China shuts down illegal mining, you will see the price of rare earths coming back up.

Steel manufacturing. Play on infrastructure in Western Canada. Has done a great job over the past 18 months amassing capacity. Has about 420,000 ft.² in Western Canada. An area where he sees growth leading up to the Olympics in 2010. Have some large projects that the market doesn't know about. First 9 months did $80…

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…

Base metals, primarily in countries that he wouldn’t necessarily take vacations in. Higher risk environments, but from that you get higher returns. He prefers more stable jurisdictions. The company has decent assets that are generating cash flow. Also, they got $1 billion in cash on a recent deal which gives them some flexibility.

It is 67% cash. We saw a crack on the price of gold – we cracked the line of resistance. Seasonal strength is end of July to end of October. We see early signs of producers outperforming the commodity. It is a play on volatility, which is seasonal this time of year. The Indian tax…

Agricultural company focused in Brazil. Has a phosphate deposit, which is expected to come Into production over the next few years. Also looking at other opportunities. Brazil is going to have to import fertilizer, so there is a cost advantage of producing in Brazil.

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

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.

The only other publicly traded company other than ADW.A-T in wine. Legislation in Ontario allows wine to be sold in grocery stores. This is going to grow significantly. But DWS-X also sells most of their production to a Chinese exporter. It has higher growth potential than Brick Brewing (BRB-T). (Analysts’ target: $0.40).

He has owned it in the past. He was hoping when the Canada-US-Mexico auto parts tariff issues worked out they would benefit. However, earnings growth continues to be challenged at the moment. Better opportunity elsewhere. Yield 1%

(A Top Pick March 1/18 - Up 10.1%.) Part of their private equity exposure. Management team is really strong. They do very unique things all over the world. You can consider this a long-term holding. Well funded. Well capitalized.

They are going to have a lot of catalysts between now and Q1 2018 on their drugs and some of their trials. He sold it higher up for technical reasons. He would hold onto it because of the catalysts.
