Stock Opinions by Jackee Pratt

DON'T BUY
A good resource play. Good conglomorate giving morfe downturn protection, but can limit your upside. Would prefer an Alcan or Inco. Would buy in the mid $20's.
BUY
Auto sector accounts for a large portion of their revenue. One of the better managed steel companies in Canada. 3% yield.
TOP PICK
Well managed. Great track record of 15 to 20% earnings growth. Pays a dividend of 20/25% of earnings.
WEAK BUY
Has a lower return on equity than Great West or Manulife so prefers these.
BUY
Prefers over Sun Life. Greater growth potential.
WEAK BUY
Likes to value at about 4/5 X cash flow. Well managed. The CAPX for their Horizon project has increased substantially.
BUY
Has been treating as a trading stock. Sometimes the stock drops for no reason, so it creates a buying opportunity. Has been growing its earnings at 100% year over year.
BUY
Terra Nova oil spill was not a huge amount, so stock didn't take a big drop. Well managed.
TOP PICK

Likes the company, but they've had a pretty big run-up. Expensive now.
