Stock Opinions by Bruce Hartman

TOP PICK

Bell Aliant(BA-T)

Jul 14, 2006
A great conservative, stable way to participate in the telephone industry. Yields about 8%. Conservative payout ratio of about 90%. Possible increased distributions in the next year or so because of surplus cash flow. Have some interesting acquisition opportunities.

Duke Energy Income Fund(DET.UN-T)

(A Top Pick Apr 28/06. Down 7%.) A good yield play. Has the potential to make acquisitions from their US parent that would be accretive with possible distribution increases.

Stephensons Rental Services(RNT.UN-T)

Jul 14, 2006
Ideal business trust has stability, lack of competition and a payout ratio below 100%. This one exhibits none of those characteristics. Their market is highly dependent on construction/contractors, so any slowdown in housing will hurt. Payout ratio is well over 100%. 18% yield indicates a possible cut.

Merging with Sequoia Oil & Gas Trust and will be known as Evergreen Energy Trust. It looked like a good deal at the beginning but terms have been changed because of production problems. That is disquieting.

Waste Connections(WCN-T)

Jul 14, 2006
Payout ratio is reasonable at 85%. Recession resistant business. Management has done a great job in acquiring/expanding landfill sites. Organic growth is good at around 6%. Made a big US acquisition and have integrated it extraordinarily well. Hedged their US currency exposure.

Canexus Corp(CUS-T)

Apr 28, 2006
Has been hit when a number of pulp/paper mills have been shut down as they have been the supplier of sodium chlorate. Their big advantage is electricity costs. The price of sodium chlorate has remained relatively firm. There is a huge overhang because of the 61% ownership by Nexun.

Contract for printing lottery tickets for New York State will terminate in June. Hoping to replace it with a contract with Ontario. Have been very creative in developing new lottery type products. Competition is two large US companies so there are political concerns.
