(A Top Pick Jun 04/19, Down 17%) He would still stick with US banks. Their results were not a high surprise to markets. He likes it because it is like a bank conglomerate. There may be issues around the dividend but it is a high quality holding. He continues to hold it.
(A Top Pick Jun 04/19, Up 6%) They tried to get a common share spin out for those that don’t like limited partnerships. They run this really well and he likes that they take positions in infrastructure projects of less than 100% usually and in projects that need a little help. They develop the project and then sell it off. He continues to hold it.

Spending levels are lower but the lack of keenness on physical cash will drive electronic payments that much more quickly into the future. The move to the cashless society will be accelerated by this crisis. It has a high multiple but longer term they will benefit from a more-online society. (Analysts’ price target is $199.71)
They will benefit from what is going on right now. Their shift to cloud based computing should be accelerated by the crisis. (Analysts’ price target is $189.50)

Market. There is a real risk of weakness in the markets in the weeks ahead. He is taking a longer approach and thinks he is seeing that in some of the economic numbers. Jobless numbers are still fairly high. 15% of our economy comes from housing in Canada. The number of mortgage deferrals is very high. Canada poses a risk on the housing side.

You'll start to see some tougher numbers come out of the Canadian banks due to mortgage deferrals. He thinks TD-T is in as good a position as the Canadian banks can be. You are going to see some raising provisions for loan losses. He does not think their payout ratio will go above about 65%. They are number 1 or number 2 in terms of the big 5.

It had a pretty dramatic drop from where the stock was. You are seeing some delays in funeral services taking place. Their expansion into the US is very positive. He thinks they are in good shape once we get back to having gatherings. They can withstand any downturn from a financial point of view.

Everything with Brookfield always comes to the top. Fundamentally they are an asset management company. When assets go down, their fees go down, but there is a delay. This might have caused short interest to go up. He thinks they will grow assets well in this environment as they look for distressed assets. It's a high quality company and they are seasoned operators.

It was in good shape before this crisis. There is no point in businesses advertizing when they are closed, so revenues from advertizing could go down but people will spend more time on Facebook when locked down so exposure should go up. Watch the valuations and how they move into the election due to allegations of false news on their platform.

The dramatic price decline was caused by reduced demand and lower commodity prices in Canada. Even with take or pay contracts they need healthy customers. He thinks they will be able to weather the storm, however.

This is not one you want to cherry pick. He does not think the government will give anything to the airlines without taking something in exchange, like warrants. Equity shareholders could get diluted down. He would not try to make a quick buck out of it. He thinks travel will be one of the slowest businesses to come out of this crisis.

The OTIS side is intriguing as there are only two elevator installation and repair companies around. There are going to be ups and down with industrial companies for a while.

You have the insurance side and the investment side. The latter is going to be very challenging for insurance companies because of where interest rates are. Watch the investment side closely. The insurance side is doing quite well.

He likes it if you want that international exposure. It will be more volatile than JPM-N or BAC-N because of that exposure. You can get paid very well in markets outside of the US but they carry higher levels of risk.

BEI.UN-T, MI.UN-T and CAR.UN-T. REITs are an interesting universe right now. There is mortgage deferral relief, commercial rent relief. Residential is the best place to be right now. CAR.UN-T would be the best one. BEI.UN-T has a good component out west with potential risk for Alberta. People are going to need places to live and if they can't pay their mortgages then they will have to rent.
