(A Top Pick Dec 09/19, Up 30%) Still likes this long-term, but he's now focused on U.S. weed names. He prefers other names.
(A Top Pick Dec 09/19, Up 191%) They make renewable natural gas: They take methane gas from garbage dumps, feed lots and other sources and turn that into natural gas that's shipped through a pipeline. They do this worldwide, building and designing these facilities. He sees strong tailwinds here for the next decade as governments demand more natural gas to be renewable. Example: California wants 10% of nat gas by 2030 to be green vs. 0.5% now. XBC's technology leads the world. He continues to buy this.
(A Top Pick Dec 09/19, Up 129%) Hasn't been a smooth ride, especially last spring, but they continue to make restaurants more effecient, and they take over geographic areas methodically. They are also expanding beyond restos.
We're seeing a big sector rotation into energy. TVE has a strong ESG focus as well as cash flow. (ESG is a growing movement.) They use a methof of flooding a field to enhance the sustainability quotient in drilling at oil wells. (Analysts’ price target is $1.54)
Not the faster-grower or sexiest business, but they raised money this year to buy companies. Last week, they made an acquisition in Australia, which unleashed a huge rally. They'll continue to make acquisitions, particularly in Commonwealth countries for their better tax situations. These buys will produce synergy by cross-selling to new and existing customers alike. (Analysts’ price target is $37.13)

They focus in Arizona in cannabis, and last month AZ voted to legalize weed, including recreational. There, it's a fast-growing market in medical weed, and he expects that acceleration in rec as well. They're expanding across other states. They're profitable now, which is rare in this sector. Will likely be a take-out target. He just entered this name. It's kind of under the radar.

Wish he had owned this before last week's earnings which were a huge surprise, including big revenue and EBITDA beats. It's in a competitive space, but they're building themselves a niche. The multiple is cheap and the trend is their friend. This can rise higher.

The psychedelic space is coming to the forefront for investors who ses this as Cannabis 3.0, but these are not recreational products. Rather, the breakthroughs are coming in medicine to treat PTSD, addictions and anxiety, areas showing promise through psychs. Such companies are building a pharmaceutical platform (drugs to sell to patients). Big pharma isn't in this space yet, but will change over time. He prefers other companies to MMED in this space, but he isn't holding much in this sector yet.

Big tech stocks are overbought, but other sectors have started to rise, sectors that have been dormant, so this is a good sign. This buying is driven by FOMO, though the economic realities don't line up stock prices. Stimulus has also encouraged buying, but economic data looks encouraging. He's looking for companies that can grow earnings in a period like this. Home improvement and recreation (i.e. skidoos) have been higher than in years.

Wellness drives CBD demand and there's more competition entering this space. The CBD market continues to expand into drinks and food. He used to own this, but sees better opportunities. But CWEB is one of the U.S. leaders in this crowded space, so it's okay. You want to be in this space.

Over time, people will travel again, though certainly not right now. AC is burning through cash because of few passengers. Buying this depends on your time frame. If you're long term, now is an attractive entry point. As improvements in vaccines and treatments accelerate, then we will see airline stocks bounce back even before airline travel numbers rise, as investors anticipate that bounce back. Don't expect quick returns here. You need to give the entire airline industry time to recover.

This will be challenged short term as fewer people ride buses. The recovery will be slow, not sudden. Consider the slow migration out of big cities into rural or suburban areas. If you have a 3-5 year time horizon, then consider this. NFI is well-managed and was doing well before COVID though it had problems with their distribution centre.

He prefers CIBC or RY (capital markets are driving stronger revenue), and he isn't looking at BNS. He has little exposure to financial services. However, banks are showing improving technical signals, like attractive valuations and starting to approach previous highs. BNS has exposure to Latin America, which is another headwind.

(A Top Pick Aug 09/19, Up 231%) A market darling centering around a gold operation in Papua New Guinea. The gold tailwind hasn't hurt. KNT was already gaining investor attention before this gold rally. He sees more upside here, so he's holding onto this. Also, this could be taken out down the line.

(A Top Pick Aug 09/19, Up 10%) A cannabis company in Nevada. Like Indus, they cleaned up their situation and are turning around. They bought a large dispensary in Nevada near Reno. An overhang was owing the vendor a lot of money, but that vendor has become the new CEO has fixed that debt. CXXI is now cash-flow positive. Down the road, they will do more acquisitions.

A US company that's consolidating in the medical market (home lifts, ventilators, oxygen, etc.). He continues to like it. It was a past pick and since they made an acquisition. The stock has increased, though not as much as he expected. He predicts the valuation will be pretty attractive. This could be a takeover target and it's firing on all cylinders.
