BUY
In the waste/clean up part of oil/gas. More of a utility play rather than a growth one. The correction that's been taking place is in sympathy for falling oil prices. A good opportunity to buy. Good management.
BUY
A natural gas pipeline fund. For the conservative investor. Targeting yields are about 7% for next year. Interest rates would be the risk in this fund.
BUY
Have quite a lot of debt. On the other hand, the industry is very stable. A possible risk is if the Ontario government does something with clinics.
WEAK BUY
Has been a great trust with a lot of growth. Be cautious as oil/gas prices have sold off and the energy sector is pulling back. Also has a very low yield.
WEAK BUY
Last quarter's results were very disappointing and, ironically, just increased distributions before reporting. Only for aggressive investors. Yield of about 10.5%.
DON'T BUY
Believes they are paying out capital gains to fund a portion of their distributions. Caution.
DON'T BUY
40% of their distributable income is from the US and the strong move on the CD$ has hurt them. In a business that is highly competitive.
BUY
Very impressed with management. Have excess capacity in their system.
TRADE
Would be sensitive to interest rate hikes.
TRADE
The caution is if the rapid decline in oil/gas prices will flow into trusts.
TRADE
Has a running yield of about 11%. A utility. Virtually 80% its assets are in the US, so doesn't have the tax benefits of other trusts. A utility.
TOP PICK
If the markets are going to be a little dangerous and you want some stocks that are producing some income, this would be a core holding. Currency related in that their prime holdings are prime Australian and Asian bonds. 8.5% yield.
TOP PICK
A speculative pick. Has absorbed a lot of bad news lately and may have formed a base. Downside should be limited. (It also could end up taking years to form a base.) An accumulation play. Start accumulating.
TOP PICK
Top Short Has ongoing US problems. Uptrend has been broken. The small rally was only able to reach the uptrend line. If interest rates go up, it is going to have some problems.
BUY
The S&P 500 is in an area of major, major resistance going back to the 2002 highs and the 1998 highs. There is a chance it could get to 1,225/1250, but it would be kind of a blow off high. The 1250 area is the technical Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of the entire 2000 and 2002 drop which can sometimes be a flash target technical point for the market to try and get to. Long term US Treasury Bonds which is price inverse to yields. The bond market topped in June/03 followed by a sharp drop. Rallied in Mar/04 followed by another sharp drop. Now on its 3rd rally and appears to be forming a heads/shoulder top. Very dangerous as it shows 4 attempts to make higher prices/lower yields. Could indicate a major market crash.
