BUY

Finning Int(FTT.TO)

Dec 16, 2004
A currency hedge as a lot of revenues are from outside of North America. A lot of their equipment is in South America, one of the fastest growing mining segments in the world. A conservative way to get exposure to Westport. Spending a lot of time and energy in England trying to get their rental business back on track. Good long term buy.

Symantec Corp(SYMC)

One of the better technology companies. The dip in price because of the recent merger is a buying opportunity. A good long term story and good management.

Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)

Dec 16, 2004
Their chips are very good and giving Intel a run for their money. An increasing commoditized market. Very difficult to grow the margins and these will come under more pressure as it migrates more and more towards Asia. Becoming a very unattractive sector.

Gold companies are a play on the US$ at this time. If you buy, it might as well be one with good resources and has a history of making money. Would rather buy this than a junior explorer.

Likes to buy companies that make money and this one doesn't. The prospects of them making money seems to be cloudy. Doesn't see any visibility of earnings.

Looking a little pricey. The problem they face is that there will be more global supply coming on in 2006. It's possible methane prices will start to fall in 2005. Take some profit now.

Biggest problem with the drugs has to do with the litigation problems in the US. George Bush has asked Congress to drastically reduce the awards. If successful, it will be a huge win for drug companies.
