DON'T BUY
Just ready to report and the earnings should be pretty decent as nickel and copper prices have been very high in the last quarter. Metal stocks have been one of the most disappointing groups in that prices are high but the stocks don't follow through. Won't do as well from now on, based on the price.
WAIT
Like a lot of other senior oils, it has downside because of price risk. Will follow the price of oil in the short term.
BUY
An exploration (Boca) play in China as well as a partnership in Peru. What will drive the stock in the short term is Boca. Some recent results were quite good. 2007 would be his best guess as far as getting to production. Wants to go up as soon as the gold price is positive. Cheap.
BUY
Has moved up quite sharply lately on their I-Fire flat panel TV. About 3 weeks away from having their plant up and running and will be producing 34" at $300US. Probably 15 months away from market. May be a joint venture coming.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 16/05. Up 8.5%.) Likes the US Hudson United acquisition by Bank North. Good strategy. Long term outlook is good. Would buy on weakness which will only happen on market weakness.
WEAK BUY
A very focused North American gas play. Earnings and cash flow report for the end of the month will be very good with record earnings. Has 6 X cash flow.
BUY
Has been very disappointing. Having trouble passing on cost increases. Still likes, but has given up hope that it's going back to $60 any time soon.
TRADE
Has done very well. Most of the growth is in wireless, so look at your percentage of your wireless as a percentage of the cash flow and that will tell you that BCE (BCE-T) is low, Telus is relatively high and Rogers (RCI.NV.B-T) is the highest. His preference would be Rogers.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 16/05. Up 25%.) Still likes and would buy it here.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 16/05. Up 52%.) Still not a bad buy.
DON'T BUY
Still considering converting to an income trust which would give it 15/20% upside. They've been getting killed by CTV.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Low $40's is a good long term entry point. If oil pulled back to $50, Low $40's is where you would see this stock which would be a great entry point
BUY
Very much likes what he sees. A good trust that has shown that they can grow. Has a heavy oil side. Probably doesn't have as much downside as some of the conventional oil.
BUY
They would like to own the Aim/Trimark side of Amvestcap in Canada. They will need and will get Sun Life's help in financing. Longer term it's a good growth geographically.
BUY
Trading at 20 X cash flow so statistically it's overvalued. If you laid the price of uranium over Cameco's chart, they would be fairly identical. Positive on it, but would want to be out early before it peaked as it will have a long way to fall.
