PAST TOP PICK

Bank of Nova Scotia(BNS.TO)

Oct 18, 2006
(A Top Pick Mar 1/05. Up 18%.) Still likes. All of the banks are reporting very good return on equity and this one has been reporting ROE’s around 20%. Earnings could go from $3.16 last year to $3.55 this year and even $3.80 next year. Yield of 3.4%.

Encana Corp(ECA.TO)

Oct 18, 2006
(A Top Pick Mar 1/05. Up 30.2%.) Still likes and would recommend buying at current prices. About 70% natural gas, which has a lot, more leverage than crude oil. Could see cash flow approaching $9 this year and possibly $10 next year.

Royal Bank(RY.TO)

Oct 18, 2006
Likes the bank stocks. Has relative safety. Currently, they are priced fairly well plus a 3% or better yield. The Royal has made some real improvements, especially in the US operations. ROE is running around 23%. A good long-term hold. You will do better with the Commerce (CM-T) or Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T).

Obsidian Energy(OBE.TO)

Being added to the S&P/TSX 60. This could create a little boost as index funds try to establish a position but doesn't think it will make major changes. Prefers others in this area.

Canadian Oil Sands(COS.TO)

Oct 18, 2006
This is and will continue to be a longer-term story. It can produce out of the oil sands at a profit, at today's prices. A viable place to be looking for future development. Would consider buying a few dollars less.

Used to have a lot on the goal. One product was for burn victims which they spun off. Has been working on a flat panel display for a number of years. There is a question whether the market has passed it by.

Has been under pressure because of competition on their stents. Some controversy as to whether the coated is better or not. Because of this, it is more of a speculation than an investment.

Lakeport Brewing Income Fund(TFR.UN.TO)

7.6% yield. The problem with the smaller breweries is the economies of scale and whether they are able to compete. To compete, they have to have very loyal customers. Not sure if in the long-term they have the scale to compete effectively.
