HOLD
Good holding for a 2 year outlook. The royalties issue will have little affect on the pipelines themselves. Fairly good yield, very well run company.
PARTIAL SELL
Have a very aggressive growth strategy. Have been buying up a lot of smaller manufacturers. They’re a major player. There could be significant downside.
DON'T BUY
Does have a lot of holdings in Alberta. There are a few others preferred in the trust sector.
TRADE
Has been under pressure. Whole sector has been depressed.
TRADE
Has been getting a lot of attention lately. A north sea play. Speculative. More than 10 times cash flow.
DON'T BUY
Yield that’s less than 5%. Not going to see real earnings in the oil sands for some time. This is more of a play on the future of oil sands. There are other places that you could put your money in oil sector to get a better yield. A very long-term play. Don’t expect to see the stock price rise.
WATCH
Has been hit hard relative to the other banks because of the commercial paper problems. Trading extremely low. Has high yield.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top pick Nov 14/06. Up 56%) Has a lot of perceived rapid growth a head of it. Happy to hold onto it.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top pick Nov 14/06. Up 19%) Wouldn’t buy at this price, there are other trusts in the sector that are more attractive. 15% yield. Would be taking profits in it today.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top pick Nov 14/06. Up 80%)
COMMENT
Big 5 Banks: Has significant exposure in the banking sector. You want to be around market weight. Bank of Nova Scotia and Bank of Commerce are our biggest exposures. Doesn’t like TD so much.
DON'T BUY
No plans to own it. Cant justify the price. Untill stabilized, do not invest in Nortel.
DON'T BUY
Has come down recently. Predictions of cash flows in the neighbourhood of $6 this year and next. Their production profile is positive. Delays have plagued operation.
WEAK BUY
They pay a pretty impressive dividend, 5.83%. The metal distribution business is sensitive to the building environment. Well run company. We’ve been looking closely at it. If you’ve got a longer term view, you could buy here.
DON'T BUY
Going to see more volatility in sector going forward. Not an inexpensive stock. Well internationally diversified. Speculative play at current price. Doesn’t have solid fundamental evaluation underpinnings at this point.
