TOP PICK
Manufacturer of flight simulators as well as running flight training. Airlines are going to need new pilots. There is also a huge demand for new aircraft, which will require training. Earnings are showing a nice progression.
TOP PICK
Uranium. They are an operator of 7 mines and 2 mills and are showing decent growth. Valuations are looking fairly decent.
TOP PICK
Interesting scenario. Stock has dropped as a result of the strong Cdn$. At this price it is a great buy. The automotive sector is having its issues but this company has a very strong balance sheet and have a lot of cash. Will be able to make good acquisitions had a very good price.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 19/06. Down 46.3%.) Affected by the strong Cdn$, which really hurt earnings. They are doing very well in their own space. Extremely cheap and is a good entry point.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 19/06. Up 35%.) Sold his holdings in the hopes that he could buy it back at a cheaper price.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 19/06. Up 20%+.) Acquired by CanWest (CGS-T).
COMMENT
Mine jamming equipment. Just lost getting the Crew3 contract. A lot of these companies are very dependent on new contracts and are very news dependent.
HOLD
A lot of institutional investors made a shift away from banks and into insurance companies. They have nice international exposure. Decent size and good operator.
COMMENT
The stock has been hurt, but it is more of an issue because of stents. Sales projections are falling off. At this stage, you are probably facing tax loss selling for the rest of the month and then get a January bounce if the company has a decent outlook going forward. Competition has increased in this area.
DON'T BUY
Sold his holdings when he thought they were taking too long and they were looking for a joint venture partner. Did a Rights Offering so have a little bit more cash. The real issue here is the cost of drilling. Very deep drilling. No cash flow. Really need somebody with deep pockets.
DON'T BUY
A broker focusing a lot on resource plays. Would prefer GMP (GMP.UN-T), which is not as risky. When you have a stock that has big line this much, you are going to get tax loss selling for the next little while, and then you will get a bounce.
BUY
Would buy at this price. 7.25% distribution. Very astute traders and a good operator.
DON'T BUY
Uranium. Probably down at a reasonable spot for purchase, but they continue to report very troubling news out of Cigar Lake regarding water problems and delay of production. Prefers others.
COMMENT
A “steady as you go” scenario. Very good operator. Have refinery operations as well as exploration and development. Should have decent upside.
WEAK BUY
Disappointed in the past but valuation is probably cheaper at this stage. Have some upside in terms of exploration that they are currently developing.
