BUY
Likes it a lot. Looking at energy with a lot of concern. ECA is one of his long names. He likes call options so doesn't mind if it doesn't go up.
COMMENT
Caller's question was, can a Canadian Bank fail? Answer: No. Canadian banks are generating most of their earnings from deposits and trusts.
WEAK BUY
Likes the yield on it. Likes the name and sector, but is not ready to get into it yet. Would rather like ener plus, and arc energy better. The high yield raises a red flag.
BUY
Likes it, also likes it's chart. Thinks it's building a nice base. His style of investing is that he like to write call options, and can't do it with this stock, so he doesn't own it.
WAIT
A big move today, but it hasn't been screening well. He would wait.
DON'T BUY
Attractive from a yield perspective, but very unattractive as a buy. Banks are still expensive. A they screen poorly, B not sure the values there. C We are going to be in a range on these bank stocks for some time.
BUY
Screens very well. Likes the stock and the earnings growth. He wants to sell the call option, which is selling the potential growth.
STRONG BUY
Really likes potash. Likes the story and fundamentals and the chart. Showing great earnings growth here. Constantly exceeding expectations.
HOLD
Question was, should he sell MFC in order to buy it back cheaper later. Answer: no. He likes MFC in the financial sector. They are less reliant on the market then banks are. If you want to have some money in the financials then MFC is a good place to be.
BUY
Loves RIM, has had it in their growth oriented portfolio. But also likes it in the income portfolio.
WAIT
Likes Rogers, for the concept and their business. The problems is the wireless spectrum option in May, where the government is going to auction off all its wireless space. The Rogers either has to drop their prices now in answer to that competition or they have to meet new competitor/entrant pricing. The industry is moving in favour of the consumer and away from the shareholder.
COMMENT
The sweet spot for covered calls is between 60 to 90 days for them.
TRADE
Doesn't follow this stock. But doesn't care if it's cheap. But if it has good earnings growth, then it's worth looking at.
BUY
Likes gold in general. In 2003 gold was trading at 200 an oz. very tight margins, so not much was produced. Now the prices of gold is higher, it's worthwhile to produce, but the gold producers have a lot of costs to get production going again. So gold bullion has out performed gold producers, but thinks that gold producers will soon out perform bullion. Likes Yamana,Kinross, and Goldcorp
