TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 27/07. Down 36%.) New strategy cut a ton of costs and a lot of management layers. Earnings numbers will offset some of the slowdown in wire line business. Looking for stronger earnings growth than the market is expecting.

TOP PICK

Great free cash flow company. A much better balanced company than it was. Another way to play this is to take out the ADR (Thomson Reuters PLC (TRIN-Q)) listed in the US, which gives you about a 20% discount to the Canadian price.

TOP PICK

Likes Canadian banks. This one has been more heavily impacted. Bank with a 10% capital and a 8.5%-9% yield and trading at 8X earnings, is a fairly attractive place to put your money.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 27/07. Down 30%.) Still likes. Quality management. Strong retail focus. One of the few banks that grew its dividends. Still a Buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 27/07. Down 42%.) 12% yield is safe. Wal-Mart is the anchor for the bulk of their malls. Still very well positioned. Still a Buy.

BUY

Have regularly beat numbers. Probably one of the best management teams in Canada. Challenge is that they are in the midst of a transition from print to an online model.

COMMENT

Canadian Banks Preferred Shares: Banks have issued a lot of preferred shares partially as a response to the global issues that we have seen lately. Relatively cheaper money for the banks as opposed to new common issue. The risk is capital depreciation on your investment.

DON'T BUY

Took on a large debt to acquire Fording Coal. A fine line whether they will be able to skate through their bank lines. Depends on your call on zinc, metallurgical coal and their other commodities. Inherently a call on the Asian economies. Risky.

COMMENT

Difficult to examine all the moving parts of insurance companies. If you don't expect an improvement in the credit cycle or a rebound in the equity markets, then you get flat earnings.

DON'T BUY

Trains and infrastructure products are doing very well and will benefit from governments' infrastructure stimuli. Aerospace side has been hurt by the economy, which is what the market has been focusing on. Wait for a better outlook on the economy.

DON'T BUY

Mutual funds are very market sensitive so you don't want to own one until you know the market is going up. This one has some challenges. They were lending a lot of money against the purchase of mutual funds. It has been a headache but they will probably do okay with it.

COMMENT

Oil: $40 to $55 would be a reasonable price he would expect in the short-term. There had been far too much of a spike on the upside at $140 but the recent $36 range was too low.

WATCH

Pullout by Kuwait on the expected takeover of Rohm & Haas Co. Some clarity is needed as to whether they pay the full $78 financing, selling some assets there will be some volatility in the short-term. Longer-term an excellent company. 10.6% dividend.

BUY

The assets that were spun into this from BCE, excluded the wireless, which is where all the growth in the telecom space is. Its regional nature means less competition but wireless and cable is having an impact. A decent yield play. Not a homerun but a decent single.

DON'T BUY

A frustrating name. Essentially 2 businesses with polyethylene being good but styrenics has never really paid off. We prefer others.
