Volatility is a result of views on metal prices as well as issues on some of their mines and when they may come into full production. If you are buying, look for dips. Prefers Hudbay (HBM-T), which is better value with over $5 a share in cash as well as a new copper/gold mine.

Value stock with over $5 a share in cash as well as a new copper/gold mine.

This is one way to play resurgence in gas prices. A very big and strong player in natural gas. He is playing it more through Daylight (DAY.UN-T), which has both gas and oil. Probably a decent time to get some gas exposure.

Extremely well managed and should continue to deliver good results. If looking for good, solid income in pipeline and midstream gathering space, this one and Inter Pipeline (IPL.UN-T) would be his top 2 picks. 7% distribution should be safe.

Short Term Bond Index. 70% government/provincial bonds and 30% corporate. Short duration of about 2.9 years, which he wants when rates are low.

(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Down 2.7%.) S&P/TSX 60 Index. Cdn banks are a much better position than global counterparts and it is heavy into materials and energy. A core position in every account. Much cheaper than a mutual fund as well as more tax efficient.

(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Down 6.8%.) S&P/TSX Capped Energy. Sold off half his position in the beginning of January for profits. Wouldn't add to it right now.Good long-term hold.
