COMMENT
The worst is over. Even though they made such a big loss. If you buy today, you are making a bet that interest rates AND especially the stock market are going to go higher. Interest rates – how much lower can they go? They are looking at being fully hedged by 2015. Balance sheet is in much better shape. He thinks they will be going on with $1.50 in earnings being normal.
BUY
Terrific results from Suncor. Finally getting benefit from Petro Canada Acquisition. Blocking POT-T acquisition has not had a negative effect on Suncor. He likes the oil sands business very much.
DON'T BUY
Quarter was not great. Stock had run up a lot. Hard to recommend buying this stock at this value. One of his top picks is based on this.
BUY
Has not worked out. Management could not translate backlog into margins. He’s hanging on. He bought today. It will pick up if they some higher margin projects.
DON'T BUY
You won’t get a lot of growth. Move money into TRP, and similar. Doesn’t see any dividend increase.
BUY
Reasonable buy right here. There was price deflation in food. The whole group has turned out good results. Thinks we will see price inflation and this will be great for margins. There should be some price growth next year. Empire is his preference, but you can’t go wrong with either.
BUY
These gold stocks seem to be under performing yet gold keeps going higher. The gold stocks look much more attractive now. Much better profit and bank for your buck here. Preference is ABX.
BUY
It’s hard to get disappointed when you have 30% earnings growth and raise dividend 12%. Stock has done very well. They keep putting the puck in the net. No end in sight to the earnings growth. 10-15% a year by gaining market share and relationships with mortgage brokers. Biggest risk is tanking of the real estate market.
WAIT
Good company, bad stock price. It’s hard to see it going past $42 in the next year or so, but if you hold it longer, you will do well. It is going to be a cash flow machine, raising dividends. If they are successful with the US expansion then earnings growth could be phenomenal. Wait for a pull back to $36-$37 or wait for it to grow into its stock price.
TOP PICK
One of the largest distributors of grains, crops and especially soybeans. China imports 55 Million tones of soybeans and can only produce 15 tones. Problem with soybeans is you can’t just throw more fertilizer on them, they need lots of water and China is a little short of water. Biggest risk is crop prices dropping. This quarter they couldn’t source grains from Russia. Over the long term this is a great place to be. Raised dividends 37 years in a row and is trading at a cheap valuation.
TOP PICK
Everyone is saying Tech space is great, but CSCO came out and disagreed and it hit the stock price. Smart phones use 40 times the amount of data as a regular phone so telcos have to buy more equipment. Don’t bet on the horse, bet on the racetrack. Tech stocks have never been cheaper.
TOP PICK
Canam Group Convertible Bond 6.25% 10/31/2015. If you get a bond, get one that has some sensitivity to the equity market. If the economy picks up you have some upside on your bond. Risk is that it is a small company and if the economy tanks again, you have a problem.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Nov 10/09, Up 43.98%) Still buying. Way too cheap
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Nov 10/09, Down 2.56%) Great week last week, got approval on new mine. Nice possibility of upside.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Nov 10/09, Up 10.50%) Canadian Real Return bond. Get paid to wait. Not as attractive as they were but the only insurance product that pays you money while you wait.
