A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert(A Commentary)

Aug 19, 2011
Markets. Looks at the current situation as an opportunity. In spite of all the noise and fear, he is not seeing a breakdown economically, such as a failure of a European bank. Has been a painful couple of months in the market. Cyclical stocks have been absolutely hammered.

Citigroup Inc.(C-N)

Aug 19, 2011
Has been light on financials, particularly US, but down here, you have more than discounted some of the worst situations. Valuations, relative to BV and earnings are discounting very bad news going forward.

Yamana Gold Inc.(YRI-T)

Has been taking a little bit of money out of the golds. Still likes this one but has been reducing his holdings. Gold could easily pullback.

Junior-midsize oils, particularly the gas mixed companies in southern Saskatchewan and Alberta have been decimated. Good valuation.

Great West Lifeco(GWO-T)

Aug 19, 2011
You would get a better upside play out of Manufactures Life (MFC-T) but would also be taking on more risk. This is fine. You have to remember that when bond yields fall, this is more of a problem for lifecos. There are names with more potential upside.

Barrick Mining(ABX-T)

Aug 19, 2011
Gold stocks have lagged the move of bullion. He has been switching a little bit of money out of gold. Cheap, relative to where it has been historically. Smart management. There is growth ahead but he would be more inclined to play the midsize companies.

Bank of Montreal(BMO-T)

If you are buying banks at this level for the yield, which is higher than what do we get on bonds, that is fine. Earnings growth will be a little bit slower.

Shoppers Drug Mart Corp(SC-T)

Safe in this type of environment because of study earnings, but finds the valuations somewhat rich at a 13 multiple. Growth is slow down a little because of drug legislation.

Getting back to $30 is not a big deal. On earnings, which are growing, it's an easy call. Prefers lifecos to banks right now.

Grande Cache Coal Corp.(GCE-T)

Aug 19, 2011
A lot of the cyclical stocks have come under big pressure. This one has been missing some of their production estimates and earnings for this year but thinks it will ultimately be acquired. Expecting it to get around $12 a share.

BlackBerry(BB-T)

Aug 19, 2011
(A Top Pick Sept 09/09. Down 55.12%.) Finally seeing some decent reviews on the 7 operating system. Valuation at only 4, 5 times earnings. There may be some disappointment in the current quarter. Risk in the next quarter or two until the earnings traction can pick up but if all you do is stabilize.
