COMMENT
Markets. There has been a liquidity driven strong market since Oct/11 but none of the underlying problems has really gone away, particularly in Europe, but China is also slowing down. Feels there is another 20% downside from here. He is still not totally convinced that the US is out of recession danger and the odds are about 50-50. His Cdn portfolio has about 20% cash.
COMMENT
Long-term outlook on this stock is very positive. Short time there is some downside to the levels we saw last fall if the market falls 20%, which he expects. Will respond to the key commodities of copper and coal. Would buy into weakness.
HOLD
Switching non-voting shares to voting and a hedge fund is getting involved. Comments? Hard to know what the result of that will be. Hedge fund owns a good slug of the voting shares. They want the premium and are complaining that they are not getting it. You should look beyond this as it will not be a big difference. Dividends have been growing 5% every 6 months. Feels the earnings growth over the next 3 years will be in the order of 9%-11% per year.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Pretty optimistic on long-term pricing of potash because cyclical stocks were underweight because of concerns on global commodity prices. Wouldn't buy currently but would hold for the longer-term. Would like to see it under $40. 1.3% dividend.
HOLD
Buy at around $53-$54 and selling at $57. Good strategy? The Buy price is reasonable but he is not strong on the strategy. A little nervous of banks generally because if you get European problems developing over the summer, it will affect Canadian banks.
PARTIAL BUY
The low price is obviously reflecting weaker gas pricing. Have a large exposure to the Montney play. Very well run company. Conservative balance sheet. Good level to start accumulating. 6.3% dividend yield should be safe.
BUY
Likes this company for the longer term. Has a terrific balance sheet. 4th largest auto parts company globally. Orienting Has production to potential growth to Asia. Had problems in Europe but are making good improvements in those operations.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Tremendous long-term growth potential but short-term production difficulties.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
(Market Call Minute.) Very cheap valuation but could get cheaper in the next month or 2.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Doesn't like the life insurance industry. If he is right about bond yields staying low, you don't want to own in this industry.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Doesn't like the life insurance industry. If he is right about bond yields staying low, you don't want to own in this industry.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Great long-term situation. Increased dividends 10% a year for 60 years. Will continue that pace, if not better for the next 3-5 years. Currently about 3 multiple points above its 15 year average.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Has concerns about being able to maintain the dividend if these gas prices hold at these level for the next year.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) A very speculative Hold.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 26/10. Down 49.6%.) Sold in the $11-$12 area. Will be worth looking at as a cyclical play over the next few months.
