COMMENT

Pays a good dividend, which is sustainable because of the amount of cash that they hold. Product announcements are coming out currently and if you own, you could hold for a while. She has stepped out of the whole hardware device space because there is a lot of change going on and it is getting very competitive.

HOLD

Very high quality life insurance company. Never had the issues with market sensitivity that the others had. Very safe name. 4% dividend increases over time.

COMMENT

Very mature power electric company. Recently spun out their renewable power portfolio. Good yield of 8.4% which she thinks is safe. Doesn’t see a lot of growth in the dividend.

PARTIAL SELL

If you own, she would take some profits. Even though the auto industry in the US is recovering, it is a cyclical. You have to remember that the Japanese manufacturers, who have the benefit of a depreciating yen, could get more price aggressive.

DON'T BUY

Not only do they have exposure to the gold price, but they have not made astute acquisitions in the last few years. She feels you should have some gold exposure, but prefers Goldcorp (G-T) where she can see a clear path to their production and growth over the next 4-5 years.

COMMENT

Good high quality name. Interest sensitive so the recent decline has been because of higher rates. Also, going through some regulatory hearings so there is a perception that the large ROE may come down, which would decrease the cash flow somewhat. Doesn’t see a lot of growth in this one right now. Dividend is safe.

COMMENT

Growth has been very sluggish and is being replaced by tablets, etc. Have a new chip coming out and that may be a catalyst. They have 80%+ share and it’s difficult for them to grow in an environment where the economy has been slow and the market for PCs and laptops has been really negative.

COMMENT

This is an interest sensitive sector. Relatively mature now so they pay an attractive dividend. For an income investor, it is fine to hold. However, if you want the dividend tax credit you’d do better to hold Bell Canada (BCE-T). There won’t be a lot of growth.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Would hold this because of the growth in the global economy.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Great operator but competition is heating up.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Likes the space. Likes the operating leverage that they have.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.), You could potentially buy more once we get past these uncertainties in the market.

SELL

(Market Call Minute.) Has a reimbursement issue in the US.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Likes this but it is a little too pricey to buy right now.
