Markets. We are in a lower growth environment and people are going to have to ratchet their expectations down. The Canadian market has been dramatically affected by the oil price, not only affecting the auto sector, but bank stocks as well. Thinks we are in to a new era where we have a lower growth. We are in an aging demographic where people are saving more. He loves dividend paying stocks. Rather than the volatility, he prefers more of the good old steady Eddie, and dividends are a big focus for him. Likes technology for finding safe value companies, especially in the US.

A real estate manager with over $2 billion worth of a wide range of properties in the US. Everything from single family homes to some lower cost properties. Has a decent dividend. He likes this company. Has underperformed recently and is not sure if this is just going down with the real estate sector or something to do with the oil prices. Vacancy rate is well under 10% for their properties.

Likes this company. No debt. Has a market multiple, so is not cheap, but has been a great performer over the last year. Good free cash flow to enterprise value.

Thinks oil is close to a bottom and you can start picking your favourites out, but he would not be buying oil/gas companies right now. We still have an extended period of time, maybe the rest of the year, before we have a sustained movement up. This is not a bad company and has a decent track record, but these companies are not making money.

Just reported and are increasing their dividend. This stock almost fits everybody. Great business and good management. Yield of 4.7%.

Ranks very well in his program. Has had very good earnings growth and reasonable coverage on their interest payments. Dividend yield of 12%.

He stays away from new issues. It’s an area where you have increased risks. There is no history with management or how it is going to react in the market. Doesn’t rank well in his program being in the bottom quartile, partially because it doesn’t have any history.

(A Top Pick May 14/15. Down 32.85%.) Sold his holdings at $20, so his clients made money.

(A Top Pick May 14/15. Down 31.18%.) Even though there has been a significant drop in the share price, he doesn’t have a Sell signal from analysts decreasing their earnings estimates. Trading at around 7X earnings and has a very low debt to equity. Still a Buy.

(A Top Pick May 14/15. Down 6. 76 %.) This is still a Buy. Has a free cash flow to enterprise value of over 11%. Very low debt level and a healthy dividend.

Ranks well in his program, but so far they haven’t had much earnings growth. Prefers others. Dividend yield of 4.2%.

BMO has a great suite of ETF’s. This one has done very, very well. You can buy this and set it aside, and you are going to do well.

Banks have come off 5%-17% from their recent highs, and this is a great buying opportunity. You are getting them well below market multiples. He prefers using the BMO S&P TSX Equal Weight Bank Index (ZEB-T).

Solar panel manufacturer. A Canadian company with operations in Canada, but is basically a US company. They get a lot of their product out of China. However, there are a lot of strange cross currents. Very difficult to get information on this company. Very volatile.

They have more and more operations trying to ship LNG out of the West Coast of the US. Nothing wrong with the company. This has been lumped in with the energy sector, so seems to have been hurt by that comparison. Have long “take or pay” contracts, so the operations are very stable. Prefers Inter Pipeline (IPL-T). Great yield of 6.25%.
