PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 9/16. Up 55.98%.) Very sharp security exchanges analysts in the US for all the electronic exchanges and pink sheets. Pays ordinary dividends and a special dividend on a regular basis.

COMMENT

Basically a long-term hold. PE multiple is always high. It is not to be compared with the oil/gas producers, high risk and cyclical. You simply hold this for the long-term. Dividend yield of 4.8%.

COMMENT

This has a large cobalt deposit. A good deposit mixed with bismuth, which is used in the treatment of metal. The company has struggled for years as mining companies do. It has managed to raise some money and is in a strategically choice area. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT

Not very well known. Deals with security matters. They have a radar related device, which could be behind a drywall, and can discern how many people passing by have got rifles, etc. underneath their waistcoats. Based on current orders, he thinks it has significant income building over next few months.

BUY

This is a monument that will go on, and the recent drop is probably a buying opportunity for the long-term. He doesn’t know why exactly they haven’t got their e-commerce going, but many serious companies have failed when they try to get e-commerce together.

COMMENT

If you don’t want individual gold stocks, and you don’t know the companies, you buy this ETF. It is down, so be prepared to hold it for the long-term. He doesn’t want to hold this.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

You buy this every time it drops $10. It hasn’t gone up too much. This is an established brand.

HOLD

The company has worked very, very hard. There is no magic immediately. Be patient. They have a lot of expertise. The car will work out. They get royalties from the handhelds.

HOLD

The great original in the non-Disney type company. It is Canadian. Great animation programming.

BUY

A serious long-term buy for people who speculate on things for serious stocks.

COMMENT

This is perking up. It is in better shape because the EPA is almost user-friendly now. The company is flying important analysts up to see the mine after all these years of desperately trying to get it going.

TOP PICK

A closed-end fund, and it is India. It is the sort of magic touch of Prem Watsa. They buy big into very interesting growth companies in an amazing growth country. (Analysts’ price target is $19.25.)

TOP PICK

Makes the plastic debit cards that have the chips. In the US, they hardly have any PIN numbers. This stock falls between the cracks because it was solely listed on the Venture. There has been a mismatch of earnings over the past quarter, but he thinks things will come through. Dividend yield of 6.2%. (Analysts’ price target is $6.32.)

TOP PICK

The “go to” company for existing supplies of cobalt. This is the one metal that is absolutely scarce.
