Thinks it will be quite a while before they actually close their doors. It is one of the stocks he has been lucky on in that he got out at $17. Wonders how department stores can create a new formula for their existence. The real estate is important, and you can buy this for a recovery on sheer speculation that it goes up later. The underlying value of the real estate is quite substantial.

COMMENT

Power Financial (PWF-T) or Toronto Dominion Bank (TD-T)? He would take the simpler course and go the bank, because Power Financial is associated with all kinds of financial services. Then there is the parent, and then there is the family. The Canadian banking base is tremendously strong.

COMMENT

Complaints against this company will go on for years. They have giant contracts which never really made much money, and have now actually been shut out of an important New York contract. It is really difficult for them to get going.

COMMENT

This looks like it has legs forever, however all things do come down. This is a wonderful company.

COMMENT

A fabulous way of buying into India through the Canadian market if you want to be there, and want to use the expertise of the Fairfax group. They are putting together corporations, and buying companies with a sort of chemical slant to them, but in an environmentally acceptable way. This ought to continue to do better.

COMMENT

This has always been a very difficult one. It is a Cuba thing. It sold off a lot of its Canadian assets. Has a bit of cobalt which is strong nowadays.

COMMENT

This was a super stock in the beginning. It has the makings of something with new management in the US. Supposedly there is going to be a division of the assets. However, don’t forget, that everything that is in the medical sector is getting Trump-ized, so it is difficult at the moment. There is only one analyst on this, and he keeps giving it a “Buy”.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 19/16. Up 20.39%.) This was taken out of Canada and put into England which is one of the most important gambling areas in the world. The sector trades at 15% in the UK, and this trades at 5%-6% in Canada. This is social gaming rather than hard gambling.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 19/16. Up 64.31%.) They always have something else up their sleeves.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 19/16. Up 53.57%.) The greatest, pure toy company in the world now. An extraordinary creative team. They have set up offices around the world, which gets them to their creative people and the markets.

COMMENT

Pretty well the world’s greatest copper/gold assets. It is in Alaska. The company has been taking analysts up there this year. Eventually it has to surely get going. It should work eventually.

HOLD

A very nice small-cap and has done very well. Continue holding this if you have it. It has a 4.4% dividend yield.

BUY

Thinks this is a buy. It commands the space in terms of being outside the bank, doing big contract work on thin margins. Suffered about a year ago because the US$ was strong, which affected their income. A one-of-a-kind company, except for a British one which is private.

COMMENT

The best marijuana stock? He can’t give any strong guidance. There is a whole model of entrepreneurs and wannabe’s, and the regulations are really confounding everybody. He was almost interested when they produced an ETF, which he bought, which is down and dirty. Expects he will continue to lose money.
