BUY
All the bank stocks are generally trading down. If you were considering a US bank, this is the one he would buy.
HOLD
This company has done well from acquisitions and from the replacement cycle. That cycle is cooling off and the order book is coming off. It is starting to reflect the slow growing nature of the bus market. They did very accretive acquisitions a few years ago and the tail wind is wearing off. It is trading where it probably should be.
BUY
It is a great company and quite successful. There is concern they will run out of acquisition targets. They say there are about $100 Million in targets. He thinks it is quite attractive.
N/A
Aren't we already in a bear market? It is up to the companies that are in the index to be in a bear market to call it that. We are in a bear market in some sectors and with some companies. It all depends on how you define a bear market.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 11/17, Up 8%) It pulled back recently. It is oversold again. It has been growing its earnings for 8+ years at 8% per year. It is still a buying opportunity.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 11/17, Down 0.1%) It was recommended as a new mid-streamer. It was trading at half the valuation of the other players. He thought it would get re-rated up but the sentiment in the sector is so bad. They have made agreements that will come on stream next year. It should provide upside for the stock.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 11/17, Up 14%) Mostly the return is based on dividends. They increased them. There is no talk of premium video on demand. Because of the selloff in the market it is back down to where it was a year ago. It is trading at a 70% discount to CGX-T even with the recent sell off. The industry is better now than it was a year ago.
BUY
It has probably been hit the hardest because of legacy issues, mostly that have been addressed now.
HOLD
They track the oil price a lot more today than they did in the past. People think their recent acquisition was buying an asset in distress. It may take a while for the new acquisition to prove itself.
COMMENT
You have to look back 40 years. They realized that manufacturing would be challenged and so became a financier. It came to an end in 2008 and now they are going back to manufacturing, which they knew would be a touch business. That is why they are suffering. It is difficult to succeed at it.
BUY
DIS-N vs. NFLX-Q. NTFLX is in a tough situation where a lot of content is being taken away from them next year. DIS-N is creating a competing service for their own content as well as 20 Century Fox's. They don't own 90% of the 'Netflix original' content. He prefers DIS-N.

DON'T BUY
It is a leader in the auto parts industry but it is so large that it has to grow with the industry. You might want to take a look at LNR-T.
DON'T BUY
It is the only bank in North America with a unionized work force (37% of it). They are trying to come to an agreement so they can have more online services to customers. The other banks that are non-unionized have more flexibility. The valuation is cheap but so is CM-T. You could own LB-T but he prefers the other ones.
DON'T BUY
He has sworn off semiconductor stocks. A soon as there is a glut of chips, the price falls off. You need to be in an industry where you can't have such sudden increases in supply.
