COMMENT
KEY vs. FTS He owns Fortis only, though likes Keyera. KEY is more exposed to the midstream oil/gas side while FTS is exposed to power generation and so will be more stable over time. KEY had to recently do an equity issue because they had too much debt.
DON'T BUY
He's owned it in the past. DML has traditionally issued a lot of shares, which he doesn't like. Also, ever since the Japanese nuclear reaction meltdown, this sector has been troubled. He avoids the sector.
COMMENT
He owns a bit of this, but prefers Corbys because it has a better cash generation ratio and pays a better dividend. He doesn't dislike ADW, though.

DON'T BUY
It's fallen on hard times. It bought a big mine in west Africa and has trouble getting it to run at a profit. They took on a lot of debt to buy that mine, and not the credit cycle is turning. Their bonds are trading as if is S is going bankrupt.
COMMENT
Liquidate $250,000 in stocks and wait out this market downturn? He doesn't give portfolio advice, but he sees trouble ahead. The credit cycle has turned, and interest rates will--THOUGH the U.S. Fed may half further rises if the economy sharply downturns. That said, this market is grossly oversold. If we're entering a bear market, this is only getting started. He's read that 90% of CFO's expect a recession by end-2019. A downturn doesn't start this fast, though, and usually has some sort of bounce back. We'll see.
BUY
A big holding for him. Management has histoorically found big mining projects and done great job adding value by selling them or harvesting the cash flow. With the China-US trade war, base metals are out of favour, though. But he still sees value in base metals and commodities, so ALS is a reasonable buy here.
WATCH
Interesting. If we see a better regulatory environment in oil, then a services company like this will be a good buy.
SHORT

He's very negative about the housing sector. He's short TMC. Credit spreads are rising and the credit markets are turning over. Canadian real estate is vulnerable.

TOP PICK
Any Canadian junior has been crushed, so he's looking for a very oversold name in an oversold sector, yet a company with a good balance sheet with some growth likely. LXE fulfills that and has no debt. Pristine balance sheet with $20 million cash. No debt. Their cash flow is break even with current oil prices. It'll likely bounce sharply in January. Also, Canadian oil is really really cheap. Over 3-5 years, you could see a 5-10-bagger. (Analysts’ price target is $2.27)
TOP PICK
Really oversold, yet deep value. Should get a good bounce in January. A specialty pharma maker with almost zero economic exposure. (Analysts’ price target is $5.06)
TOP PICK
Oversold and should see a good January bounce. This is one of the lowest-cost silver developers in the world. (Analysts’ price target is $21.11)
WAIT
They've done financing, rising from 80 cents to $4 then back to $1. A round trip. They're opening a big cannabis supercentre in Vegas that'll probably do well, but this stock got expensive. And cannabis is still speculative. He's waiting-and-seeing.
