COMMENT
He was expecting to see more tax-loss selling in energy stocks. There have been some significant up trends however. On the earning side, we have to watch the price of oil. If we hit $70 for oil, energy stocks may do very well.
BUY
It’s one of the junior stocks that he continues to like. It’s trading significantly below book value. The company has good assets in shale in Texas. It continues to pay down debt and deploy capital better. A well managed company.
COMMENT
These are very defensive short-term investments. Big assets manage these ETFs. ZST has a higher short-term yield although it is more risky. The risk is off-set by the term being very short.

WAIT
5G is going to be very expensive and it’ a big step. There’s also some controversy with Huawei. None of the telecom companies have come out with the cost. He wouldn’t step in to any of the telecom companies until we see more background cost data. However, we are going to 5G regardless.
BUY
Likes the company and they have good yield. There’s no political risk since it’s in BC and Alberta. It’s taking a risk by stepping into processing with the plastic plant but it should be a success.
BUY
A Canadian gas producer that pays a good dividend. Not a very exciting chart, but it is a well managed company. The dividend is safe. With the price of gas taking a beating over the last couple years, it’s probably reached a low point.
WATCH
A lot of the stocks are trading substantially below book values. They are in North Dakota and Southern Saskatchewan. They have been buying back their stocks. The dividend has been cut but the stock has been acting well.
PARTIAL BUY
He’s more neutral on the banks. However, if you really want to invest in the banks, ZWB has a better yield because of the covered calls. If the bank goes sideways, it is a good way to play it. A good dividend.
BUY
An emerging markets ETF with good coverage internationally. It’s performed quite well recently. The multiples are more reasonable and growth potential is okay.
DON'T BUY
A financial group that he’s invested in the past. However, things have gone sideways recently. The two eras have moved out of the company which was rewarded by the markets. He would prefer banks with better yields in some cases.
COMMENT
It’s a surprising story that has gone up. An expensive stock in terms of overall price. However, it is a project-by-project company so as long as the economics of the internet continues to grow, they will be fine. A good acquirer with positive results that will continue to show capital appreciation.
COMMENT
He likes it for cash-flow with excellent yield. A great alternative to bond funds. There’s a good spread of dividend paying companies. The dividends are relatively safe. It hovers around $14. He would wait for a pullback below $14.
BUY
The group as a whole have done well. There’s a few stocks that have done well, but there has been some profit taking recently. This security will bounce back up. The infrastructure sector continues to grow. A good long term investment with growth potential.
WATCH
A tempting stock. In some ways, it has turned around. The horizon has cleared to a degree. The troublesome aviation side has been sold off. Their subway and train business has had problems recently. Looking at the company, things should get better but this situation has already seen.
