COMMENT

A US company like EIF-T, and is it like Cargojet? No, not like Cargojet, and he can't compare EIF to an US company. But a Canadian comparable is Onex, a holding company that owns industrials and several small airlines that served remote regions (i.e. northern Quebec). All airlines are struggling now, but these remote areas still depend on airlines flying there. Onex also owns light industrials, like one they bought in the US recently. Well-managed and a roll-up story. Are astute acquirers. Also pays a juicy dividend.

BUY
Great company that he's long owned. Last week's earnings report was the biggest surprise he ever saw with them. Upstream oil is suffering, but at the gas station retail end ATD is making strong money. Also selling in-store merchandise well, including high-margin food. They do a lot of M&A and do it well. He expects them to expand to Australia and Asia in the future. You can buy this and own for many years. It's close to a new high, but each year makes new highs.
DON'T BUY

It's cheap, but not undervalued, but because their properties are in Alberta at a time when oil is out of favour by global markets. Look at CAP REIT which is in better regions. Location counts for a lot in a REIT. Alberta unfortunately is not the place to invest in now.

TOP PICK
The go-to gold stock. They don't mine, but are a royalty company of gold (and other precious metals) miners. As the price of gold rises, miners drill more and more royalties FNV receives--this is crucial. Operates on a strong business model. FNV outperforms the gold mining index in 9 out of 12 years. (Analysts’ price target is $206.58)
TOP PICK
Is Canada's largest IT services company. They serve government and healthcare, as well as financials and retail. Very global. Increasingly, they're licensing their own intellectual property and client engagements, which have favourable long-term margins. Resistent to the pandemic. It should grow EPS this year. The kicker is GIB is a successful buyer, doing some recent tuck-ins and transformational deals. The current CEO will probably make a meaningful merger or buy to put his stamp on the company. (Analysts’ price target is $102.26)
TOP PICK
Offers selective exposure to cyclicals during this recovery. MX holds a 14% share of global methanol market, used in plastics and fuel blending. Generates heavy free cash and buys back shares at the top of the economic cycle. They run efficient plants in Canada, Chile, New Zealand, etc. near low-cost natural gas supplies. Methanol's price is now very low as the pandemic pressures transportation fuel demand. A value stock, so now is a great time to enter it. It trades at 1.4x book value (10-year average is 2.5x). Upside is huge. (Analysts’ price target is $30.42)
