A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert(A Commentary)

Oct 13, 2020
All investors are probably confused that we're in the worst economy in decades, yet the American stock markets are reaching all-time highs. In some ways, though, there's a bigger bubble in bonds. As for negative interest rates have failed in places like Japan. How much lower can interest rates go? This and the unattractiveness of cash are driving the stock rally by default. Eventually, this stock rally will break, and this pandemic won't go on forever. We will recover, though at what rate? He predicts global growth in coming years to be subdued as governments lower their debts made during this pandemic. Driving US markets is the feeling that the Federal Reserve has our back. He continues to be in stocks, but is being defensive, though is tilting towards value which he predicts will be a wider multi-year trend in markets.

Bank of Nova Scotia(BNS-T)

Oct 13, 2020
He's added to this recently. The banks have done a very good job; their capital ratios remain resilient. He sees no risk of any Canadian bank cutting their dividends--they're safe. We've probably seen the worst impact of Covid on their earnings. There's a lot of stimulus out there. Balance sheets are in good shape. Wealth management businesses have done well during this pandemic. Trades at a decent valuation and pays a good dividend. It's a safe investment. He's long the banks, Canadian and US.

BlackBerry(BB-T)

Oct 13, 2020
Cybersecurity is a huge growth business, and it has always been BB's strength. It generates cash flow and are making good acquisitions. The slow-down in car production effected BB, but that was temporary. It trades at a reasonable valuation. CEO Chen is moving BB in the right direction. This is an underloved company which had done an amazing pivot.

Keyera Corp(KEY-T)

Oct 13, 2020

Keyera vs. Pembina He owns both. Keyera: pays a slightly higher dividend, but also slightly riskier, due to its mix of liquids and gas processing, so probably more earnings volatility short-term. Pembina is a pipeline play with operating cash flow around 9-10x. They were resilient in the downturn. What's good about both is that they are sensitive to volumes, not the oil price, especially Pembina. The dividends are safe and earnings resilient. If the stocks do nothing, at least both pay more than 8% in dividend yields.

Brookfield Property Partners(BPY.UN-T)

Oct 13, 2020
Buy the pullback? It's probably fine, but he's squeasy about office space occupancy in downtown Toronto. He'd rather avoid stocks that are tied to downtown office real estate and play it safe. BPY are good operators with a strong balance sheet, though.

Altagas Ltd(ALA-T)

Oct 13, 2020
For income investors He sold this at $18. It's likely safe to own again and the yield is safe. Stable earnings, though only single-digit growth. He's comfortable with this. It pays a 5.8% yield, paid monthly.

Alibaba Group Holding(BABA-N)

Oct 13, 2020
It's hard not to like this given the explosion of internet use and how dominant BABA is in China online. Investors who were concerned with the company's accounting are growing more comfortable with it. It's a great global internet play. Good to own in a portfolio. BABA has branded very well. We'll see how or if US-China relations change after the Nov. 3 US election vote.

Suncor Energy Inc(SU-T)

Oct 13, 2020
Oil companies are moving towards renewables. SU is underappreciated given its assets. Operating costs for the oil industry are around $15/barrel, so they can still make money even at these oil prices. There are 20-30 years of oil reserves. SU is a good low-cost play for the long term that he's comfortable to hold for the long term.

Maxar Technologies(MAXR-T)

Oct 13, 2020
(A Top Pick Oct 18/19, Up 275%) He kept picking away it and still owns it. A few years ago, this stood at $80, but fell to $10 when they a great deal to buy DigitalGlobe which increased the company's value though levered the balance sheet. MAXR does satellite imaging and analytics for defence and many other industries. It has a 10x operating cash flow, so it's still not expensive. This could hit $100.

Rogers Communications (B)(RCI.B-T)

Oct 13, 2020
(A Top Pick Oct 18/19, Down 14%) He's disappointed with the telecoms, given how people are streaming more during Covid and there's decent earnings growth. Rogers' sports operations took a hit earlier this year (when there was no sports), and Rogers hit a bump with the unlimited data offer, but both are in the past. He still owns it. Rogers has more potential to grow its dividend (it's relatively low now) vs. its peers. He still likes this story.

Bank of America(BAC-N)

Oct 13, 2020
He owns the big American banks. BAC has more of a retail operation than its investment. They did a good job turning around with its acquisitions. Well-positioned. They've held back in paying their dividends because of restrictions, and can't increase dividends or do buybacks. Overall, though, the banks are in good shape. He's been adding to his holding.

Lightspeed Commerce Inc(LSPD-T)

Oct 13, 2020

Has done very well, considering their business is retail business payments. Recent earnings beat the street. They just did a listing in the U.S. which will likely raise valuations, but that valuation is as bad as, say, Shopify. It's not without its risks. The sector has very high valuations.
