N/A
Market. Market. We are seeing signs of the real economy roaring back. He thinks this cycle has room to run. Think about the re-opening trade, the back-to-work trade and away from the work-at-home trade. Don't throw out babies with the bath water. It will not likely be like the 2008 to 2019 cycle.
DON'T BUY

For a few months it was the biggest company in Canada, surpassing RY-T. He used to own SHOP-T. He moved on because of high expectations and valuations. The concerns remain and are greater now than three years ago. It's going to face difficult comparisons to last year as we return to normalcy during 2021. They do a lot of their business in the US. The chart is not broken but the uptrend looks wobbly. There is support around $1,400 and below that there is quite an air-pocket. If you own it, lighten up on it.

DON'T BUY

This is like SHOP-T. It is pricey and the market has high-expectations. There will be some structural spend but it may not be enough to justify the PE. There will be difficult comparisons to last year, a banner year.

BUY
He has owned it for a number of years. It is primarily exposed to the gold price. It insulates you to the myriad problems common in the mining industry. You get good diversification by geography and company. He likes to buy on dips.
BUY
He owns it on behalf of an investor. These are difficult projects to get approved. He thinks in the end they will get the green light on the current project. This will be incremental to their valuation and earnings. Write-down's on assets are usually backwards looking so he does not pay a lot of attention to it as a forward looking indicator. The financial strength is good and it should grow.
SELL

It is subject to a take-over offer. He also owns the parent. He initially took none of the offers. He waited for them to sweeten the offer which they did. He thinks that will be the final offer. You should tender your shares for BAM.A-T so you participate in the recovery of their assets. The draw back is that you may not be able to crystallize losses, if that is a consideration.

HOLD
It is a good quality company and an industry leader. It has a dominant position. It is not the best use of a dollar today as others have better leverage to a recovery, but for 5 years it is a good holding. They are a good consolidator and the industry remains fragmented.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 09/20, Up 17%) He has owned it for a number of years. They are a good consolidator. It has been perking up a little in the last few weeks. There are probably some short term headwinds for them with comparisons to last year as a lot of stores were closed and traffic got diverted to dollar stores, convenience stores and corner stores. They had a windfall on gasoline margins. Oil prices fell swiftly but gas prices did not, as is usual. Their fuel margins will be a headwind for the next couple of quarters. He thinks they will get a strategic acquisition completed this year. They are buying back their own shares, which is rare. They think they are undervalued.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 09/20, Up 38%) He would buy it again. It is a corner stone of his portfolio. They have a dominant position and are well capitalized. They will have relatively easy comparisons this year because they took big credit losses last year. You can buy it any day.
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 09/20, Up 26%) It is not as racy as a SHOP-T. It is a large outsourcing firm. They have a great client base and are a great consolidator. They are always undervalued, caused by the organic growth being mid-single digits. The total growth is good. He is comfortable buying it here.

HOLD
He only owns it in his income accounts now but used to own it in total return accounts. There were better ideas elsewhere. It recovered sharply. They used to be a dynamic grower. Then they goosed that with financial engineering maneuvers. This put off investors and eventually they got unwound. They then made a large acquisition and had to sell a lot of non-core assets. Now their balance sheet is cleaned up and the structure is simplified. They are on good ground for the dividend but he sees them as having difficulty growing. Their last divided increase was historically low, which prevented the stock fully recovering.
BUY
Today is as good a day as any to buy it. They have a great presence here in Canada and a strong business in the US. He thinks restrictions on buying back shares or raising dividends will be loosened. It should be good for the stock price.
BUY
Copper. It is a pro-cyclical commodity. He likes it and has exposure in his US portfolio. It went on quite a spike about 2011 because of rapid industrialization in China and then fell back. In 2016 it rallied again. He does not think electric vehicles will get us a $20 price but it suggests being in the upper part of the range $2-$5. There will be a higher demand as we move to electric vehicles.
DON'T BUY
They make hydrogen fuel cells. It is not a new or an emerging company and has never turned a profit in 25 years. He sees it as a science project. It is a show-me story.
TOP PICK

It is a recent addition to his portfolios. It is Canada's largest commercial printing operation and unnoticed by the majority of investors. They are going to be a big player in the flexible packaging industry. It will be more like CCL industries. They are best known for their fliers. They have been shrinking that footprint. The shares are inexpensive. They have a long history of growing the dividend. The stock should turn up dramatically this year as it was depressed last year. (Analysts’ price target is $25.25)
