BUY
Really likes the investment management sector. It should be pretty good business in a time of a decent market and reflation. When a group gets into gear, you want to look at the leaders.

BUY
Commodities are more volatile, correcting since May. World is in a copper deficit, and FCX is the one you want to own. If it were to break $31, he'd be forced to the sidelines. Other risk-oriented sectors have been gaining ground, so we should see a reacceleration of the base materials and end the year pretty well.
DON'T BUY
People own it for the 3.6% dividend yield. Not a huge fan of infrastructure right now, as they're in the same camp as utilities and telecoms. Stable, low economic sensitivity, low dividend growth. Market likes faster dividend growers. Relative strength has been weakening. Not the best place for total return going forward.
BUY
Takeover candidate? Attractive assets. He can't speculate on the possibility of a takeover. If it happens, wonderful. Dividend growth is less likely. In the right space and acting quite well. Yield is 6%.
BUY
Legacy issues are likely cleaned up. Stock's acting well technically. Likes the stair-step, rally-consolidate characteristic. Earnings growth likely to be quite strong. Engineering sector will benefit from infrastructure projects. He doesn't own it, but could.
BUY
Group is on fire. Rallying nicely in a sector that he likes. Oil and gas pricing looks as though it will continue to be strong. Cash being generated by the group is company-changing to the balance sheet. He'd be comfortable owning. See his Top Picks.
BUY
Absolute market leader for the last 2 years, for good reason. Multiple revenue streams. A great predictable asset. Firing on multiple cylinders. Beat estimates regularly, which continue to rise. However, it's in the secular growth camp, whereas some of the economically sensitive stocks will outperform. Lots of potential.
BUY
Canadian banks using mountain of cash for dividends and buybacks. US investors are still cautious about banks. Whereas Canadian investors have tremendous confidence in our banks. Financials are his largest weight, because of dividend growth. Likely to see an acceleration in dividend growth. With rising interest rates, you need a rising stream of dividends. A great place to be.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 27/20, Up 13%) Keep an eye on to buy again in the future. Fires have held up shipping. Numbers likely to come down. Relative price performance has been weak. Cyclicals need to be traded, not held forever. He's waiting for the next quarter, and more water under the bridge for the KSU deal. Great operator. Cautious short-term.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 27/20, Up 29%) He'd buy it today. Grows dividend quickly, over 20% a year over the last 5 years. Likes the housing sector and home improvement.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 27/20, Up 26%) Had a good run. Iron ore prices have corrected. Interesting area around this price. He'd want to see it turn higher over the next 2-3 weeks before he added new positions. If we're in a commodity cycle, this could be a leading stock for a very long time.
BUY
Rising relative strength. Strong performance. Generating a ton of free cash. Gas production is rising. Completely unhedged. Likes the group. Gas prices likely going up into the winter.
BUY
LAC vs. BLDP Both in alternative energy space. He'd pick lithium as a material, and lithium producers as more timely. Market doesn't care about BLDP's technology adoption right now. Whether you own the LIT ETF basket, or some of the larger producers, the demand is going to be solid for quite some time.
