TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate KNX as a TOP PICK. Despite the pandemic related challenges within the North American trucking industry, it continues to prove itself. Cash flow continues to grow, while the company buys back shares. It trades with a PEG ratio under 1.0 and at 1.6x book value. It pays a small (but growing) dividend backed by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $52, looking to achieve $67 - upside potential over 14%. Yield 0.69% (Analysts’ price target is $66.58)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly As one of the largest luxury home builders in the US, we again reiterate TOL as a TOP PICK. Continued low interest rates sparking new construction should allow the company to pay down debt and buy back stock. Recently reported earnings beat analyst expectations by over 20% and ROE is 16%. It pays a small dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow. It trades at 10x earnings compared to peers at 15x and is just over 1.5x book value. We continue to recommend a stop at $60.00, looking to achieve $80.00 -- upside potential over 16%. Yield 0.99% (Analysts’ price target is $79.75)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With oil prices remaining above $65 and the threat of inflation returning post-pandemic, we reiterate CVX as a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings beat analyst expectations by 33%. The company is a dividend aristocrat, increasing the dividend for the past 33 consecutive years. Next year’s projected earnings place the dividend payout ratio under 65% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop to $101, looking to achieve $130 – upside over 12%. Yield 4.72% (Analysts’ price target is $129.55)

COMMENT
Sometimes tax-loss selling offers bargains this time of year, but not always. Normally, you get a Santa Claus Rally then the January Effect, but markets have been so strong and run up for the past 1.5 years, so maybe there is tax-loss selling now. But but the bigger worry is interest rates. Central banks seem to be raising them after keeping them so low. We've seen asset inflation and now inflation in the real economy, so rates could rise, which will pressure asset prices. Governments have been pumping so much money into the system that no real inflation like in the 1970s has happened. But this could change in 2022.
COMMENT
EV stock to buy? He owns no EV stocks, including Tesla. It's a tough sector from a PE perspective--valuations are too high. One could say these are not EV stocks at all, but rather a way of transforming one's life. There will be big opportunities in this space, but during Covid, people have changed how to get from point A to B. Three of his four adult children don't drive and the younger generation will see driving differently from his generation.
COMMENT
Used to own it. In 2022, industries like this will likely get ahead of the market. Tech stocks will fare poorly in the face of rising rates vs. stocks and industries like SJ.
COMMENT
Selling gas station and oil sands assets to pay debt He's been fairly big in the energy sector, but not CVE. It's good they're paying down debt as rates are low. There will be continued demand for fossil fuels. There's a supply shortage and alternative sources haven't filled energy demand yet. He's bullish energy.
BUY
It's one of those few tech stocks with earnings and cash. It's a conservative way to play whatever comes next.
WEAK BUY
He's been wrong about gold for a while. He expected gold to do better; money hasn't shifted to gold in anticipation of inflation. Instead, money has moved into cryptos. Gold remains a storer of value though. Still uncertain what will be the dominant currency for governments. ABX is a conservative way to play gold. He likes the gold sector.
BUY
He likes this sector a lot. These stocks have done nothing for a year, been a while. Demand for power will continue to rise and renewables won't go away. He doesn't own AQN, but this sector. AQN pays a dividend, and the future of this sector looks good.
DON'T BUY
Sell Visa to buy Berkshire? Why do that? Interesting to see what Visa does in the meta economy to come. Real-economy demand will be strong. Likes Visa and its peers. When Berkshire's heads Buffett and Munger pass away, the BRK premium will shrink.
BUY
He likes renewables; demand for energy will continue. Renewables have treaded water for at least a year, but he expects more energy demand next year and these companies will be renegotiating contracts with clients. 2022 should be good for them.
COMMENT
Car stocks? If you believe that EV's are the wave of the future, maybe take a look at the traditional car companies. He owns no car stock or parts makers like Martinrea or Linamar. The wider supply chain squeeze may make people think no cars are being sold, and car lots are offering so few cars now. But the demand is there. There are waiting lists even for basic cars. There could be a rush in car sales and a bump in revenues.
