BUY
He bought it last fall, a top pick. It's a reopening stock, so this should grow. There's a decent base building which is good going forward. But energy instead? No. Prefers QSR instead of buying energy at current highs.
BUY
It's benefitting from rising energy prices and the Russian war, but he wouldn't hold this long term. He likes it because it is getting into solar and wind energy. The world is moving towards alternative energy.
BUY
Sell Vermilion to buy this? He entered this starting last year, because of its lumber business. SJ is a ply on infrastructure, say building ports which need lumber. The stock has trailed since late last year, but current PE is attractive. He would add to this long term. After the current mess in the economy, there will be infrastructure spending.
BUY
Not a big dividend play (it pays below 3%), but it's a good one to look at it. After its recent dip, it offers good value--it's defensive and a hedge against (mild) Canadian housing weakness if that happens.
PARTIAL BUY
He owned this until last year, selling it because the PE got high. This stock depends on aging demographics. For this reason, he's keeping it on his radar. Not a bad choice for your portfolio.
TOP PICK
The stock has come off recently, but has done well in recent years. With its global footprint, it's resilient if the economy weakens this year. It will benefit from infrastructure spending that he expects to come. Solid balance sheet. Well-managed. (Analysts’ price target is $195.43)
TOP PICK
It manages inventory very well; it re-supplied quickly when the Russian war started. LNR is resilient. The stock has come off a lot, but around $50 it is a value play in a sector that will see continued growth. (Analysts’ price target is $81.40)
TOP PICK
He's owned this for a while. Some feel now is not a good time to get into emerging markets, but he thinks China and India will show solid growth. He's been adding to this during market volatility.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks MGM made waves before last Christmas when it sold its Mirage Hotel & Casino to Hard Rock for $1.08 billion as part of its “asset-lite” strategy, which includes devoting more capital to its online sport betting operations. Therefore, companies like MGM can operate sports betting but can offset those high costs through their other operations, like casinos and hotels. Since the deal, MGM shares have gone sideways, trading between $40-46, though off 52-week highs. Sure, Covid did the casinos no favours, though MGM endured it relatively well by suffering only a $1.5 billion cash burn. (In 2019, MGM boasts $12.96 billion in net revenues, $1.8 billion in operating cash flow and a 14% cash flow margin.) Read Battle of the stocks: 2 Sports Gambling Stocks for our full analysis.
