Canadian bank preferred shares. He owns National (NA-T), CIBC (CM-T) and Royal (RY-T). Getting 6.2%-6.6% along with a preferred tax credit. In for 5 years with a possible renewal.

Good to have this for times coming up more so than right now.

People will be looking for bargains. New management team owns Big Lots in the US, which has done very well. Negative is refinancing as they still can't buy all the product they want. Tremendous amount of product around through bankruptcies. Thinks same-store sales will go up. Can see huge upside but it will take a long time.

(A Top Pick March 25/08. Down 81.1%.) Supply temps for jobs especially in the IT industry. Under normal conditions they would be doing much better. CEO is known for going into companies and doing turnarounds. Because of economic difficulties, this is taking more time. No debt but very little cash and are losing about $1 million a quarter.

(A Top Pick March 25/08. Down 76.6%.) Had $140 million cash but now only $32 million. Had expected them to turn around earlier. Most recent quarterly results were absolutely brutal. He has lost a lot of confidence here. Not a Buy. Hoping for a bump so he can get out.

(A Top Pick March 25/08. Down 44%.) Reporting record revenues and profits. No debt. A leader in the software field. Likes the company a lot and thinks they are doing everything right. Can see this being a $7-$8 stock but will take a long time.

Talking about changing to a corporate structure but dividend future is not clear. Sales have been negatively impacted. Fairly strong company. Clarity on the dividend would help.

Oil/natural gas. Halted distributions and cut back on exploration. Has a lot of debt. Very iffy and could go under.

Doesn't know this company very well. Prefers companies that have been around a minimum of 10 years. You have to think of what the price of potash will be. Overall, the demand for agriculture products will increase.

Deals with tape, housing and airline industry. Refinanced their debt last fall so there shouldn't be a problem with this. Have cut back on staff. New products should create revenues. Could be a 10 bagger.

Very scary but has huge upside. Doesn't think it will go under though they could still have a lot of problems ahead. Prefers not buying at this time of year because of the annual flow of stock price increases/decreases. Expects a lot of tax loss selling towards the end of the year. It could be a higher price but a better bet because of better stabilization.

US$ vs. Cdn$: Doesn’t understand why the US$ is so high. They will have a deficit of $1.7 trillion, which is crazy. There is a relativity aspect here as so many other countries are printing money too.

Has been on his watch list for years. Have done a tremendous turnaround. Have just done a deal with their C planes. Wouldn't jump in to buy it right now. Thinks there will be a lot of orders that will be pushed back.

Thinks they are looking at a breakeven quarter. Have been putting up really good numbers. Insiders have been buying. Think they are moving in the right direction but the market is saying it could go bankrupt. With the debt load it is not out of the question. Could also be a 10 bagger.

(Formerly an income trust.) Once a company cuts its distribution, the stock price almost always gets beaten down.
