COMMENT
CAE Inc
Flight simulation is a good space because air travel is increasing. CAE has alot of existing relationships. Reasonably price, but she doesn't see a compelling reason to buy it.
transportation equip & components
BUY
Home Depot
She has owned this for years. They had a great quarter, just announced this morning. She listened on the call. The market is concerned with future housing starts. But HD looks at GDP growth, unemployment (low), consumer confidence (high) and other metrics. HD shows good growth and they predict U.S. housing price appreciation in 2019. HD sees momentum in their business. HD has been unduly punished by the market, she feels.
specialty stores
COMMENT
DowDuPont Inc.
The company will spin off into three businesses: chemicals, materials and agriculture likely in 2019. She'd rather wait for the company to spin off these sections and not own all three now. Then, she'll look at the structure and valuation. Analysts feel the sum of the parts isn't reflected in the share price, which is why they're spinning off.
chemicals
DON'T BUY
They've gotten out of some businesses, but they still have their business jet, plus another one coming on. But the transit side of their business continues to disappoint. BBD warned that they will miss margin targets in their transit production, and said their free cash flow is below expectations. They need cash flow because they carry debt. She'd rather buy a peer.
transportation equip & components
BUY
They have quality office buildings with high occupancy. The REIT acts like a long-term bond, so it lags as rates rise. They're streamlining what it's doing in the US, getting out of retail to focus on multi-family housing units. Defensive stocks are starting to hold in, which is good. It's attractively valued. She's holding it for the yield and predicts price appreciation.

DON'T BUY
Keyera Corp
Likes this space, because of its exposure to interest-sensitive stocks, though the group has lagged a bit. She prefers others in this space because of better cash flow growth, project backlog and dividend growth, like Pembina.
oil / gas
DON'T BUY
It's been trending down because orders are off and investors fears of weaker future earnings. She thinks that, yes, things will slow in bus orders, considering where we are in the cycle.
Automotive
DON'T BUY
Apple Inc
Reported last week. Their volume shipments have been trending down, yet they're increasing prices. They are transitioning to a software-service company. Also, they won't disclose future unit shipment volumes, which the market doesn't like--people want more transparency. Apple has a lot of cash though. They haven't innovated in a big way in recent years, just relaunches. A financially sound company though. Wait for it to stabilize.

PAST TOP PICK
Cineplex Inc
(A Top Pick Nov 10/17, Up 4%) Stock price has been flat and has made basically only the yield. They're diversifying their revenues (Rec Room, e-gaming) away from the box office which accounts for 70%. When the movie slate is strong, people do come and spend money at the concession counter. Younger people still go to theatres, even to the VIP cinemas. Movies have been strong, and people are spending once they get in there.

PAST TOP PICK
CGI Group (A)
(A Top Pick Nov 10/17, Up 20%) Long owned this and still likes it. They do half-IT outsourcing and half IT-consulting. The former is long-term with a stable revenue stream. Diversified around Europe and Canada. Good organic growth. She'd buy it around $80 during this pullback. They don't pay a dividend, but they buy back stock. They're introducing more intellectual property in their software which is higher margin.
consulting
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 10/17, Up 8%) They make candies and chocolates. They have 40% in emerging markets where there will be growth, unlike developed markets which will be flat. In recent years they are reducing costs and widening margins. They've done this, so they are now improving their topline. You want more defensive names in this stage of the cycle and MDLZ is a good choice, long-term.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Xylem Inc.
It got ahead of itself above $80 so she wasn't surprised it pulled back. You can buy it on weakness. She likes the water sector and this is a pure-water play. 20% of revenues are in emerging markets which are still building water infrastructure. XYL has local operations there and growing demand in the U.S. She likes this long-term, because water is a scare resource.
environmental
WATCH
Dollarama Inc.
They had a few weak quarters based on weak same-store growth. They haven't had much competition in Canada, so it's traded at a premium vs. U.S. peers. It's been punished badly for missing recent reports. She's watching it. DOL is increasing price points beyond $1. A recent short report countered that DOL will become like any other retailer. Valuation is looking more attraction, but they could face competition from Miniso.
Consumer Products
COMMENT
Trades at a huge multiple, though they are experiencing good growth and the brand is strong. Never bought this, but she'll pay attention when they report tomorrow.
clothing
DON'T BUY
Canadian banks haven't done well, but they're undervalued now. CIBC is more domestic than its peers, which is why she doesn't own it. The housing market and trade (less of a concern now) are overhangs, but they have been oversold.
