The valuation has become a lot more attractive. They did consolidation of ancillary operations and sold off assets to get the debt down. The valuation is reasonable and they are positioned for growth now.
(A Top Pick Feb 15/18, Down 10%) The XP acquisition attempt in China was a problem. There are a lot of potential levers to this story. He would get back into it.
(A Top Pick Feb 15/18, Down 42%) He was looking for US oil. This ETF started under-performing mid-year and he got out. He is not rushing back into energy names except for a few very highly beat up names.
It is unbelievable where this stock is trading at. Acquisitions this year are worth less than half what they paid for them. It was trading at less than half what it was worth. They are trading below the amount of cash they have. It shocks him how far it continues to go down.
They did a good move out of Canada a few years ago. They have better growth there. The street really soured on an acquisition they did. Global demand for oil seems to be coming back a little bit.
Canadian and US$. It is a good question to ask when buying US stocks. He does not know if the Canadian dollar will have a big move either way. Canada has its economic problems. The economic outlook in Canada is getting clouded and could cause a move downwards. However it does not have a huge impact on his decisions about US stocks.
He would have thought the bottom was higher than this. They did some great acquisitions recently and are in much better shape balance sheet wise. It is a better company than the market gives it credit for. You need crude to get out of the $45 range.
The warning flags are out for the auto sector in general. He would prefer GM-N because they are better positioned for electric vehicles. It is better valuation-wise. The risk in the auto sector is like the housing in the last downturn.
ABX-T vs. G-T. G-T is more the defacto go-to name. ABX-T does not have the growth any more. He thinks G-T has better assets. The problem with G-T used to be excessive valuation but that is not the case now.

He bought a couple of weeks ago. 8 times core operating earnings. The balance sheet is in better shape. They fixed a lot of their problems and you still have growth in Asia. There is still financial market risk.
WFT-T vs. IFP-T. He is still cautious on lumber stocks. We have seen the peak in US housing. Canadian lumber stocks do better with the Canadian dollar down. IFP-T is a better play because at least 50% of the lumber is out of the US. There is probably going to be a bit of a cloud over the sector for some time.
