TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate this US based producer of coal for steel production as a TOP PICK.  With the new US Adminstration placing a high priority on "Made In America", this company is well positioned for both domestic and foreign steel demand growth.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired and shares bought back.  It trades at 7x earnings, 1.5x book and supports a 22% ROE.  We continue to recommend a stop at $140, looking to achieve $247 -- upside potential of 28%.  Yield 0%

TOP PICK
SM Energy Company
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate SM as a TOP PICK.  Partnering with Crescent Point, they are developing the very profitable waxy crude in the Uinta Basin.  Rising cash flows have allowed the company to take on incremental debt to continue developing the region.  It trades at 6x earnings, 1.2x book and supports a 22% ROE.  We continue to recommend a stop at $37, looking to achieve $54.50 -- upside potential of 23%.  Yield 1.6%

(Analysts’ price target is $54.56)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate PBR, Brazil's national energy producer as a TOP PICK.  Quarterly cash flows reveal that the company is once again building reserves, while continuing to pay down debt.  It trades at 5x earnings, 1.2x book and supports a 22% ROE.  The dividend yield is supported by a payout ratio of 55% of cash flows.  We continue to recommend a stop at $12, looking to achieve $17 -- upside potential of 23%.  Yield 7.4%

(Analysts’ price target is $16.96)
Oil and Gas (Integrated Oils)
TOP PICK

It's oversold and finding support near current levels; it seems to be bouncing. This is why he just bought a position. Old support from 2023 was $33. If shares don't hold currently, this could fall to $35. Is currently bouncing and heading to resistance at $45, or 15% higher. The risk/reward looks good. He bought one tranche and will buy more if shares move up.

(Analysts’ price target is $52.24)
non-base metal mining
TOP PICK
CASH

The markets in Toronto and especially New York have done very well the past two years. It's time to pause. Typically, markets will go sideways or fall. It's likely we'll see more volatility like in December. Higher interest rates will hurt growth stocks, particularly tech, and overall markets. He's cautious near term.

TOP PICK

Super profitable. Each dollar earned, 80 cents drops to the operating line. They invest massively so they continue to improve their product. Trades at 20x future PE. Cheap given growth is 3x the average company. The big investments in the metaverse will eventually flow back. Gaming always seen technological advancement first (i.e. Nvidia's videogame cards)l; the Orion glasses have potential and are 3 years ahead of Apple and could be a game-changer.

(Analysts’ price target is $671.01)
Technology
TOP PICK
Synopsys Inc

They boast a good moat and are in a duopoly. They help build computer chips, a huge industry. They are buying Ansys, a similar company with industrial applications.

TOP PICK

Each position is capped at 5% maximum. 220 stocks on the TSX, and so it's widely diversified. Recommending because of the upcoming change in Canadian government. Core position. MER is 0.06%.

E.T.F.'s

Reliable for income up until last fall and the TD fiasco; worried about contagion among Canadian banks. Now looking at this again. Not buying just yet, still looking at it. MER is 0.7%.

E.T.F.'s
TOP PICK

More of a value tilt to the S&P 500 and diversification. Likes the value proposition of its dividend appreciation focus. MER is 0.3%.
