| DON'T BUY | 16.150 | Colin Stewart | Security business. A little bit cautious on this one. Company has been successful in growing aggressively, primarily by acquisition. Levered up the balance sheet to grow the business and he is very cautious on businesses with high debt to EBITDA. | 2008-06-25 | |
| Comment | 17.710 | Gavin Graham | Leading security provider. A disaster over the last 12 months. Growth by acquisition story. Have been worries about their ability to manage growth. Recent pop indicates a good quarter. On his radar screen. If they can integrate their acquisitions, they’ll have a very steady growth in earnings. Hopes management doesn’t make other acquisitions until they have settled down. | 2008-05-20 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 21.000 | Kyle McKay | (A Top Pick Mar 7/06. Down 8.9%.) Have done a great job of consolidating a very fragmented industry. Should do well this year. | 2007-01-08 | |

| TOP PICK | 23.050 | Kyle McKay | This stock hit its 52 week high today. Garda World Security is a great growth story through consolidation in Canada. Involved in cash handling, security, airport security and background investigation checks. Doubled its revenue over the last couple of years. Managment would like to double its size through acquisitions. He has owned for quite some time, average entry price was about $7-8.00. He is continueing to sell it on the way up just through appreciation, maintaining his weighting. | 2006-03-07 | |
| BUY | 15.250 | Michael Smedley | If he were to pick a fairly junior company that is on the expansion trail, this would be about the most solid. The demand can only increase. They seem to manage their operations very well as well as acquiring them. | 2006-01-03 | |
| BUY | 14.000 | Robert McWhirter | Ranks in the top 5% of his database. Estimates have popped up by 23% in the last 90 days. Year over year earnings growth is up 50%. For year-end Jan/07, earnings are expected to grow from $0.50 to $0.74 against a 19 P/E. | 2005-12-08 | |
