| TOP PICK | Viterra Inc | VT-T | 9.200 | Likes the food business. Will probably take a while to get it through $11 but as a way of playing the food business, it is one of the few and very well run companies that should do better. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| TOP PICK | TSX Group | X-T | 30.430 | (A Top Pick Feb 1/08. Down 34.1%.) Merger with the Montreal exchange was a good move. All the other exchanges in North America are getting hammered but this one is doing well. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| TOP PICK | Goldcorp Inc | G-T | 38.450 | Gold is the one commodity in this uncertain world that people are going to have demand for. The increase in the US$, of which gold is really just the flip side, is simply unsustainable. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Bank of Montreal | BMO-T | 27.160 | (A Top Pick Feb 1/08. Down 49.1%.) Financials have had a difficult time and have not gotten any better. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Teck Resources Ltd. (B) | TCK.B-T | 3.420 | (A Top Pick Feb 1/08. Down 90.2%.) Doesn't like the sector and doesn't think there is a lot to drive this to get a whole lot better. Extremely speculative. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| BUY | Agrium | AGU-T | 42.030 | Other than gold, food is the only other sector that he is bullish on. This is something that people just have to have. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| Comment | Canadian National R.R. | CNR-T | 38.820 | Canada's premier rail company. We are in a tough economic environment and rail is an economically sensitive sector. Performance going forward will be somewhat dependent a turnaround the overall economy. This has already been priced into the shares with the pullback it has had. If we stay at this level, the stock should do well. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| Comment | Yamana Gold Inc. | YRI-T | 11.320 | Apparently 4th quarter earnings report beat expectations by a wide margin. Thinks gold producers will continue to surprise to the upside. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| Comment | Manulife Financial | MFC-T | 10.000 | Have segregated funds, which they guaranteed the performance that you get all your money back after 10 years. Didn't do a lot in the way of hedging so their exposure to the market is considerable. However, if this market turns around, this company could be one of the best performing financials on the way up. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| Comment | Power Financial Corp | PWF-T | 15.950 | Holds Great West Life (GWO-T), which has less exposure to the market than Manufacturers Life (MFC-T). Also has the Investors Group (IGM-T). This is a way of investing in the market, leveraged to the market and if there is a turnaround this should do better than the market as a whole. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| Comment | General Electric | GE-N | 6.660 | Chapter 11 would be the last option they would go for. They have a little ways to go. You would need to see the car companies completely wiped out. Their financial services is a millstone around their neck. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| Comment | NYSE Group | NYX-N | 15.100 | Market share and margins are really the issue. The only businesses in the financial services that have done well are the exchanges. There are 40 different alternative trading platform systems in the US, which will be hurt even more than this. Has a global reach and involved in a wide product mix. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| DON'T BUY | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Q: Should I borrow to invest in dividend-paying vehicles? A: Although he himself has done it in the past, it has never worked out and he has never seen it work out. Specifically, you are borrowing short to invest long. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| HOLD | Talisman Energy | TLM-T | 11.380 | One of the best energy companies in the country but he is not bullish on energy at this time. His one concern is that they always seem to get themselves into the worst PR jams. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Canadian Oil Sands Trust | COS.UN-T | 19.120 | A bet on a company that is highly leveraged to the price of energy. At $40 a barrel, oil sands is hard pressed to make very much in the way of money. If you think oil is going to go back to $75 (which would take something extraordinary) you will get more bang for your buck because production cost is higher. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Cdn$: A tough one to call. Cdn$ has been weak because the US$, relevant to the rest of the world, has been so egregiously strong. No fundamental reason why the US$ is as strong as it is but is still being considered as the world's reserve currency. Cdn$ will ultimately be tied to energy prices. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| Comment | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 48.820 | There is something on un-Canadian about creating a high-tech company that really works. They get to a certain point and he worries that they can’t get any further. Margins are under pressure because of competition. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| SELL | Brookfield Asset Management (A) | BAM.A-T | 15.100 | (Market Call Minute.) Doesn't see real estate turning around for a protracted period of time. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| SELL | TriStar Oil & Gas | TOG-T | 7.920 | (Market Call Minute.) Doesn't like energy that much. | 2009-03-05 | ||
|
| |||||||
| HOLD | Stantec Inc | STN-T | 20.580 | (Market Call Minute.) Infrastructure type plays are going to be a tough row to hoe but this is a good company with a global reach. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| BUY | Wal-Mart Stores Inc. | WMT-N | 49.750 | (Market Call Minute.) Really likes companies that people use every day. Clearly this one is picking up market share from other stores. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| SELL | Eastman Kodak | EK-N | 2.450 | (Market Call Minute.) It would take a miracle to turn this one around. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| BUY | Barrick Gold | ABX-T | 36.990 | (Market Call Minute.) Really likes the gold sector. Still the 900 pound gorilla in gold. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| WEAK BUY | Jovian Capital Corp. | JOV-T | 0.230 | (Market Call Minute.) Beta Pro shares and ETF's have got a lot of traction. Market is just in its infancy on how to use them. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| HOLD | Yellow Pages Income Fund | YLO.UN-T | 5.140 | (Market Call Minute.) Have done better than some of their counterparts in other countries that there seems to be a lack of recognition. | 2009-03-05 | ||
| TOP PICK | TSX Group | X-T | 29.740 | (A Top Pick Feb 1/08. Down 36.8%.) Good proxy for the market. Oversold. Seems to have bottomed out and wants to have higher. Likes management. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| TOP PICK | Royal Bank | RY-T | 32.600 | Canada's premier bank. Good management. Continues to build its franchise. Hasn't been tagged with the US banking problems. 6.1% yield. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| TOP PICK | Agnico-Eagle Mines | AEM-T | 62.000 | Potential to increase production over the next number of years. Not hedged. Low cost producer. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Bank of Montreal | BMO-T | 31.630 | (A Top Pick Feb 1/08. Down 39.8%.) Have been buying this recently. Close to 9% yield and is probably safe for the near future. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| TOP PICK | Teck Resources Ltd. (B) | TCK.B-T | 5.820 | (A Top Pick Feb 1/08. Down 83.9%.) If you have to have a play in the mining/metals sector, this would be a good bet if things do turn around. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Sherritt International Corp. | S-T | 3.680 | Anything in the base metals sector is going to have a real struggle. His preference in mining would be gold. (See Top Picks.) | 2009-01-19 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Talisman Energy | TLM-T | 11.760 | Hasn't been hit ridiculously hard relative to the way energy stocks have performed but he is having a hard time being bullish on energy, as he doesn't see an economic recovery in the near future. | 2009-01-19 | ||

| Comment | SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. | SNC-T | 37.020 | Infrastructure has been a big theme in the market to some degree has anticipated this. Hard to know which company is going to be the beneficiary of it. You could also look at a fund that focuses primarily on infrastructure. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| BUY | Potash Corp of Saskatchewan | POT-T | 89.250 | The advantage with a food stocks is that there is not the stockpiling issue as there is with other commodities. Demand will continue to be fair. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| BUY | Viterra Inc | VT-T | 8.540 | Between Potash (POT-T) and this, he would prefer this stock as you will get more bang for your buck. Has been hit harder than it should have been. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| BUY | Ritchie Bros Auctioneers Inc. | RBA-T | 22.510 | Being a big auction house, you would think that in this difficult time, people are going to use their facilities more than they would have otherwise. One of the few ways to play a recession. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | US$: Our dollar is very much tied to energy prices and he doesn't expect it to strengthen against the US$ a great deal. | 2009-01-19 | ||
|
| |||||||
| BUY | iUnits S&P Financial | XFN-T | 15.470 | A reasonable way to play the financial sector. Relatively low fees. His own preference would be to own the bank stocks directly and get the dividends. | 2009-01-19 | ||

| SELL | Cameco Corporation | CCO-T | 21.750 | (Market Call Minute.) Wouldn't be a holder of this one right now. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| BUY | Wells Fargo | WFC-N | 18.680 | (Market Call Minute.) Thinks the US financial services stocks are a Buy. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| BUY | NovaGold Resources Inc | NG-T | 2.100 | (Market Call Minute.) Likes gold very, very much. | 2009-01-19 | ||
| TOP PICK | Shoppers Drug Mart Corp | SC-T | 41.630 | (A Top Pick Oct 24/07. Down 19%.) One that you can own on a sustainable basis. Every portfolio should have a stock that it can own over a long period of time. Increasing dividend. Great proxy for drug sector, consumer discretionary and consumer staple stocks. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| TOP PICK | Manulife Financial | MFC-T | 21.170 | Great international diversification. Well positioned in Asia. Good opportunity for a stock that has been really beaten down. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| TOP PICK | TSX Group | X-T | 24.140 | This has been a sentiment driven market. Anything could work out over the next little bit. Toronto Stock Exchange, options business and commodities business they have is well positioned. What ever works out in the Canadian market, this is a wonderful proxy for that. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Viterra Inc | VT-T | 6.630 | (A Top Pick Oct 24/07. Down 39%.) Thinks this will bounce back to double digits. Has been overdone in just the last month. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Montréal Exchange | MXX-T | 37.300 | (A Top Pick Oct 24/07. Down 18%.) Acquired by the TSX (X-T). See Top Picks> | 2008-10-27 | ||
| Comment | Boeing | BA-N | 42.360 | People will still fly but not as much. Company hasn't been hit as much as the rest of the market. Had labour problems. If we are really in a recession and it turns really bad and takes a long time to recover, demand for aircraft will turn down very sharply. Not wildly enthusiastic about this one going forward. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Oilexco Inc | OIL-X | 3.780 | Pretty tough to get financing done in any sector. His best bet is that financing will get done eventually. Not as strong on resources. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Canadian Oil Sands Trust | COS.UN-T | 25.710 | Question: If oil prices were $55 in 2009, which of Canadian Oil Sands (COS.UN-T), Suncor (SU-T) or Husky Energy (HSE-T) would you buy?Answer: Probably Husky. It is an integrated with a lot more diversification. Suncor is integrated but is mostly heavy oil. Canadian Oil Sands is entirely heavy oil. Heavy oil is the most vulnerable to the changes in energy prices. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Suncor Energy Inc | SU-T | 23.180 | Question: If oil prices were $55 in 2009, which of Canadian Oil Sands (COS.UN-T), Suncor (SU-T) or Husky Energy (HSE-T) would you buy?Answer: Probably Husky. It is an integrated with a lot more diversification. Suncor is integrated but is mostly heavy oil. Canadian Oil Sands is entirely heavy oil. Heavy oil is the most vulnerable to the changes in energy prices. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| WEAK BUY | Husky Energy | HSE-T | 30.800 | Question: If oil prices were $55 in 2009, which of Canadian Oil Sands (COS.UN-T), Suncor (SU-T) or Husky Energy (HSE-T) would you buy?Answer: Probably Husky. It is an integrated with a lot more diversification. Suncor is integrated but is mostly heavy oil. Canadian Oil Sands is entirely heavy oil. Heavy oil is the most vulnerable to the changes in energy prices. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| BUY | Coca-Cola Company | KO-N | 41.010 | This is something that people use every day. Stock has come off like every other stock. Feels that going forward these kinds of companies will probably be market leaders. The only thing better would be financials. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| Comment | Petro-Canada | PCA-T | 24.100 | Of the biggest players in the industry, this would be his favourite. Broadly diversified. Very cheap on a cash flow basis. Energy prices may continue to come down. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| DON'T BUY | iShares Xinhua China 25 ETF | FXI-N | 19.420 | 25 of the most liquid stocks in China. Would not be buying China in any big way right now. If there is really a recession in North America, China will not be an economy that is well insulated from it. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| Comment | Astrazeneca P L C | AZN-N | 36.620 | Doesn't know this as well as some of the others. Stocks he likes the most in this sector are Abbott Labs (ABT-N) and Novartis (NVS-N), which have good pipelines and good growth potential. | 2008-10-27 | ||
|
| |||||||
| BUY | Wells Fargo | WFC-N | 30.830 | Acquiring Wachovia (WB-N). Takeover deals are tough. Risk/arbitrage people have had their heads handed to them because spreads have widened so dramatically. As a retail investor he would probably Buy the big senior company that you know is going to survive regardless. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| Comment | Sherritt International Corp. | S-T | 3.200 | Cuban lobby is very strong in the US so doesn't think any new government will be cozying up to Cuba. Risk/reward is good at this price. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Encana Corp | ECA-T | 51.040 | Prefers the integrated producers. This is the best and brightest among the producer stocks. If you want some energy exposure, this is probably the one you want to have. He is not bullish on energy going forward. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| HOLD | CitiGroup | C-N | 11.730 | Big financial services stocks that have made it through this far are going to make it through. They are in a very enviable position strategically. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| DON'T BUY | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Gold Juniors: It would take a real collapse in the US for gold to reach $1500. If you feel this is going to happen, you're probably better off to owning the actual metal. When things start getting better in the broader economy, juniors tend to be the last things to go up. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| PARTIAL BUY | Teck Resources Ltd. (B) | TCK.B-T | 10.760 | Acquiring Fording Canadian Coal (FDG.UN-T). Good basket of different resources so if you like the resources sector at all this is a good bet. Has been nibbling away at this one. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| BUY | Urbana Corp. (A Shares) | URB.A-T | 1.400 | Disclosure: His company has a controlling interest. Trading at a discount to its net asset value in a sector that has been continually wildly oversold. If you want a participation in world markets, people will be happy in a year’s time. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| BUY | Wal-Mart Stores Inc. | WMT-N | 49.670 | (Market Call Minute.) Sells stuff that people use every day and is pretty cheap. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| HOLD | Cemex SA | CX-N | 5.780 | (Market Call Minute.) Not his favourite. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| Comment | Russel Metals | RUS-T | 19.300 | (Market Call Minute.) In this sector, it would be a Buy. Great dividend. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| BUY | Potash Corp of Saskatchewan | POT-T | 81.800 | (Market Call Minute.) Thinks it will have a big bounce back. Doesn't think agriculture is going to go away. | 2008-10-27 | ||
| TOP PICK | TSX Group | X-T | 48.500 | Merging with the Montreal exchange (MXX-T). The best way to participate in any economy is the stock exchange. If you believe that anything good will happen in the market, these shares should perform even better. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| TOP PICK | Bank of Montreal | BMO-T | 58.070 | Likes the financial sector. This is a bank stock that has really come off in price. Probably doesn't have any major issues but does have the potential of being one of the great takeover candidates if bank mergers are ever allowed. Yield of almost 5%. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| TOP PICK | Teck Resources Ltd. (B) | TCK.B-T | 34.900 | A lot of resource stocks have been hit by concerns of slowdowns. One way of participating in the resource sector in a well-diversified way. Undervalued compared to its global peers. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Montréal Exchange | MXX-T | 37.700 | (A Top Pick Oct 24/07. Up 18.6%.) Talks between Montreal and TSX had looked like they had stalled very badly last summer but looks like it is proceeding now. Going forward, the TSX (X-T) is the better bet. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Shoppers Drug Mart Corp | SC-T | 47.870 | (A Top Pick Oct 24/07. Down 10%.) Still buying. Doesn't see the falloff as a permanent setback. Business is very sound. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Viterra Inc | VT-T | 11.690 | (A Top Pick Oct 24/07. Down 0.68%.) If you want to trade stocks, this is one that is all over the place. The longer-term trend is up. Really believes a portion of all portfolios should be in agriculture. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| BUY | Shaw Communication (B) | SJR.B-T | 20.530 | As a momentum investor he likes stocks where share prices are doing well with a consistent track record of doing well. This could just be a correction because of the market itself. He does like communications and technology stocks in general. This could be a very good opportunity. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| Comment | Bombardier Inc (B) | BBD.B-T | 4.880 | This is a tough one. It is high risk. You will probably do all right. Still on its road to recovery. The business could continue building on the successes that it has had. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Iamgold Corp | IMG-T | 7.860 | Gold has gone over $900 an ounce and yet this stock is languishing at lower prices than it was a year ago. Prefers gold stocks that are doing well in a strong old market. | 2008-02-01 | ||
|
| |||||||
| BUY | Kinross Gold | K-T | 21.780 | This is a gold stock that is doing well in a positive gold market. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| Comment | Yamana Gold Inc. | YRI-T | 15.770 | Not totally familiar with the stock. The charge indicates it is doing well in a positive gold market. He prefers Kinross (K-T). | 2008-02-01 | ||
| DON'T BUY | BCE Inc. | BCE-T | 36.000 | Has been the subject of a takeover offer By the Ontario Teachers Pension. The market is clearly saying that the deal is not going to go through. As a publicly held company, fair market is probably in the low $30's. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| BUY | Urbana Corp. (A Shares) | URB.A-T | 4.150 | (Disclosure-Owned by Caldwell) There will be more consolidation of stock exchanges globally and more of them will become public companies. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| BUY | Potash Corp of Saskatchewan | POT-T | 141.950 | Likes this one very much. As a price momentum investor, this is probably the best momentum story that he has ever seen. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| Comment | Athabasca Potash Inc. | API-T | 6.190 | Doesn't know this one but on the face of it, this is probably good. Fertilizer demand is not going to let up anytime soon. He will be interested in looking at this one. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| Comment | Yahoo! | YHOO-Q | 28.380 | There is an offer by Microsoft (MSFT-Q). Deals take an awfully long time to do, particularly in the US. There will be a big, long, antitrust discussion and could take a year, even at lightning speed. If you own, considering that you gain $3, is it worthwhile holding? You might consider taking profits now. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| BUY | Toronto Dominion | TD-T | 69.030 | Interest rates are coming way, way down and banks do well in a declining interest rate environment. They have stated they are free of any sub prime entanglements. They have also indicated that their acquisition they are buying in the US is also free. Good dividend. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| SELL | Nortel | NT-T | 12.650 | The ugliest chart in the free world. We just sell and then find something else. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| BUY | Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce | CM-T | 73.480 | This bank will be fine. They have the capital injection and the worst of the subprime thing seems to be over for them. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| BUY | Bank of Nova Scotia | BNS-T | 48.830 | Canada's most international bank. Doesn't yield as much as some of the others, but you will get a great yield over the next year or two. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| BUY | Barrick Gold | ABX-T | 50.640 | Likes this one as it has clearly participated in the stronger move on gold. Globally diversified. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| Comment | Yellow Pages Income Fund | YLO.UN-T | 12.300 | Looking at the pullback that it has had, it is one that is well worth looking at. Although he doesn't own it, he is going to have a good close look at it as a possibly could yield and value play. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Imperial Oil | IMO-T | 50.250 | This company has limitations on what it can do. It is entirely focused on Canada. With energy prices, you would have thought would have done better over the last year or so. Prefers something more international. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| Comment | Tim Hortons | THI-T | 34.500 | Would characterize this as a good yield play although the dividend is very low. He could see it growing over time. | 2008-02-01 | ||
| BUY | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 92.320 | (Market Call Minute.) | 2008-02-01 | ||
| BUY | Rogers Communcations (B) | RCI.B-T | 47.060 | A technology leader. Gives the people what they want. Good operational track record. As part of a diversified portfolio, it's worth buying at this price. | 2007-10-24 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 120.310 | As a retail investor, it's too high to buy right now. | 2007-10-24 | ||
| HOLD | Canadian Tire Corporation Ltd | CTC-T | 93.500 | Stores within 15 minutes of 70% of the population. A darling of the Canadian retail industry. Not subject to a takeover because it's family owned. | 2007-10-24 | ||
| BUY | Manulife Financial | MFC-T | 41.250 | Likes it. Better way to play the insurance business is with Power Financial since it has a broader category. Likes banks over insurance, but still likes it. | 2007-10-24 | ||
|
| |||||||
| VAGUE | Sunlife Financial | SLF-T | 51.950 | Likes Manulife's chart better, but still likes this. SLF is still trading sideways, whereas Manulife has broken out. | 2007-10-24 |
