| WAIT | Apple | AAPL-Q | 413.440 | This one is in line with his model price of $385.50. Even looking out a year, his model price is $425. If you are a trader and if the market got hit with any sort of correction $345 would be an absolute bargain. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| HOLD | BCE Inc. | BCE-T | 42.280 | If you own, he would hang on to this only because this is where the money flow is going. To him it is big-time overpriced. His model price is $30.09 almost a negative 30% differential. If there was any kind of threat, it would pull back to $37. Feels that money flows are so strong that a 5% yield people are willing to buy it no matter what. He would be a seller at $46.51. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| TOP PICK | Cisco | CSCO-Q | 18.990 | (A TOP PICK Feb 17/11. Up 1.17%.) His model price is $24.18, which is a 30% positive differential. Low beta stock, which you are looking for in technology. You get the growth and a little bit of a dividend. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| DON'T BUY | General Electric | GE-N | 18.560 | His model price is $15.29 which is a negative of about 17%. Has never really liked this stock for years and still doesn't. They need to do a restructuring and a lot of that has to do with GE Capital. Thinks the stock still goes to $20.80. Stock has a beta of 1 so if the market goes up, this one goes up in sympathy. There are better companies elsewhere. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| BUY | Goldcorp Inc | G-T | 45.710 | Likes this one. His model price is $59.89, which is a 30% positive differential. On these pullbacks, it looks attractive. We could be in a period here where these stocks underperform while the gold price goes up. Feels that as stocks get cheaper, you want them in the portfolio. On the downside, it could get down to the $40 level but he would be more of a buyer there. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| TOP PICK | Johnson & Johnson | JNJ-N | 65.480 | His model price is $71, an 8% positive differential. He has valuation back to 1995 and you are buying at a discount to the model price. You have never been able to buy this one at a discount to its model price. 3.5% yield. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| DON'T BUY | McDonalds | MCD-N | 99.390 | Close to its all-time high. Usually around the $100 area, they split. His model price is $73.26. That is a 25% overvaluation. There are other companies in this area that you could still buy. Could get to $112 if the momentum is on its side. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Magna Int'l. (A) | MG-T | 34.200 | (A TOP PICK Feb 17/11. Down 37.85%.) Still likes and is at a good level. Even if we scratch around at 2% world growth, this company will do well. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Merck & Company | MRK-N | 38.340 | (A TOP PICK Feb 17/11. Up 21.17%.) Still likes but doesn't see as much upside this year. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| BUY | Pfizer Inc | PFE-N | 21.770 | His model price is $26.88, which is a 22% positive differential. Yielding 4%. This happens to be one that has valuation and yield together, which is great. His target would be about $26. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Royal Bank | RY-T | 52.950 | Why has it taken off so suddenly and what do you think will happen if European financials go down the drain? His model price is $50.28 giving it a negative of 4%-5%. People in US and Canada are looking for yield now so all banks will have some sort of lift because of that. Regarding Europe, we have already seen the results. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| TOP PICK | Suncor Energy Inc | SU-T | 31.450 | He has a model price of $57.24, an 85% positive differential. All these oil stocks got smoked in the latter part of 2011. Looks like this one wants to recover a bit. His target is $37.50. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| WATCH | Viterra Inc | VT-T | 10.980 | His model price is $16.67, which is a 55% upside but for him, he has to see you go about the $11.40 level. This is a cyclical and cyclicals sometimes do okay but this one is waiting for some good economic/world growth news probably. Possible target of $16. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| Comment | Teck Resources Ltd. (B) | TCK.B-T | 38.790 | His model price is $70.44, and 83% positive differential. He can see it in the short term going to the $45-$46 level. You could flip a coin on this one and it all depends on what happens in Europe. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | For people who want to follow when callers call in on specific stocks, they can go to apps.facebook.com/modelprice and you'll see the graph that Brian actually sees in terms of model price and other work that he does so you can actually see what he does and play along. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Capital Power | CPX-T | 25.510 | Model price is $18.91, which is a 25% overvaluation. This is a yield play at almost 5%. They are paying out, certainly all that they make in earnings. If there was a spike up in rates, these and other names would certainly be vulnerable. | 2012-01-04 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Caterpillar | CAT-N | 96.290 | Has a model price of $76.87 a negative 20%. He would be a buyer at $65-$67. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| TOP PICK | Cisco | CSCO-Q | 18.550 | (A Top Pick Jan 5/11. Down 33.6%.) $24.08 is his model price, a 30% upside. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Encana Corp | ECA-T | 20.650 | He has been negative on this stock for years, ever since the split. His model price is $13.24, a negative 35%. Will only earn $0.57 this year and $0.76 next year. Selling below book value, Dividend is not sustainable. | 2011-12-02 | ||
|
| |||||||
| DON'T BUY | Maple Leaf Foods | MFI-T | 11.230 | His model price is $10.82, which is right on the current stock price. Doesn't see much value here. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| TOP PICK | Magna Int'l. (A) | MG-T | 36.120 | (A Top Pick Jan 5/11. Down 8.09%.) Model price is $53.33, a 50% upside. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| DON'T BUY | NAL Energy Corp | NAE-T | 7.240 | They pay more than what they are earning and give a 11.6% yield. Balance sheet is okay. His model price is $8.67 giving it an 18% upside at the balance sheet is actually going down. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| BUY | National Bank of Canada | NA-T | 66.190 | His model price is $76.26, a 16% upside. All of the other banks are pretty well at or above their model price. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| WEAK BUY | Sunlife Financial | SLF-T | 18.710 | You should have a little bit in your portfolio. To him, the balance sheet is in question and there are write-downs coming. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| TOP PICK | Suncor Energy Inc | SU-T | 30.760 | (A Top Pick Jan 5/11. Down 18.1%.) His model price is $56.55, an upside of 85%. Very cheap. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Crescent Point Energy Corp | CPG-T | 43.680 | His model price is $21.07, a 52% downside. Analysts are coming in for next year's earnings of $.75 versus $.91 this year. He has a Short on this stock. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| BUY | Yamana Gold Inc. | YRI-T | 16.440 | He has a model price of $25.72 giving it a 51% upside. A core stock in your gold portfolio. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| PARTIAL BUY | Gildan Activewear Inc. | GIL-T | 17.320 | Closed yesterday at $16.54 and he has a model price of $36.70 but he has yet to update analysts’ estimates where they had warned. If the warning is just on sales, this is a good price. Would just do a partial Buy. If more bad news comes out, $12 is a possibility and he would be a buyer at that price. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Brookfield Asset Management (A) | BAM.A-T | 27.930 | His model price is $18.29, a 35% downside from its current price. Also its balance sheet is not that strong. Too much debt and not enough earnings for him. | 2011-12-02 | ||
| DON'T BUY | General Electric | GE-N | 16.140 | Has never been a big fan of this company. His model prices $13.75, a negative 15%. Hopefully over time they will shrink the GE Capital. | 2011-10-11 | ||
| TOP PICK | Corning Inc | GLW-N | 13.700 | (A Top Pick Nov 8/10. Down 26.82%.) His model price is $31.44, a 30% upside. Consumer play which is a big part of the business. | 2011-10-11 | ||
| TOP PICK | JP Morgan Chase & Co | JPM-N | 32.300 | (A Top Pick Nov 8/10. Down 18.59%.) Way too big to fail. Model price is $47.52. Quality name compared to others. | 2011-10-11 | ||
| BUY | PepsiCo | PEP-N | 60.950 | He has a model price of $50.61. A negative 18%. If you are a “Buy and Hold” investor, this is a good opportunity. Currently it is at a critical support level and he doesn't think it will get much cheaper. 3.3% dividend yield. | 2011-10-11 | ||
| Comment | Potash Corp of Saskatchewan | POT-T | 49.490 | He was praying for $38 but it is doing well today. Great buy level at $38. His model price is $54.58 a 17%-18% upside. | 2011-10-11 | ||
| PARTIAL BUY | SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. | SNC-T | 44.570 | His model price is $20.51. They have highway 407, which represents $12-$15 a share so it is kind of a holding company. When buy a partial position at the current price and if it got to $30 would buy the balance. | 2011-10-11 | ||
| TOP PICK | Suncor Energy Inc | SU-T | 28.850 | (A Top Pick Nov 8/10. Down 19.29%.) Oil sands stocks have been hurt more probably than any other. His model price is $52.72, and 87% upside. | 2011-10-11 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Yellow Media Inc | YLO-T | 0.200 | Even at the $6.37 level, his research indicated there was something wrong. They just announced a $2.4 billion write-off. Thinks it is kind of hopeless. There is so much information on the web that it is hard for media companies to transition their business. | 2011-10-11 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Crescent Point Energy Corp | CPG-T | 39.960 | His model price is $22.58, a negative 42%. People are so desperate for yield, they are keeping this stock up. Very expensive against its peers. | 2011-10-11 | ||

| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Markets. Since the 3rd week of August we’ve been in deflation. It's not about stocks, but about government policy, especially in Europe but will soon follow in the US. What is hopeful is that there has just been a big uptick in 10 year yields. | 2011-10-11 | ||
| Comment | Daylight Energy Ltd | DAY-T (Dead) | 9.640 | On July 8, he had this as a Sell with a model price of $4.55. The stock went down to $4.40. Just had a big takeover offer from Petro China. | 2011-10-11 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Abbott Labs | ABT-N | 53.330 | He has a model price of $57.97, an 8% upside. Good company but he sees a lot of value elsewhere. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| TOP PICK | Barrick Gold | ABX-T | 44.390 | His model price is $66.94 giving it a 51% upside. With the recent acquisition the model price differential will come down by about 15%-18%. Cheap at this price. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| WEAK BUY | Agnico-Eagle Mines | AEM-T | 60.540 | (Caller Would like to Short this using Puts.) Stock has been coming down to his model price of $57.17. Still a 9% overvaluation. Air is now coming out of the valuation but still too expensive for him to buy. He likes the golds. If it doesn't hold here, $46.60 would be a target but he expects it is time for a rally in golds. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| WEAK BUY | Bank of America | BAC-N | 10.700 | His model price is $17.65, a 65% upside. He owns a very small position in his US fund. His system is screaming that it's balance sheet is impaired. If you are a speculative investor, you could take a small position. They are the key to the job growth going forward. Need to lend again and get back into business. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Bombardier Inc (B) | BBD.B-T | 6.760 | Sold his holdings in this company. New IFRS reporting eviscerated the balance sheet. This now has a book value of $1. His model price is $5.95, a negative 12% differential. He would like to see their balance sheet begin to grow. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Cameco Corporation | CCO-T | 25.430 | His model price is $29.81, a 17% upside but he thinks it is going to consolidate here. If it broke below the $23-$24 level, he thinks it will go down to $18.50. At best it will trade sideways. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| BUY | Dell Computers | DELL-Q | 17.140 | A technology company that has been doing rather well. His model price is $19.92, 16% upside. Thinks it will move higher here, certainly to the $19.50 level. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Fortis Inc. | FTS-T | 32.500 | Model price of $24.57, over valued by 22%. Dividend of 3.57%. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| TOP PICK | Corning Inc | GLW-N | 17.860 | His model price is $39.38, which is a differential of 120%. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| HOLD | Goldcorp Inc | G-T | 48.460 | Rotating out of Goldcorp (G-T) and into Franco Nevada (FNV-T) for the dividend? This would be a big mistake. His model price for Franco Nevada is $26.31, a negative 27%. Very expensive stock. GoldCorp’s model price is $52.16, an 8% upside. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| BUY | Kinross Gold | K-T | 16.020 | He has a model price of $20.58, a 28% upside. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| BUY | Manulife Financial | MFC-T | 16.870 | He has a model price of $22.67. A positive differential of 35%. Speculative but would recommend a 2%-3% holding in your portfolio. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | 3M Co. | MMM-N | 97.620 | This is bang on his model price of $96.36. It will probably grow from here and he'll have a price of $110. That plus your yield gives you 10%-12%. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| BUY | PepsiCo | PEP-N | 69.930 | Model price is $62.45 and he would be tempted to buy this one. Would also be tempted to buy Coca-Cola (KO-N). They both look like good buys. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 27.800 | (A Top Pick July 8/10. Down 46.73%.) His model price is $70.98. iPhone 5 is coming out. If the news gets really bad he thinks this will go down to $20. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| BUY | Shawcor Ltd. (A) | SCL.A-T | 30.430 | His model price is $37.54, a 23% upside. Looks pretty good here. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| TOP PICK | Suncor Energy Inc | SU-T | 39.290 | (A Top Pick July 8/10. Up 19.31%.) Has a model price of $65.13, a 66% upside. Great buying opportunity. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | A T & T US | T-N | 31.140 | His model price is $30.93 and this is dead on. Doesn't see a whole lot of capital growth in this company. 5.5% dividend. | 2011-07-08 | ||
|
| |||||||
| PAST TOP PICK | Texas Instruments | TXN-Q | 32.880 | (A Top Pick July 8/10. Up 37%.) Sold his holdings in October for a 30% gain. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Whirlpool Corp | WHR-N | 81.060 | His model price is $87.28, and upside of 8%. He is finding better value elsewhere. If the economy gets off the floor, you may have a $100 upside but the downside is $70. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| BUY | Wi-Lan Inc. | WIN-T | 8.260 | The only looks at the top 100 on the TSX, so this one is too small for him. His model price is $14.07, a 70% upside. He would put a target on this of at least $10.70. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| Comment | TSX Group | X-T | 44.150 | He has a model price of $50, a 13% upside. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Crescent Point Energy Corp | CPG-T | 42.600 | He has been Short on this one for some time and it is now right about the cost where he has shorted it. Has a yield of 6.84%. Earnings are $0.56 this year. They're not covering their dividend. His model price is $27.70, a negative 35%. He thinks it's worth around $27-$28. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Markets. Expects a slow summer with acceleration in the 2nd half. Something like last year. Inventory numbers indicate that Q2 grew about 3% in the US, which is good, but it is slow growth. The only way to make money is to be active in the market. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Silver Wheaton | SLW-T | 34.870 | This one never got cheap enough for him to buy. He has a model price of $30.76, a 12% negative differential. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| SELL | Daylight Energy Ltd | DAY-T (Dead) | 9.340 | His model price is $4.55. Dividend of 6.42%. Slated to make no money but to lose five cents this year and $.20 in 2012. This company has failed his solvency test. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Osisko Exploration Ltd. | OSK-T | 14.970 | His model price is $16.50, a 10% upside. There are other gold mining companies elsewhere which he would recommend before this one such as Barrick (ABX-T), Yamana (YRI-T), Kinross (K-T) or Goldcorp (G-T). (See Top Picks.) | 2011-07-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Franco-Nevada Corp. | FNV-T | 35.880 | Rotating out of Goldcorp (G-T) and into Franco Nevada (FNV-T) for the dividend? This would be a big mistake. His model price for Franco Nevada is $26.31, a negative 27%. Very expensive stock. GoldCorp’s model price is $52.16, an 8% upside. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| Comment | Chesapeake Energy Corp. | CHK-N | 30.580 | Natural gas producer. His model price is $35.57, a 15% upside, so getting close to its top. Would let it go anywhere in the low $30's. | 2011-07-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Agrium | AGU-T | 82.490 | $87.17 model price, 6% upside, all kinds of downside if something were to happen. If it broke through $75.50 he would sell. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| DON'T BUY | BCE Inc. | BCE-T | 38.380 | They did a large write-off in converting to IFRS. Thinks it’s expensive. Model price $31.28, -18% differential. He thinks it is too expensive. They do have 5.5% dividend. If it comes back to the $37 level he would be interested. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| SPECULATIVE BUY | Cameco Corporation | CCO-T | 25.890 | Thinks a lot of speculators got into this name after Japan. Thinks there are a lot of speculators holding this stock now. There’s a lot of stock held in weak hands. He would buy it here if he was going to buy it. If it breaks $25, then it would go way down. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| HOLD | Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce | CM-T | 77.140 | Don’t buy any more until the $72 area. Be patient. It has a 10% upside, but it is above its model price. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| BUY on WEAKNESS | Cisco | CSCO-Q | 15.310 | Model Price $23.82, 56% upside potential. It is in his top 10 since March. Don’t be surprised to see it go to $13.70, and then buy more. There is pressure on management to do something. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Enbridge | ENB-T | 30.420 | $22.87 Model price. It is so ahead of itself in terms of fundamentals. If it ever got back to $22, it would be a great buy. It’s too expensive. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| DON'T BUY | General Electric | GE-N | 18.580 | Not a big fan. Need to get out of financial services business. It’s going to be very difficult for them to operate in this environment. It’s weak because the US banks are weak. Thinks it will perform with the market. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Halliburton Co | HAL-N | 48.980 | Model $49.52, same as value. Thinks it is a $57 stock next year. His preference is to look for value elsewhere. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| TOP PICK | Intel | INTC-Q | 21.760 | Model price $37.43, 72% upside. Have been doing record earnings. Announcing new products, and nothing happens. Earnings are going up, fundamentals are going up and no one is paying attention. If an Intel chip went into an Apple product, this one would go nuts – that is the only thing that is missing. | 2011-06-09 | ||
|
| |||||||
| BUY | Johnson & Johnson | JNJ-N | 66.780 | Cheap. Model $72.81, 9% upside. Good long-term hold. He finds more value elsewhere. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| TOP PICK | Microsoft | MSFT-Q | 23.960 | Model price $37.48, 56% upside. Hasn’t moved anywhere in 10 years. Employees with stock options are leaving, etc. They have to do something. He looks for something to happen as a catalyst but he doesn’t know what it will be. It is a good opportunity with earnings as predictable as they are. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| BUY | Precision Drilling | PD-T | 13.890 | Sees it going to about $20. Just bought it. Numbers look good. Model $21.68, 56% upside. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 36.650 | (Top Pick Jul 8/10, Down 29.00%) He said a month ago not to be surprised if it went down to $8, and here it is. Thinks it will hold here. Earnings out next week and much anticipated. As a value manager you can’t resist this one. Model $82.83. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| TOP PICK | Suncor Energy Inc | SU-T | 38.800 | (Top Pick Jul 8/10, Up 19.90%) Compelling numbers. $61.90 model price, 60% upside. Huge upside. Petro Canada thing is still going on. It will take years to rationalize the acquisition. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| BUY | Viterra Inc | VT-T | 11.080 | Model $17.34, 56% upside. Had great earnings recently. It’s not a grower. They could afford more of a dividend yield. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| HOLD | Transalta Corp | TA-T | 20.910 | Model $17.90, 14% negative differential. Dividend $1.15, with earnings estimate of $1.16. Next year is $1.24. 5.5% yield. Investors are there for the yield. If interest rates spike, these stocks are vulnerable. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| SELL | Teck Resources Ltd. (B) | TCK.B-T | 47.500 | It has come down. If it breaks around $43.60 level then potentially it could go lower, so sell. He said in January to get out of Materials. If there was a bubble pop in China and they went into recession, these stocks would really go down. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Thomson Reuters Corp | TRI-T | 36.550 | Is the definition of dead money. Over the years the valuation has collapsed to his model price ($35.70), -2% difference. Doesn’t see it move up or down. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Texas Instruments | TXN-Q | 32.910 | (Top Pick Jul 8/10, Up 38.70%) Sold in October and made 40%. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Crescent Point Energy Corp | CPG-T | 45.290 | Model price $25.32. Q1 was a loss. Yield is not valuation. People are paying a lot of money for yield. One of these days, when yield is not a factor… | 2011-06-09 | ||

| DON'T BUY | Oshkosh Truck Corp. | OSK-N | 26.560 | Model price $37.19, 40% upside. If it’s going to hold it will hold here. Has had a terrible 3 months. Would be more excited at the $20 level. | 2011-06-09 | ||
| Comment | CitiGroup | C-N | 4.520 | Just announced a 10 for 1 reverse stock split as there is no respect in having a single digit stock price for one of the largest banks in the world. His model price is $8.10, a positive differential of 80%. Market doesn’t trust the balance sheet of the large US banks.

| STRONG BUY | Canadian Natural Rsrcs | CNQ-T | 42.300 | Big fire in January caused a loss of 100,000 barrels of oil a day in production. Also, they are being hit by higher taxes of the UK.
