PAST TOP PICKH&R Real Estate Inv TrustHR.UN-T21.900(A Top Pick Nov 1/06. Down 5%.) Rents continue to go up and vacancies continue to do well. There is a larger debate as to where interest rates should be right now.2007-11-02
BUYNational Bank of CanadaNA-T53.640An unloved name right now for because of their asset backed commercial paper. Thinks the market has overdone it and has baked in the worse case scenario. Even in the worse situation, the target price would be in the mid to high $50 range. 2007-11-02

CommentPrecision DrillingPD-T17.000The classic value pick for the contrarian investor. Market does not like the energy services space right now. Over the long term, this will bounce back.

CommentRoyal BankRY-T53.900Over the long term you will be a winner with either Toronto Dominion (TD-T) or Royal RY-T). Fantastic retail franchises, which will really determine the winners in the banking space. TD has been knocked back a bit so you get a better valuation with it.2007-11-02

TOP PICKTrans Canada CorpTRP-T40.060This is going to be a great industry to be in. Investors will value stability a lot more going forward. There will be a sector rotation eventually into the ultra defensive names.2007-11-02

TOP PICKLe Chateau Inc. (A)CTU.A-T13.600A very cheap name right now. Investors are frightened of the retail space, primarily because of the weak US$ and cross-border shopping cutting into the margins. Same-store sales growth has been double digit. No debt.2007-11-02

CommentBell AliantBA-T30.910Secondary market landlines rather than wireless. Slow growth. A fairly stable earnings growth story. When BCE gets de-listed there will be additional demand as people look for other telecom names to go to. For better growth prospects look at Telus (T-T).2007-11-02
