N/AA Comment -- General Comments From an ExpertA Commentary0.020How do you make money these days: Dividends! He looks all over N.A. for free cash flow, distribution or dividend, strong balance sheet. 2010-08-25
BUY on WEAKNESSCanadian Oil Sands TrustCOS.UN-T25.290The .UN that people are fixated in is leaving at the end of 2010 but it doesn’t change the nature of the dividend. Comfortable with the cash flow stream. All large cap energy stocks are breaking down. 2010-08-25
CommentFuturemed Healthcare Income FundFMD.UN-T8.000Rarely sells after an earnings disappointment. Doesn’t think there is a structural problem with the business. They need to get some clarity on how they will transition into what is in effect a new business model where they will have a growth side. 2010-08-25
BUYAecon Group IncARE-T11.270Bullish on infrastructure re-build. Continued government spending is very favorable for them.2010-08-25
DON'T BUYTrans Canada CorpTRP-T37.330The electric business is in the share price. Gas production is being increased in the US and pushing out Canadian exported gas and that is gas that would be on the trans-Canada main line. Prefers Enbridge.2010-08-25
BUYNAL Oil & Gas TrustNAE.UN-T9.960In any commodity based income trust, you cannot say a dividend is safe. NAL going into 2011 is likely going to maintain its current dividend but there is always risk it could be reduced if the commodity price falls. 2010-08-25
BUYNew Flyer Industries Inc.NFI.UN-T11.160Continues to like them. Just signed a big contract with the City of New York. The backlog is the largest he has ever seen it. 2010-08-25
SELLManulife FinancialMFC-T11.770Both MFC and SLF have exposure to an annuity product that was sold during the bull market. People are fixated on the hedging on this.

BUYPengrowth Energy TrustPGF.UN-T10.050Has a substantial position. Likes the transition in management. Company is being transitioned to a new business model. What likes about it is that it has a really good asset base. Distribution can be maintained barring a drop in commodity prices.2010-08-25
TOP PICKIntelINTC-Q18.480Global, no net debt, ROE of 22.5%, 9% earnings yield, 11 P/E and 3.4% dividend. If your time-line is 3-10 years you want to own this. It’s cheap.

TOP PICKWal-Mart Stores Inc.WMT-N51.5509% growth on a global company. If you agree with concept that we are looking at a declining standard of living in the western world, they will benefit, not high-end retailers. 13x PE, 2.4% dividend, ROE of over 22%. Risk would be a severe double dip and increased unemployment. 2010-08-25

TOP PICKNewalta Income FundNAL-T9.610Waste management. A fallen angel. Balance sheet got a little wonky couple of years ago and they had to take costs out of the system and cut their distribution.

TOP PICKNorth West Company FundNWF.UN-T18.960Northern community stores. There is a young, fast-growing population as well as new energy/Mining projects. 7.14% distribution will be cut in the 25% range.2010-04-23

CommentA Comment -- General Comments From an ExpertA Commentary0.020Investing style. His trades are for income.

DON'T BUYShoppers Drug Mart CorpSC-T37.450Just made an agreement with Rogers to sell their products in their stores. This is not enough of a material event to make a difference in this stock. Stock had a nasty downdraft because of the Ontario government's proposed legislation.2010-04-23

BUY on WEAKNESSBank of MontrealBMO-T64.930Capital ratios are good. Thinks we are in a choppy range bound market for a while. Market may want to correct here. Financials are the most concentrated sector on the TSX so they will be more volatile.2010-04-23
CommentA Comment -- General Comments From an ExpertA Commentary0.020“Sell in May and go away”? 3 worst months for the market are September, February and May so don't sell in May, sell before May.

HOLDThe Data Group Income FundDGI.UN-T9.550Printing. Good free cash flow business. Won't be able to maintain a 12% yield when it converts to a corporation. As a rule of thumb, use a 25%-30% cut.2010-04-23

BUYAgriumAGU-T62.620Looking at a good crop developing in Australia, concerns about wheat pricing and suppliers getting hit. He prefers Viterra (VT-T), which is handling as opposed to seed sales and fertilizers. Both are cheap stocks but be prepared for volatility.2010-04-23
