2013-03-25 N/A A Commentary A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert

Markets. The Cyprus situation demonstrates the complexities of what is going on in Europe. You can expect more dysfunctional commentary coming out of Europe. It is many different countries, a lot of different constituencies, a lot of politics involved and a lot of big problems that are very, very difficult to solve. Expect they will continue to muddle their way through this. Spain is a big deal. Once Spain starts to go, then Portugal starts to go, etc. Equity markets having risen so much, he thinks they are susceptible to shocks and wouldn’t surprise him to see selloffs on uncertainty.

2013-03-25 N/A A Commentary A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert

How does the volume affect the price of a stock? Some companies trade very well even though they have low volume because they are not widely followed. It does mean they can be a lot more volatile. On stocks like this, you should use price limits and be sensitive to the price you pay and be prepared to hold them for a considerable length of time and ignore short-term swings.

2013-03-25 N/A A Commentary A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert

Heard that central bankers printed over $12 trillion in the last 5 years. In 2008 and 2009, a lot of people were shown to have behaved very, very poorly and the central banks stepped in the breach to help a lot of people out. We continue to work our way through this crisis. There is no right answer.

2013-03-25 DON'T BUY BB-T BlackBerry

Not going to make any money this year and doesn’t know if they will make any next year. Even if they make $3-$4 a share he doesn’t think it will trade much better than 8X earnings. Has a wonderful product but are not competitive on a cost basis against some of their competitors. A one-product company and becoming less and less relevant for US investors to own. (Shorting this a little bit.)

2013-03-25 WEAK BUY BTE-T Baytex Energy Corp

Very well run company. Pays a good dividend, which is secure. You can buy at these levels. Volatile and are susceptible to oil prices. Thinks the heavy oil differentials they have been struggling with will continue to be a problem for some time. He wouldn’t have more than 5% in a portfolio.

2013-03-25 BUY on WEAKNESS CAT-N Caterpillar

(Market call minute.) Hold for now but if it gets down to the high $60s you can buy. Has some competition coming of China and mining activity is slowing down.

2013-03-25 DON'T BUY CM-T Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce

Has always avoided this bank. He always picks the ones that have performed the best over the longest period of time. Very large exposure to the Canadian consumer and this is an area that he has the most concern about. Prefers others.

2013-03-25 BUY CNQ-T Canadian Natural Rsrcs

Very well run company. Management team is exceptionally good. Have massive resources. Been struggling recently because of heavy oil differentials. Earlier had problems with the Horizon upgrader, which seems to be operating at a really, really good process now. Good balance sheet. They can sustain themselves through any economic cycle.

2013-03-25 HOLD CR-T Crew Energy Inc.

Impressed with management. Running a 27,000 BOE’s a day company. Hit some glitches so investors got negative on them. Well-run company and they are turning their problems around and looking at ways to create value. He could see it back at the $10 price range but if you own, he wouldn’t average down.

2013-03-25 HOLD ENB-T Enbridge

Continues to deliver great earnings. Great dividend growth. Expressed his concerns that they weren’t investing enough money in maintaining old pipes and they are now having to invest a lot more money to maintain their existing infrastructure. Thinks the Gateway pipeline is a dead issue. Just be careful. Their balance sheet is getting bigger and bigger. Be careful.
