2013-03-21 N/A A Commentary A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert

Markets. Optimistic.  It will be a solid year for equities.  US economy is recovering.  China is bottoming and coming out.  Europe is a train wreck.  The two biggest economies in the world are going to show decent growth.  We may not be a leading indicator in Canada.  He was in Switzerland recently and had to say that that part of Europe seemed to be fine.  In Canada, he likes the consumer sector, and energy.

2013-03-21 BUY AW.UN-T A&W Revenue Royalties Income Fund

Likes it.  Owns a little.  Did not buy in accounts because of low volume.  Likes it because they are expanding and winning in Pearson airport.  Decent dividend.  One you put away and hope healthy eating does not entirely catch on.  Yield is safe.

2013-03-21 BUY BEP.UN-T Brookfield Renewable Energy

5.3% yield.  They did a big acquisition and are absorbing it.  Likes the family of companies and does not know what has caused it to dip.  He is still positive.

2013-03-21 BUY BMO-T Bank of Montreal

Canadian bank dividends only go up and it is only a question of when and by how much.  Likes them all but prefers TD.  You won’t see big banks in the next couple of years going a lot higher.

2013-03-21 TOP PICK CHR.B-T Chorus Aviation Inc

14.9% yield.  Largely sustainable.  May cut it a little.  Run Jazz under contract.  Air travel is picking up.  It is where it is because fair fax put a huge block on the sale.  Brokers that bought it took a huge hair cut.  People are anticipating a huge cut in the dividend but he doesn’t think it will be that big.

2013-03-21 BUY on WEAKNESS CLF-N Cliffs Natural Resources

Mining sector has taken a pounding.  China coming back is not enough to move iron ore quickly, so be patient.  It might go lower before it goes higher.  If you are patient, buying down here is probably a good idea.

2013-03-21 BUY on WEAKNESS EFN-T Element Financial

He has owned.  He is waiting for a pull back to get back in.  A good long-term hold but fully valued where it is now.  Get it below $8.

2013-03-21 BUY on WEAKNESS SCL-T Shawcor Ltd. (A)

They are in a sweet spot.  Getting rid of the share structure was probably a good idea.  This could be a good entry point. 2-4 year outlook on them is very good.

2013-03-21 PAST TOP PICK SGY-T Surge Energy Inc

(Top Pick Mar 19/12, Down 68.64%) Likes the assets.  Liked the management.  They didn’t do a bad job on the production side.  They spent over $100 million more in capital to miss their production target.  They were arrogant and not listening and thinks there will be a move to find other management.
