2013-02-04 N/A A Commentary A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert

Markets. The sell off from the comments in the Euro-zone is a buying opportunity.  It is interesting that we have had some of the same concerns over the last 18 months coming back into the market.  There is good macroeconomic data out there.  Would not be surprised to see the rest of the year do well.  When you look at how much money is in fixed income out there, and with S&P trading at 15 times earnings it is not a concern long term as money will shift into equities when interest rates rise.  Industrial sector looks very good, specifically in the US.  Manufacturers have a lot of cost of labour as employment is not increasing.

2013-02-04 BUY BMO-T Bank of Montreal

Good quality bank.  It is a dividend growth story.  Earnings in the mid to high single digit range so should be fine for income investors here.  Better than US banks.  It is a dividend clipper with half year dividend increases expected.

2013-02-04 WATCH CLC-T CML Healthcare

7.5% dividend.  One of the big laboratories with 30% market share in Ontario.  Recently cut dividend and they are selling some of their diagnostic assets, which he thinks are all good things.  But 75% of cash flows are from medical labs.  CML renegotiates contracts with the Ministry of Health and they are cutting back on healthcare.  The contract is being renegotiated this year.  Be cautious right now.  They are doing the right things so they are coming back to the core side of their original business.

2013-02-04 PARTIAL SELL WJA-T Westjet Airlines

Does not recommend airline industry for long term holds.  Doing all the right things.  A number of catalysts on the horizon.  Introducing regional carrier and premium economy class which could do well for the company.  Strong balance sheet and buying back shares.  Will continue to be a very good company, but management has to execute flawlessly because of expectations on the company.  He would think it would be prudent to take some money off the table.
