Markets. Getting a little more rational and a little less panicky. Gold seems to have stabilized and oil was up a bit. He will continue to try and get dividend income stocks into his clients’ portfolios. You have to be concerned that the dividends you get are relatively safe. Tweet finance |

| 2013-04-19 | DON'T BUY | ABX-T | Barrick Gold |
Lost all patience with this stock and sold his holdings. Very unhappy with the Chilean situation. Very political. 4.5% yield. Tweet finance |

| 2013-04-19 | TOP PICK | AGU-T | Agrium |
Thinks the Janna business is over with. Sales integrated with the product production is excellent. Well-run company. Global. Big in North America. Has dropped into a buying range. Good way to participate in a growing agriculture sector. Yield of 2.17%. Tweet finance |

| 2013-04-19 | PAST TOP PICK | ARX-T | Arc Resources Ltd |
(A Top Pick May 4/12. Up 38.59%.) This is one of the best managements in Alberta. Have a lot of gas liquids. Yield of 4.5%. Tweet finance |

| 2013-04-19 | BUY | BA-T | Bell Aliant |
Has this one in income oriented portfolios and is not looking for capital gains. Has been concerned about the coverage on the dividend but he thinks the dividend is fairly safe. BCE (BCE-T) owns a big chunk of it. Covers the Maritimes, Québec and part of northern Ontario. Have made good progress in the fibre-optic area. Tweet finance |

| 2013-04-19 | COMMENT | BBD.B-T | Bombardier Inc (B) |
(He owns the preferreds.) This is a stock that you always think should be a long-term growth situation. They make their basic money out of the transportation industry where there are minimal margins. They are great at this. The real kicker has been their airline division, which doesn’t seem to be able to get off the ground. Very tough market. Tweet finance |

| 2013-04-19 | TOP PICK | BCE-T | BCE Inc. |
Likes the telecom space. If you are concerned about markets, this one didn’t do much at all during the recent selloff. Dividend yield of 4.95% is quite reasonable and they have been great at increasing dividends. Tweet finance |
Price: $47.160 Subject: CANADIAN LARGE Bias: OPTIMISTIC Owned: Yes |
| 2013-04-19 | BUY | BTE-T | Baytex Energy Corp |
Doesn’t know exactly why it has broken down through the $40 level. Expects people may have got concerned that the dividend is potentially under pressure but he doesn’t see that. Heavy oil producer but has been quite successful in shipping by rail. One of the best, most efficient producers going. Will probably be adding to his positions. Tweet finance |

| 2013-04-19 | BUY | CNR-T | Canadian National R.R. |
This is one you buy for capital gains. Has a much more reasonable multiple than what you would see with Canadian Pacific (CP-T). Likes that they are quite active in the transportation of oil. Oil tankers are growing at an amazing rate as the pipeline delays are putting pressure on oil prices in Alberta. He sees US and Canadian economies growing in the 1%-2% range. There is a lot more interest in transporting at cheaper rates. Tweet finance |

| 2013-04-19 | BUY | EMA-T | Emera Inc |
Going to be a couple of years before there is an impact on the production out of Newfoundland that they are sharing in. Stock will probably be going sideways but he has no concern about the dividend. This will be a longer-term growth story. Tweet finance |
Price: $35.740 Subject: CANADIAN LARGE Bias: OPTIMISTIC Owned: Yes |
| 2013-04-19 | BUY | ENB-T | Enbridge |
Likes this. Dividend is not as great as he likes but they have been good at increasing dividends. All sorts of pipeline plans going on at the moment. Their long-term growth pattern is excellent. Tweet finance |

| 2013-04-19 | WAIT | GIL-T | Gildan Activewear Inc. |
Got nervous about this when the price of cotton got beaten up. That has all settled down. Management has shown again that they are great management. Good product. Have the market on T-shirts nailed down and he thinks that is likely to continue. If you are a long-term investor, this will do okay, but wait for the market to settle down. Tweet finance |

| 2013-04-19 | DON'T BUY | HCG-T | Home Capital Group |
This is a company that tends to lend to people where the banks won’t. They have done extremely well in the good markets that we have had in the last little while. There is a higher risk involved but at the same time, the company has grown very well. With housing a little more under scrutiny by the feds as well as the current slowdown, this would be a negative. He would avoid this one. Tweet finance |
Price: $55.850 Subject: CANADIAN LARGE Bias: OPTIMISTIC Owned: No |
| 2013-04-19 | DON'T BUY | HSE-T | Husky Energy |
Has come off with all the oils. If you wanted to get into one of the integrateds, this wouldn’t be his pick. Has been a pretty unexciting stock. Yield is okay. There are better places to go. Tweet finance |
Price: $28.130 Subject: CANADIAN LARGE Bias: OPTIMISTIC Owned: No |
| 2013-04-19 | PAST TOP PICK | IGM-N | iShares N.A. Technology ETF |
(A Top Pick May 4/12. Up 2.01%.) This has given him an entrée into the US tech market, which has lagged and where he wanted some representation. Tweet finance |
