Markets. There are some very clear and long lived themes that continue to perform very well. The companies that are highly economically sensitive are not doing as well and companies that are benefiting from monetary policy and have a good dividend policy. Investors lack income replacement. Highly cyclicals are doing well, but consumer cyclicals are benefiting. Companies and sectors where their ability to pay is improving are doing well. Telecom, Real Estate Investment Trusts, and Pharmaceutical. These companies are willing to pay out more of their earnings. He avoids materials, energy producers, and golds. Tweet finance |

When Interest Rates Go Back Up: Banks are good at managing their liabilities. Will not pose a problem. Higher interest rates allow them to widen out their spreads. Higher rates will mean economic growth and this will mean more loan growth, so you would expect banks to do very well. Tweet finance |

| 2013-05-09 | BUY | ALA-T | Altagas Ltd |
He has recommended a few times. Biggest single theme that he is invested in (energy infrastructure). This industry will continue to be revalued. There are a lot of analysts that want to look at the last 10 years, but the opportunity now is different and the growth rate is different. Assets are very long life and contracts have indexing to inflation. They have big new projects that will add significantly to their cash flow over the next two years. If your window is 3 years you get 4% yield and 7-10% dividend years. Tweet finance |

Thinks the value on the real estate is higher than they put it at. Prefers the US. The only risk is that it is a single tenant risk. But they are unlocking value in the short term. There probably is upside. Tweet finance |
