TOP PICK
Auto and security software. QNX was a drag on them this year, plus execution issues. Tremendous transition, but not reflected in the stock price. Refinanced convertible debt. Cheap way to play growth and internet security technology. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $7.27)
DON'T BUY

Handset's interesting, but how many people are going to go back to that? iPhone and Google are more competitive. So many other tech companies out there that are better. Just move on. There are better spots for your money.

DON'T BUY
He was a major shareholder many years ago. He's looked at the stock since then. They make cybersecurity, but there's so much competition here which limits their profits. He'd like to see a reason to invest in BB, but is still waiting.
DON'T BUY
An outlier among tech stocks, in a downtrend while tech is rising. Company transition has not been smooth, making less money and management pay is egregiously high. There are better tech stocks elsewhere.
SELL ON STRENGTH

He believes there are better opportunities. OTEX-T is a more interesting company. If you have made money then it is time to move on.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 03/19, Down 33%) Bell announced a deal with them today. The threat of cybersecurity has increased as more people work from home, and BB is the leader is enterprise security software. BB also leads in car entertainment and driver assistance software. They are a pure software play now with $1-billion in revenues, mostly recurring. He doesn't expect Fairfax to buy BB, but thinks there is a shareholder review now to enhance shareholder value. He feels BB is grossly undervalued. Trades at a low 2.5x revenues. BB boasts recurring revenues and high margins, too.
WAIT

FFH buying BB? He thought the rumour of FFH buying BB created a lot of volume, which made him suspect. BB has a lot of automotive exposure, which hold back their recovery post-pandemic. BB has a cyber-security division that may lead to some opportunities.

DON'T BUY
They've transitioned into software. They'll try to transition far enough until someone buys them out. Doesn't interest him at all. There are better software companies.
DON'T BUY
He trades it, but does not see it as an investment. It is hard to see where the runway is for them. It is not on his radar. The competition is just too great.
WATCH
Looks like they turned the corner in their last quarter after investors have punished them for revenues declining in 2019. Peers have grown faster, but BB is starting to look attractive. Look for a few more quarters of turnaround as they move more into cybersecurity. There's potential for mulitple expansion; it trades at 2.5x revenue vs. peers at 6-7x. You can start to pick away at it, but he'd rather watch a few quarters.
TOP PICK
John Chen should get CEO of the year--turning around this company into cybersecurity. He's done this while generating positive cash flow with cash on the balance sheet. They're growing revenues 15-20% a year in a highly valued field. Investors will wake up and recognize this transition. This will pay off.
DON'T BUY
It has several failed past rallies, like at $10. It'll be difficult to reach $12. Don't wait too long for $12. Be cautious.
DON'T BUY
His worst disaster of 2019. Failed to bounce, so he sold. The old support levels of around $10 are going to be resistance levels now. Series of lower highs and lows that don't inspire him to get back in.
WAIT
He does not own this one and thinks there are still in the restructuring phase. His tech holdings are in the US or offshore. He likes how they have been progressing with the restructuring, but thinks there is still more to come.
HOLD
They have not been able to totally establish themselves following the debacle with their phone technology. At this price level it is a hold. Nothing to attract him to buying.
