Bruce TattersCCL Industries (B)CCL.B.TOHOLDJan 10, 2017

A packaging company for a lot of consumer products. Has done extremely well over the last couple of years. As long as the Cdn$ stays weak, it is a nice tailwind for them. There are some US competitors, so there may be some US legislation coming down which may drop the US tax rates from 30% to 15%, which would make the US competition a lot more competitive.

Likes it. They have had a good move recently. It fits into the industrial and material bucket. There is a stealth rally going on which is forecasting an improved economy. These companies have done quite well during the pandemic. Valuation is good, return on equity is positive, and the balance sheet is good. Could still buy it here for the cyclical recovery.
