BUY

Had their best year of all time last year and that excluded Avitar. They have 70% market share. Likes their Scene program, which gives the ability to buy DVDs, movies, etc. online. Doing a lot of good work in merchandising. 70% payout ratio. Yield of 6.17%.

TOP PICK

Done very well. Likes it. 3D movies are proving to be quite a hit. Increased their concession sales, which are very profitable. Good investment for an income investor and it is not commodity-based and 6% yield. Somewhat too sensitive to flow of product because of dominant position in market. Relatively low payout ratios and no payout coming when conversion to corporation.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 28/09. Up 42.3% excluding distributions.) There is great growth in the movie business. Recession proof. 6.5% yield.

TOP PICK

Likes the aspect of the 3-D movies, which gives better margins. Didn't have to pay for any of their new 3-D projectors. Payout ratio of about 57% so there should be no problem with them converting to a corporation. Yields about 6%.

TOP PICK

Recession resilient. Will stay as an income trust for the next 2-3 years because of their tax losses and distributions will be in place. 3-D is really adding to their margins and bottom line with ticket prices going up. Great management.

TOP PICK

DVDs bring a better experience for the customer, higher ticket prices and bigger promotional budgets. The studios are paying for the DVD installations. (Will have 1/4 of their screens in DVD format by the end of this year.)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 18/09. Up 43.16%.)

TOP PICK

One of the more attractive income trusts. Doing a great job of growing the media side of their business. Doesn’t think it will have to cut its distribution when it converts. It has a low payout ratio.

TOP PICK

You can sleep at night. This company keeps going up in down markets. They are recession resistant. Will stay as an income trust going forward because they have a lot of tax deductions.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute) 70% of theaters. Great market share. Doing well with Launch of 3D movies. Continues to hold.

TOP PICK

In the media space, the movie industry is doing particularly well. Cineplex are as good as they get in operating. They get about 80% of the revenue in Canada in the cinema business. Only paying out about 60% of what they get. They have tax pools that will protect the dividend when they convert. Not terribly economically sensitive. There is great growth in the business. 3D is really hitting home.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Apr 27/09, Up 30.32%)

BUY

Very nice yield at just under 8%. Expect they will maintain distributions that current levels after they had converted.

TOP PICK

Have 75% market share. Cash flow is great. 7.5% yield.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A bit expensive right now. Would try to buy in the $15-$16 range.
