PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 23/18, Up 15%) He likes what they're doing, leasing out 56 planes and is doing very well. Likes manages. Pays a good dividend. The stock has pulled back a bit because the market suspects they will tap the equity markets to expand.

BUY

They're #2 in Canadian regional planes and growing solidly run by a solid team. They also service Air Canada. CHR has a stable cash flow so the near-7% dividend is safe. A good stock.

BUY

If there were an economic downturn should they do fine / dividend safe? They recently renegotiated with Air Canada. It is basically a cost-plus contract. They run the flights and get reimbursed for them. The other side of the business is aircraft leasing. It is a newer side but he thinks they can sustain it through any sort of a downturn. He likes the dividend and thinks it is safe.

TOP PICK

More money will chase yield stocks like this. This pay 6.9% on a 55% payout ratio. Six months ago, they extended their Air Canada deal to 2035. AC bears the load-factor risk, and Chorus will see very steady results. Chrous's airplane leasing business offers attractive spreads; AC invested $100 million here. (Analysts’ price target is $9.34)

BUY

Is it a good candidate for the RRSP account? In the leasing business of the chartered planes. Pays a healthy dividend in the high 6. He owns it in the cash flow portfolio. They don't have the worries of fuel and so on.

BUY

Dividend safe? The payout ratio is in the high 50% level -- it should be safe. They extended their agreement with Air Canada to 2035 and received capital for their leasing business. He likes the stock and thinks it trades undervalued and the dividend could increase. Their earnings are not as correlated to the economy as with Air Canada, so he has made this his largest equity position.

BUY

Westjet impacts? He owns this for the yield. It is in the airplane lease business. They are the operator of Air Canada Jazz. The knock was the fear the Jazz deal was going to be renegotiated. That has been resolved and the agreement runs for 17 years. They have a great business model. The Westjet deal will not have any impact on them. Yield 6.5% (Analysts’ price target is $9.00)

BUY

Resistance at $8 in a positive patterns of reverse head-and-shoulders. The recent breakout above $7 is positive, and will likely move above $8.

BUY

A safe dividend. Their legacy business is steady from Air Canada which sustains the dividend. 18 months ago, they moved into a growth area: leasing aircraft and are doing very well here with a big profit margin. The airline business continues to grow. They will likely raise the dividend.

DON'T BUY

He's looked at this stock and likes the look of it technically. However, this has a decent neckline at $8 which has been tested, but failed to rise above that. It needs to break $8 before he buys it.

TOP PICK

A safe company late in the cycle. There was a lot of fear that Air Canada would walk away from Chorus like they nearly did with Aimia. Instead, AC extended their contract to 2035 and invested $100 million into CHR's aircraft leasing business. It makes no sense that this stock is trading lower than before as its company fundamentals have improved dramatically since then. Yield is 6.5%. Only a 55% payout ratio. (Analysts’ price target is $9.36)

TOP PICK

This is his boring pick. It operates some of the Express features for Air Canada. Fee based fixed type of contract where the jet fuel variations are pass through. Good yield of 6.61%. Well liked on the Street. Estimated P/E is 10.5 (Analysts’ price target is $9.36)

COMMENT

Doesn't know this well. It pays a safe, decent yield. It ran up recently. One question is renewing their Air Canada deal later and renewals make investors jittery.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 23/18, Up 13%) Likes their dividend. They extended their CPA agreement with Air Canada to 2035 which gives them a lot of stable free cash flow. They put this cash into buying airplanes and leasing them at attracive rates.

BUY

He owns this name. They just went through the resigning capacity with Air Canada. They now have a long term arrangement with Air Canada. However they sacrificed some of their earnings for this long term arrangement. The dividend payout is safe. He likes this name. Air Canada took and equity interest in Chorus.
