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

The environment is so difficult for them. They are not making any money on the float. If it drops below $314, the market is questioning the viability of the balance sheet. The tide is going out. Put a stop in place.

DON'T BUY

Prem Watsa has been under fire lately. Their underlying insurance business will struggle under low interest rates to generate profits and income. Watsa's investments in the past decade have been dubious.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 05/19, Down 7%) He still likes it. It is a very well run company. Today their insurance business is as strong as it has ever been. They've been doing a good job monetizing some investments on the investment side of the business. It is trading at book but peers are trading at 1.5 times book.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 12/19, Up 2%) He still thinks Prem Watsa will deliver. FFH has a global reach and long-term commitment to India. $540-600 band is supportive, but he's looking for upside above $600-620. If so, this could go to $800.

DON'T BUY

Insurance and hedge businesses lead to some volatility in earnings. The chart doesn't show much, neutral, and doesn't indicate much opportunity. Can't see it going up or down. It's stuck in a range.

DON'T BUY

A catalyst? His model price is $571, so it is a little expensive here. The story is stale he thinks and expects it to continue to be range bound.

DON'T BUY

Three-year time horizon. He sold this, because it wasn't performing, failing to reach 2018 highs. Doesn't see a sign of that happening...yet. He's neutral on it, but look elsewhere.

DON'T BUY

He sold this recently. The stock has a pattern of bouncing off support at $550. That was broken recently so he exited. It may still rally back to $700, but he has moved his money elsewhere.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's suffering. It's a "black box" with insurance and investment sides; the latter has had a checkered performance. It had a big dip in the past 12 months. It does well in relatively poor markets, though. Maybe it's a buy on a pullback.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 16/19, Down 9%) FFH took a haircut from Blackberry's stock decline, but he still likes FFH. FFH's chart routinely bounces off $550 up to around $720.

DON'T BUY

It peaked in mid-2018, and has been in a downtrend since. Currently, it is testing a support level; watch it if it falls below that. Not excited about this stock.

DON'T BUY

He is looking at Fairfax India, where there is better value. There is better places to go he feels than FFH-T. They have been pressured by recent interest rate moves.

TOP PICK

It is trading at a really good level. The risk/reward is pretty good. Their compounding growth had been lacking compared to earlier periods but right now everything is lined up. (Analysts’ price target is $752.89)

HOLD

He admires the company. The problem the market has is that the earnings can be so erratic. In the latest quarter they had some non-cash gains due to consolidation. The value of the stock will follow the underlying book value of the company which has continued to climb over the years.
