DON'T BUY

The problem with them is that there are a lot of moving pirates when it comes to the cost of their goods and the profitability that they generate. A very difficult business and the margins are very low.

SELL

This is a well managed company. There are a lot of sellers looking to sell. Avoid. Sell if you own.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

His model price is $18.12, a 22% differential but the stock will probably end up at $17.75. $12.80 is probably the bottom and that is where he would buy.

DON'T BUY

This is not the right place to be in this kind of market. It's a company that will continue to grow, but you want to be in something that's participating in this rally. This is more of a defensive play and this is not a defensive market right now.

DON'T BUY

An interesting company because you would think they should be making money hand over fist, but looking at the stock for a long term it's hard to get rich with this stock. Doesn't trade a lot. Low margins.

HOLD

The 200 day moving average is beautifully positioned. It just needs a little bit of rise. Towards the end of the bull market, attention goes towards consumer oriented stocks.

BUY

A little concerned about liquidity for institutions. With the Schneiders acquisition that could change a little bit. Food is a very good sector to be in and there aren't that many ways to play it in Canada.

HOLD

Their purchase of Schneiders has really helped the business. Profitability has been really improving, but unfortunately a few of the analysts have reduced their estimates going forward. Watch for signs that they are going to consistantly grow. A defensive sector, so you won't be too badly hurt by it.

HOLD

Had a perfect breakout in '03 and almost spiking now. Trend lines show a growth channel and it's near the top now. If you own, reduce on the next rally.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 16/04. Up 7.5%.) Still has a very gorgeous movement above the 200 day moving average. The consumers staple group of stocks is where people are running to when they feel the market is too high.

DON'T BUY

A well run company, but there are a lot of commodity aspects to it, so difficult in terms of pricing. Cyclical.

TRADE

Probably has some upside. Always looks expensive, but keeps going up. Good company.

TOP PICK

Towards the tail end of the market, consumer staples become attractive because investors feel that if they can't buy for growth they can go into staples. In a nice uptrend after breaking out of its base.

BUY

Very highly correlated to the price of pork bellies. Meat products are very highly demanded now in the current diet phase.

TOP PICK

Stock made a very good base in 2003 between $10 and $11.50. Has broken out recently and is currently above its 200 day moving average.
