TOP PICK

A leading food/staple goods retailer in northern or remote communities in Canada and Alaska. Recently did an acquisition in the Caribbean. They tend to be the only retailer in a community so it tends to be defensive. Well positioned.

TOP PICK

Leading retailer of food and everyday products and services to the northern communities. Also have some operations in the Caribbean. Very defensive because they are the only provider. Strong management. Conservative balance sheet.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Focused on retail to northern and remote communities. Recession resistant. Made an acquisition of a similar company in the Caribbean, which is working out quite well. Near-term there could be softness in their quarter over quarter numbers because of the Indian residential schools settlement check last year. Outlook is quite good.

BUY

Operate the Giant Tiger and Cost-U-Less (?) Stores in northern Canada and Alaska. Prospects in the immediate term look pretty good. Good price.

BUY

One of the largest operators of Giant Tiger stores in Northern Canada so it is like the Wal-Mart of the North. Won't be affected by a cyclical downturn. Very cheap.

HOLD

Very good model for an income trust. They are often the only store available for long distances in the far north. Cash flow tends to be fairly steady. Influenced by the level of consumer spending. With the current outlook for a slowdown, the price has dropped.

HOLD

Very high-quality company. They are the leading retailer of food and everyday products and services in northern Canada and Alaska. Stable business. Conservative management team. Not cheap.

HOLD
