BUY

Getting a smart phone but the whole iPhone market is getting a little bit crowded. 6.2% dividend. Primarily a yield play. Expect there will be a lot of money sloshing out of the high beta stocks and into the low beta in 2010.

DON'T BUY

Suffered quite a bit in their earnings forecasts. Flattened out a little bit but are now oozing down again. Could see it going down to $26.

BUY

There is currency risk, but he likes it because of the growth factor. Invested heavily in fiber to the homes. He likes that growth potential. It is a defensive stock.

COMMENT

Very good at managing cash flow so it is good for growth and protection of dividend so dividend should be safe. 5.8% yield. Growth is going to be challenged because of problems on the enterprise side. Wire line side continues to lose lines.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 30/08. Down 15.63%.) Likes outlook for their wireless, which they own 50% of. Their fibre to the home is expensive to roll out but is proving to be profitable. Good long-term hold.

TOP PICK

$90 billion market cap. Trading at 5 X cash flow. Has been behaving better than its peers and the group is behaving better than the market. Their wireless growth is attractive. Also have an opportunity in the Internet TV space, which they can fund internally.

BUY

2 parts to this company. Wireless and wire line/cable. Spending over $19 billion to bring fibre to the home so that they will be the leading content provider. Turning out to be very successful for them.

TOP PICK

Just reported excellent earnings. Came off recently because AT&T reported poor earnings last quarter. Investors thought these stocks were very economically sensitive but they are not. The leader in wireless. Spent a lot of money putting fibre into the homes but will be cash flow positive by the end of this year. 4.5% yield.

DON'T BUY

Very overvalued, like all the Telcos. He has a model price of $28.10. A 31% negative differential. He can see his model price going lower on this one.

HOLD

Good company, pays dividend, Premier operator in wireless industry.

BUY

This has been his favourite telephone play for some time. Have had the guts to invest 18-19 billion in fibre to the home in the US. They are also the best and fastest growing in wireless.

BUY

In the telecom sector, this would appeal to him the most because of its growth potential. Currently in the midst of spending up to $19 billion to take fibre right to your home. In the long run, this will enable them to offer all kinds of products at the competition will not be able to do.

HOLD

An interesting space with a lot of challenges coming at it. Feels the Internet will be pushing all the telephone companies pretty hard at some point. Probably can't go too far wrong holding this.

BUY

Spending a lot on putting fibre into homes giving huge bandwidth. 4.3% dividend. Prefers this to Canadian Telcos. The leading edge Telco in North America.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 25/06. Up 27.4%.) Spun out their directory business, which would be another $2 of valuation. 4.2% yield. Getting closer to a fuller valuation but he is still buying.
