BUY

Really likes some of the US telephone service providers. There is a rebuilding going on at the network level that will allow the telecom service providers to charge more for the services and sell different types of services. There is also new content being pushed through the pipes.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 2/06. Up 4.5%.) He would have exited at $34 for a loss if he had owned. Still likes the sector and might consider getting into it.

DON'T BUY

The model price is $30.51, giving a negative 16% differential.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 25/06. Up 20.6%.) Actually up more than that as they spun out their directory division which would have added another $0.50/$0.75 to the stock. Good dividend yield. Likes US telephone prospects better than Canadian.

DON'T BUY

Would not own any of the handset providers. Prefers the service providers.

TOP PICK

Designed for a very short-term trade. Looking for $3 and the downside might be $.50. Has been on a fairly good upward trend. Had a drop in the last few days.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 11/06. Up 11.7%.) Good dividend. Earnings were a little disappointing so stock dropped which gives a great opportunity to buy more. Good for long-term investors. The most profitable and best run wireless.

PAST TOP PICK

It has increased 15-16%. It has the highest yield in the group. It has growth prospects that other companies don't have. They are putting fiber-optics in the homes.

HOLD

The risk is that they will have to spend a lot upgrading because of competition. This will hurt short-term profitability. They are doing a decent job and buying the right assets to make sure they’ve got a strong business. Probably some upside still.

BUY

Has been a difficult stock to own. Down significantly from $60. You're getting paid to own it with a 4.6% yield. Have done a good job of paying down their debt. A huge company, so difficult for them to grow their business. Good long-term prospects.

DON'T BUY

Not enamoured by telecom stocks. A very good company. Most of these companies have huge yields, around 5%. They will be involved with more and more capital expenditure and a lot of competition.

BUY

The wire line phone companies in general have not performed very well over the last 2/3 years, but they are not terribly economically sensitive, they’re cash flow generating machines and the environment is starting to improve for them. They are also getting price increases on their wholesale business. This is the best performing stock in the group.

TOP PICK

Dividend is almost 5%. High-quality and forward looking management. Investing huge amounts of money in fibre to the home to create large pipe as a conduit to supply lots of product that needs lot bandwidth. Have the best wireless company in the US.

DON'T BUY

Model price is $31.50 and was a decrease over the last several months, indicating fundamentals are not going up, but are actually going down. A negative 4% differential.

BUY

Good long-term hold. The second largest phone company in the US. 5% dividend. Undervalued.
