BUY

A good name to hold. Has possibilities to do some interesting things. 60% of its EBITDA comes from the US. Stable and good management.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 23/06. Down 7.2%.) A good quality business trust. 4th or 5th largest waste management in North America. Q3 numbers show a 12% increase in Canada and 10% in the US.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 6/06. Up 7.8%.) Yields about 6%. The ideal business trust because of high barriers to entry, experienced management.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 5/06. Up 8.7%.) A quality name in the business trust area. Pretty fully valued at this point. Should continue to deliver pretty good growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 20/06. Up 13% plus the dividend.) A good solid business.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 6/06. Up 6.2%.) Nothing can be more boring, but stable, then hauling trash. Would still buy.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 2/05. Down 4%.) In an economy where there may be some de-acceleration of earnings, this is a defensive holding. Is good at making acquisitions. Good landfill holdings.

TOP PICK

They have landfill capacity. Made a big acquisition in eastern US. Earnings were up 14%. A nice, stable, defensive, boring business. An ideal business as an income trust.

BUY

Has been flat for most of the year. Payout ratio has gone down and he expects distribution increases. Acquired the Ridge Landfill in Ontario and may be the only one that could be a solution for Toronto’s garbage problem. This could give a nice increase in cash flows.

BUY

Payout ratio is reasonable at 85%. Recession resistant business. Management has done a great job in acquiring/expanding landfill sites. Organic growth is good at around 6%. Made a big US acquisition and have integrated it extraordinarily well. Hedged their US currency exposure.

TOP PICK

Waste management. The ideal model for a business trust. Has a lot of landfills. 6% yield.

TOP PICK

One of the better quality business trusts. 5th largest waste management company in North America. Made a number of tuck-in acquisitions but have also acquired some landfill companies. Should continue to see growth. Pullback gives a good buying opportunity.

BUY

Had a lot of growth. Now that growth has been captured, you should probably only expect to clip your distribution of about 6.5/7% a year. On top of that, you can hope for 2/3% growth per year. Could possibly move closer to $27/28 but may take a year. Integrating a large US acquisition.

TOP PICK

Waste management company. One third of their business is Canadian and the rest is US. Have their own landfills. Strong revenue and cash flow. Yield of 6.5%.

TOP PICK

A very stable business. Declined along with other business trusts. Very strong organic growth in both Canada and US. Have landfill in Ontario that could be called on for Toronto garbage, which could be an upside. Solid management. Payout ratio 85/80%.
