DON'T BUY

One of the issues with this is that you have to feel comfortable where Loblaws (L-T) is as it is a very big chunk of their mix. Not a fan of Loblaws. It’s in a difficult situation.

BUY

Despite the fact that Loblaws (L-T) is the major component, Loblaws has changed management and upgrading their distribution channels. Have started buying this one.

DON'T BUY

Will pretty much track Loblaws (L-T). He likes the preferred shares, which he feels are pretty solid. Doesn't own the common.

DON'T BUY

They have to get their act together at Loblaws (L-T). Too early yet.

DON'T BUY

This is a question on how Loblaws will do. Wait a quarter or so to see how numbers are going to shake out. Senior executive changes were a little disturbing. Still has Wal-Mart competition to worry about.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 8/06. Down 20%.) This has basically being driven by Loblaws (L-T). He is weathering through the food orientation to discount.

TRADE

George Weston. Competitors have caught up to them, very competitive area.

TOP PICK

Buying a little less on return of equity, but paying a fair amount less for it. You have the food side through Loblaws (L-T), but you also have the bakery side.

DON'T BUY

This is a defensive play and the market seems to be gravitating towards defensive stocks. Feels there are better ways to play it until earnings get turned.

DON'T BUY

Principal asset is Loblaws (L-T) which has been struggling. Loblaw is doing the right thing on a long-term basis but execution has been very disappointing.

WATCH

Has fallen off because of Loblaws (L-T). Cheap at 13 X earnings and is becoming so cheap, that it will be a great buy at some point.

DON'T BUY

The key thing for them is its principal asset, Loblaws (L-T) which is currently way down. Their other operations are their bakeries that have high input costs. Of the 2, would prefer the purer play of Loblaws but wouldn’t buy either at this point.

DON'T BUY

Not a good chart. Owns 71% of Loblaws (L-T) whose chart is similar. The bakery side has turned around somewhat but is still not robust. Wait for the first decent “up quarter”.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Would buy it below $80. On his radar screen.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 31/06. Up 6%.) A cheap way to own Loblaws. There has been no change in its fundamentals.
