(Was a top pick on Nov 8. Down 1.5%.) Still likes. A prime take over target.

Very high risk. Only have a small portion in your portfolio.

For a pure play on commodities, buy Alcan or Cominco.

An interesting energy stock.

Natural gas has broken out. Any of the gas juniors, such as Baytex, Cdn 88, Viracocha, Gauntlet and Compton are good value. These juniors are managed by people who have moved out of seniors.

Relatively good performance. Dividend. Prefers others for better growth.

Relatively cheap.

High decline in reserve life and acquisitions are getting difficult.

Well managed, but prefers Magna or Linamar.

Has room for an upsdie in an economic recovery. Prefers Falconbridge.

Likes the metals at this time. Good dividend.

Easy money has already been made.

Good dividend. Better leveraged plays.

An excellant investment here for 3/5 year hold.

Good company. Great dividend. Cheap.
