Future will be tough because of consolidation problems, fuel costs, etc.

Have to prove themselves

Major stake in Falconbridge which has a strike, plus start up problems on magnesia plant. Problems should be OK and stock is cheap plus 5% div.

Has been for sale for too long? Too uncertain

Too expensive

Have been in and out of this stock. One of the best airlines to own. Buy below $10

A good value. Divested of their forestry assets and focused on mining.

Has been for sale a long time. Not a fan

Not a fan of airlines. Problems if fuel costs, competition, etc.

Stock hasn't done much. Not worth much except for dividend

5% yield for a long term investment

Likes. Less cyclical than Magna

Skeptical. Don't expect a big bump. A lot of negativity now, so buy on dips

Buy before spring. Good for a 3/5 yr hold.. Short term = some risks

Need a long view of about 18 months for amalgamations
