Top 5 Canadian Stocks To Own Right Now


Let’s get right to it, Village Farms International (OTCQX:VFFIF or TSE:VFF) has the potential to be the low cost producer in the Canadian medical marijuana industry. This investment is based on stages of development, which I plan to explore with readers and let you know, in likely the most transparent way possible, how I plan to “play” this player in this promising industry.

Village Farms International has been a producer of cucumbers, bell peppers and tomatoes for most of its history. The company operates in the hydroponic greenhouse’s industry and has facilities all over North America. It has a profitable history but had some recent issues as pricing has been weak for its core products. The big story here is that they decided to make a major play into the marijuana industry, announcing a 50-50 partnership with Emerald Health (OTCQX:EMHTF) pharmaceuticals for conversion of one of their main greenhouses in Vancouver (with option to convert more over time) which they refer to as “Pure Sunfarms”.

Top 5 Canadian Stocks To Own Right Now: Wells Fargo & Company(WFC)


Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By WWW.THESTREET.COM]

    I think that for the longest time we had a basic reluctance to pay more than tangible book value for almost any bank other than Action Alerts PLUS charity portfolio holding Wells Fargo (WFC) . Now, that’s the one bank we have a reluctance to do so–even though we are–and the rest are trading above book. Bank of America is now $3 above tangible book, after spending years in the wilderness. It’s almost as if the gating factor that had held these stocks back has vanished and investors want these stocks as growth stocks not value plays.

Top 5 Canadian Stocks To Own Right Now: 3M Company(MMM)

Advisors’ Opinion:

    Second, how will the Dow get to that big magic number? Well, the six biggest stock weightings in the DJIA are: Goldman Sachs (GS), 3M (MMM), International Business Machines (IBM), UnitedHealth Group (UNH), and Boeing (BA). What you will notice looking at a day like yesterday is that tech led the way sector wise. If the Dow is going to outperform, we need mega caps to outperform. We need those six stocks to outperform. So we need a day where financials and industrials outperform to get there. Given the trends in sector leadership, that is bound to happen…We are one Trump tweet talking about how yuuuuuuge Goldman Sachs is away from 20k.

    Time To Favor Optionality: Most macro data are similar to, or better than, when the merger was announced. As a result, the same returns have been obtainable, with significantly less stress, simply through owning 3M (MMM) or a basket of chemical companies that approximate the Dow-DuPont portfolio. Relative to the chemical sector, performance has been average, leverage appears reasonable but near-term FCF less-than compelling partly due to new capacity ramping. With the merger likely to close in the near-term (90% chance, in our view), we believe Dow-DuPont will have an opportunity to show how scale creates optionality. The overhaul at Celanese (CE) over the past few years shows the way.
