Something to Buy June 2014

There is always something to buy in the stock market. On Monday, I put out a list of the stocks that I covered and showed what stock might be a good deal based on dividend yield. Now I am trying to categorize what sorts of stocks may be a good deal based on dividend yield.

Categorizing stocks is not as simple as it might seem. Every site you go to has categorized stocks a bit differently. I try to keep this as simple as possible. See my spreadsheet at here. As in other spreadsheets, you can highlight a line or a number of lines for better viewing.

Of the consumer discretionary stocks, Canadian Tire is now looking cheap. A number of Consumer Staple stocks seem to be cheap. Examples would be Dorel Industries (TSX-DII.B A) and Metro Inc. (TSX-MRU).

There are some in finance that deserve to be cheap, like AGF Management (TSX-AGF). MPL Communications has recently added CI Financial (TSX-CIX) to their Investment Reporter portfolio and is saying the stock is cheap. My list shows that on a historical average basis it is. Some of the banks still seem to be cheap. These would be National Bank (TSX-NA), Royal Bank (TSX-RY) and TD Bank (TSX-TD). Both Power Corp (TSX-POW) and Power Financial (TSX-PWF) are looking cheap.

There are a few cheap Industrial stocks like Finning International Inc. (TSX-TFF) and Toromont Industries Ltd. (TSX-TIH)

There are not many companies cheap in the Tech sector except for small companies like Calian Technologies Ltd (TSX-CTY) and Evertz Technologies (TSX-ET).

A number of energy stocks also seem cheap. Examples are Canadian Natural Resources (TSX-CNQ); Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX-CVE) and Suncor Energy (TSX-SU).

The infrastructure type utility companies are not cheap. What utility companies that are cheap, seem to be cheap for a good reason. Examples are Atlantic Power Corp (TSX-ATP) and TransAlta Corp (TSX-TA).

Of the Telecom Stocks BCE (TSX-BCE) and Shaw Communications Inc. (TSX-SJR.B) seem on the cheap side. I think that Manitoba Telecom (TSX-MBT) is cheap for a good reason.

On my other blog I am today writing about Ag Growth International (TSX-AFN, OTC-AGGZF)... continue...
