2007 - The year of the sub-prime credit crunch, sky-rocketing OIL and the soaring Canadian dollar. Tough times for some. Not for the Inspector.
Had you bought every single stock mentioned in the Inspector's blog in equal amounts, at the time of posting, you would be up more than 19% today. Since inception in late June 2007, all the stocks profiled until the last day of 2007, have collectively increased in value approximately 19%. This includes a stock that was not recommended at the time of writing (Cameco CCO) and which negatively impacts the over-all result. This was left in so that even the most pessimistic analysis of the picks will hold up under extreme scrutiny. The results are the proof. Do not trust the Inspector: Trust the facts. Also not included in percentage are distributions payed-out by the various income trusts mentioned or divid-ends, which also negatively impacts the over-all result. In short, it was a decent year for the stocks mentioned.
Best performings stocks picked by yours truly: Hemisphere GPS Inc HEM; RIM; Potash; AG Growth Income fund and Google. Several nice conservative gainers in the mix: CML Health Care, Molson Coors, Tata Motors, Bunge. The biggest dog by far was KRY and should be sold - Chavez is a commie bastard. Canadian Tire is now also a sell. Several of the picks made in 2007 are down, but are still "buys" or, in the case of Cameco, is just now rated a "buy" by the your humble narrator: BCE, Boralex, GE, CCO, Petro Canada, Thomson, Royal Bank, Anatolia.
Below is the complete list (EDIT: REFORMATTED)
