He owned it and rode it down. Was a very, very bad drop. 50-60% in a single day and then it kept going. He got out right away. Don’t expect a dead cat bounce. Has gone beyond panic selling.

Had a 43% miss on earnings. Cut guidance. Whole bunch of problems. Confidence has been lost in management. Yield of 31% so definitely the dividend is in doubt. Have more competition coming on. Demand for this kind of service is declining.

Not one of his best picks. Bowled over by the earnings announcement 3 weeks ago. Competition came in a lot sooner than anticipated. Decline is a little over done. 40-50 cents in dividends next year. If you have it, hold it and don’t sell during the tax loss season. Tax loss selling will be a big issue for this stock.

Tough part is that their business model has significantly changed. It was a growth and dividend payout darling. Numbers have been slashed now. Business model is a bit broken and timing the bottom is difficult. Tax loss selling candidate or sit tight and wait.

Came out with disastrous earnings. Canadian analyst raise earnings estimate 2 days before the announcement. The dividend is declared for Nov/Dec, but he would not touch this one.

Stock took a 50%+ drop last week because of a class-action lawsuit. Dropped their 2012 guidance by 30% in mid-November. Stock will be in the penalty box at best. There are concerns about the sustainability of what they are doing.

Owns a small position. Was attracted by Return on Capital and the dividend. Management has revised what its profitability will be and it is nowhere near as profitable. When you get a situation where a bad quarter comes out, there is a big, big overreaction. You are probably safe around this price. All the people who own this stock though are going to be looking to Sell between now and January for tax loss purposes. This one could even go down into the $4’s. Once the selling has stopped, it will probably go back to $7-$8. Accumulate this between now and Dec 15.

Has been a company name on people’s minds with the big sell off in the share price. They had very high margins and whenever a company has this it attracts competition, which has happened here. The bad results really caught a lot of people off guard and they are concerned about the dividend. It looks ok here but won’t recover any time soon.

Got out a while back. They under estimated the number of new entrants to the space. 18% yield. He has read that it is probably sustainable but he finds that hard to believe.

Controversial name. Large dividend yield. They are rental water tanks. Gross margins are around 70%, which will come down as competitors enter the space. Stay away from it.

Had it as a top pick a few months ago. Took a big hit this morning but does not know why. Company continuing to grow. Simple business – tanks to hold waste water from horizontal drilling. Good base of customers. Dividend is secure and it trades at a low multiple and high yield of 8%.

(Top Pick Dec 15/11, Up 31.51%) Above ground swimming pools for fracking. If they can double the amount of tanks there is room for margins to grow.

(A Top Pick Nov 14/11. Up 36.12%.) They have a patent and have 80% of their market and there is still only a very small penetration in their business. There will be competition so doesn’t expect they will continue making the margins they are now.

7.3% dividend. Has not owned in a while. An interesting story. Now you have several new entrants in that business and they are just trying to stay ahead. Can’t maintain their margins. Not in it.

Spin out of an oil and gas company that offered a service to other customers. There is a lot of concern by street as to whether dividend is sustainable. Payback is good – one year payback. Earnings growth forecast. This is why he owns the stock. It has to rise by 4% to get the all clear for his stop loss. If it goes down below $13.50, then it is time for a re-assessment.
