Note to not-so-Analytical Trader

This puppy is a real turkey, even if Michael Bowman on BNNTV "liked" this stock to-day, Mar. 05 . He seems to "like" 86% of the stocks he is asked to comment on-and that's no FACEBOOK joke. May I offer you two alternatives? First off, this puppy, YOY, is down 3.0%, while the TSX is up 12.5%. My two 'fav. "keeper" stocks are T.BYD.UN Boyd Income Fund (up a whopping 83% YOY and T.DR, Medical Facilities, up 27% YOY. All pay similar dividends around 6.0% and the MER for T.XTR is quite high, near 1%, wasn't it? That price drop for XTR in mid-Summer is quite shockig. Gulp.
