Canadian Capitalist

I’ve posted before that I mostly use The ValueLine Investment Survey at my local library to research equities. To a lesser extent, I also use S&P Stock Reports available free from Ameritrade.

Researching Canadian Equities is a little bit more involved. ValueLine does cover a lot of Canadian equities including the banks (TD Bank, Royal Bank, Bank of Montreal, National Bank, CIBC and ScotiaBank), energy (Petro-Canada, Encana, Imperial Oil, Shell Canada, Nexen, Talisman, TransAlta and TransCanada), inter-listed companies (Manulife, Nortel, Alcan, BCE Inc., Noranda, Kinross Gold, Inco, Research in Motion, JDS-Uniphase) and a few others (Bombardier, CAE Inc, Teck Cominco, Royal Group).

For Canadian equities not covered by ValueLine, the best resource is The Investment Reporter. The local library might have a subscription to the newsletter and key stock reports. The key stock reports is a one page summary of 5 year financial data, a 3 year price chart, a summary of The Investment Reporter opinion and their rating of the stock. I find it very useful for stocks like Investor’s Group or Loblaws that are not covered elsewhere.
