The dreaded metrics from Morningstar…

Cash flow positive (and that's free cash flow) with no debt. Pay a dividend as well, that's rare for a company this size. Cash return of a sparkling 5.6 per cent. The Canadian 10 year bond is just over 2 per cent I think. A substantial premium. The stock seems to be a comer.

(A Top Pick July 21/16. Up 8.81%.) They make the lives of hospitals more efficient with some of their supply chain management work. A high recurring revenue. Earnings are expected to double by April 2018, going from $.24-$.51, giving you a 22X PE. They are free cash flow positive. ROE is very good at 24%. Feels this still has further upside.

This is in the hospital supply chain management. It has roughly $120 million market cap. They have 2 new modules, one for in-house pharmacies in hospitals, as well as operating rooms. It keeps track of where all the stuff is. That has doubled the revenue potential per hospital. Their pipeline sales over the last year has increased by more than the factor of 3. Year-over-year sales were up 26%. Year-over-year earnings, free cash flow and EBITDA grew over 32%. Dividend yield of 1.21%.

(A Top Pick March 16/16. Up 13.87%.) This is a great management team that has been around for a long time, and own quite a few of the shares. There was some weird selling pressure at the end of last year. He expects to see growth on a continuing basis.
