The Globe and Mail attempts to identify good stocks in health care, industrials and technology (HITs) in its Friday, April 17, edition. The Globe's Ted Dixon writes in the Number Cruncher column that to make the final grade, his picks had to trade over $3 and have a market cap of at least $250-million. Mr. Dixon considered: valuations (past 12 months except dividend yield); price-to-earnings, price-to-book and price-to-sales ratios; enterprise value to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); price-to-cash flow; shareholder yield (buybacks plus dividends); insider (officer and director) commitment; recent net insider buying; personal holdings (excludes shares held for other investors); and insider intensity, based on the number of insiders buying. Intertain Group has the highest insider ranking. Chorus Entertainment takes second second spot. In third spot is enterprise software solutions firm Enghouse Systems. Cardiovascular device maker Neovasc is the top ranked health-care name and takes fourth spot. Mr. Dixon's other picks include Toromont Industries and Velan.
