Industry Update
In 2010 our top picks, as a portfolio and if held for the full year, performed
well ahead of the TSX Composite – up 20.5% on a price basis vs. 12.5% for
the Composite. Of our top picks, nine outperformed the index and seven
performed worse; all but one of our picks generated a positive return.
2011 has opened with an even better tone than was the case in 2010, as
much of the economic malaise seems to be behind us, although there are
issues of concern, the long-term risk being deflation and the short-term
risks likely more inflationary.
Despite the positive market moves over these past 18 months, our Head of
Portfolio Strategy believes there is still very good reason to stay long stocks
(vs. bonds) over the next 12 months, provided short-term market weakness
is not a concern and the Fed is successful with QE2/3.
We summarize our fundamental analysts' top picks for 2011 in this report,
including a full tear sheet of key fundamentals for each pick and a technical
view from Sid Mokhtari, our technical analyst.

Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
Director’s Overview
It has been a rollercoaster of a market ride over the past five years during which
I have had the pleasure of managing the equity research team at CIBC. By their
very nature, the markets consistently make successful and consistent stock
picking a challenge. The notion of top picks at a firm that prides itself on
delivering differentiated research is always a very public and measured test of
our capabilities, one that our investor clients seem to look forward to each year.
The first three years of my tenure as Head of Research, the average total price
return for the team’s top picks for each year had been underperforming the
benchmark TSX by a meaningful margin; however, this tide has turned in the
past two years. In 2010 our top picks as a portfolio (if held for the full year)
performed well ahead of the TSX Composite – up 20.5% on a price basis vs.
12.5% for the Composite. Of the 16 top picks, nine outperformed the index and
seven performed worse, although all but one of our picks generated a positive
return.
2011 has opened with an even better tone than was the case in 2010, as much
of the economic malaise seems to be behind us, although, as Peter Gibson
enumerates elsewhere, there are still lots of issues of concern, the biggest
long-term risk being deflation although the short-term risks are likely more
inflationary as the Fed wrestles with reviving an economy through quantitative
easing. Critical, in Peter’s view, will be the Fed’s success in keeping the bond
yield below a ceiling of 3.8%, the level at which equities will become pricey and
forecasting messy. With a strong recovery in the wider benchmark indices on
both sides of the border in 2009 and 2010, investors may have to settle in for a
slightly more reserved market. Despite the positive market moves over these
past 18 months, our Head of Portfolio Strategy believes there is still very good
reason to stay long stocks (vs. bonds) over the next 12 months, provided
short-term market weakness is not a concern and the Fed is successful with
QE2/3. In addition, the emerging economy theme for China and India positions
Canada’s resource economy to experience ROE recovery that should be quite
robust, although the absolute levels are being forecast to remain below those to
be delivered south of the border. Peter is forecasting year-end levels for the TSX
and S&P 500 of 14,800 and 1,384, respectively, suggesting that Canada’s stock
market will outperform its neighbor to the south.
For the year just ended, our analysts’ top picks, as a portfolio (if held for the full
year), performed well ahead of the TSX – up 20.5% on a price basis (see
Exhibit 2) vs. 12.5% for the Composite during the same period (1/11/10 to
12/31/10). Within our returns, nine of the 16 stocks outperformed the TSX
Composite Index for the period and seven performed worse, although all but one
achieved positive returns for shareholders.

Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
The highest Sector Outperformer return achieved by our analyst team, held for
the full year, was Jeff Fetterly’s pick of Total Energy Services (TOT–TSX, SP
rated), which generated a 106% price return for the full holding period. This is a
three-peat for Jeff in delivering the top-returning stock (full-year return),
although this year he didn’t recommend investors hold it for the full period, as
he downgraded the stock after a 33% gain through April 2010.
Despite a more active M&A environment, none of the top picks benefitted from a
big takeover premium that has been available in past years and something Jeff
benefitted from with his pick in 2008. We highlight in Table 2 those four stocks
for which we lowered our rating from Sector Outperformer during the course of
the year and those two stocks for which we had a change in analyst coverage. In
both cases, we provide the date and price of the security on the day the report
was released to the market and a calculated price return to that date. If we use
these returns (and pretend the investor simply put the cash raised from the sale
under their pillow), our total return for the portfolio of top picks drops to 14.0%,
still 150 basis points (bps) better than the Composite Index price return.
Avery Shenfeld and our economics team believe that we are still a way from the
stairway to heaven of big job gains that would reduce the unemployment levels
materially, but the recent efficiency push on the back of capital spending should
position the U.S. economy for better job recovery in the back half of the year.
While the economics team believes the Fed may act early in the year, it will not
be aggressive and will likely revert to “stand-by” mode until the end of the year.
In his most recent economics piece, Not Yet Heaven in Twenty Eleven, Avery
Shenfeld outlines what he thinks is in store for the coming year. Much of it is
expected to be the same as 2010, but with the U.S. generating slightly better
GDP growth than previously forecast, at just about 2.6% – led by a slightly more
confident consumer. This positioning should help to create an investment
environment that continues to have more stability.

Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
The backdrop in Canada remains better than we foresee globally, although there
is some concern over the strength of the consumer and their ability to contribute
to the economic expansion with the same vigor as they delivered in 2010.
Strong prospects for our resource industries and improving manufacturing and
business investment should start to shoulder more of the economic growth as it
is offloaded by the consumer in Canada. When we compare the outlooks for the
economies of Canada and the U.S., the economic indicators like GDP growth,
consumption growth, and unemployment rate suggest, in composite, that
Canada should fare better than our neighbors south of the border.
We summarize the fundamental analysts’ top picks for 2011 throughout the rest
of the report along with the technical view for each of these top picks from Sid
Mokhtari, our technical analyst. On behalf of CIBC, we wish all of our clients a
healthy and prosperous new year.

Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
We believe that by the end of 2011 the TSX will have recorded gains of
approximately 11.5% with a dividend yield of over 2% for a total return of
approximately 14% for the year. We expect that the S&P 500 will record a total
return gain of over 10% comprised of price appreciation on the order of 9%,
combined with a dividend yield of approximately 1.8%. The TSX should continue
to outperform the S&P 500 as a result of continued growth in the emerging
nations as the U.S. Federal Reserve continues to rely on quantitative easing.
Themes
By traditional measures, the U.S. economy is weak but should gain some
momentum in 2011. Most strategists would say the same for 2011. Presumably,
therefore, the longer that the U.S. is on the path to recovery then the longer
that BRIC nations will grow, albeit at much faster rates. Every year of economic
growth is another year of growing global oil consumption. Coordinated global
growth is clearly a leading cause of persistently higher average oil prices.
Understanding the link between quantitative easing and preventing bond yields
from reaching our estimated 3.8% ceiling is the key to appreciating how long
gold and oil prices and the TSX can likely rise. The benefits which Canada enjoys
as an exporter of commodities while benefiting from sustainably low U.S. rates is
obvious – The question is simply one of how long can the U.S. quantitatively
ease and can the U.S. begin to see self-sustaining economic growth in 2011 that
resembles the early stages of recovery witnessed in 2004?
6
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
To do this, the U.S. housing market must stabilize. If the U.S. recovery is taking
hold, then the U.S. dollar should strengthen. Nonetheless, we would expect
continued but slower appreciation in gold prices owing to emerging economy
growth, hence the US$1,580/oz. gold price target. Yet, we still believe that, if
possible, the U.S. government would still choose to push the U.S. dollar
devaluation below the recent lows. As long as quantitative easing holds the bond
yield below 3.8%, then more can be done which still pushes the U.S. dollar
devaluation further, in which case US$1,700/oz. gold is likely. It is more a
matter of understanding the Fed’s ability to continue administering quantitative
easing because the day that it becomes necessary to withdraw substantial
liquidity is the day investors risk forecasting chaos.
7
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
In fact, our view is a little different, i.e., given the sheer potential size of
emerging economies, it is a race against time to see which nation is more
energy efficient, can adapt faster, develop energy substitutes faster and
withstand sustainably higher oil prices longer than others. From time to time,
however, high oil prices should underscore the safe haven status of the U.S. and
act as a growth tax rather than a cause of secular inflation at first.
We would think that sustainably high oil prices actually contribute to weaker
U.S. growth relative to their historical experience and contribute to holding bond
yield in the desired rate (i.e., 3%–3.3%). The irony being that this level of bond
yields increases the likelihood of more quantitative easing.
Implications
At present, the 3.8% 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield level represents the level
of yields that causes the S&P 500 to appear significantly overvalued. At these
levels and above, we would also anticipate significant new pressure for U.S. real
estate prices. This is the dilemma the Fed faces and it is the direct result of too
much government and consumer debt. On the one hand, the U.S. desperately
needs a faster rate of economic recovery and, yet, if bond yields rise too much
then the risk of a panic in debt markets also exists. Exhibit 5 illustrates that the
implied ceiling for bond yields has been falling steadily for many years. Should
the Fed be forced to tighten because the bond yields reaches the 3.8% ceiling
too quickly while the U.S. economy is still relatively weak, then the risk of
another U.S. recession still exists, although even moderate tightening by the
U.S. would probably be perceived as a greater risk for Europe, resulting in
capital flow back into the U.S. Treasury market.

How Long Can The Fed Keep The Investing Window Open?
Our View On Bond Yields Below The Ceiling
As long as the 10-year bond yield remains below the 3.8% ceiling and U.S.
corporate profitability is rising, then we remain optimistic about the outlook for
North American equities. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield, however, has
recently been as high as 3.5% and it is likely that quantitative easing has played
a significant role in preventing yields from rising further. Since the year 2000,
there have been two massive collapses in the U.S. stock market. The first
collapse occurred from 2000 until October 2002. The second collapse occurred
during the housing crisis of 2007 and the banking crisis of 2008. Both major
market collapses were signaled by three critical observations. First, the 10-year
U.S. Treasury yield exceeded the then current bond yield ceiling. Second,
S&P 500 profitability had started to decline. Third, this decline probably resulted
from the fact that the Fed had tightened until the U.S. yield curve became
inverted (see Exhibit 7). On both of these occasions, the bid-to-cover ratio for
U.S. Treasuries was also at relatively low levels (see Exhibit 8).
By contrast, the recovery in 2009 coincided with bond yields at the low end of
our estimated range and forward ROE was recovering. The Fed had restored a
steep positive slope to the yield curve, trailing ROE was on the verge of recovery
and the bid-to-cover ratio began to rise due to the safe haven status of the U.S.
Treasury market demonstrated during the global banking crisis.
To assess the ongoing potential for the U.S. equity market, the first critical step
demands that we check Exhibits 5 to 8. We believe that, based on the fact that
the bid-to-cover ratio, albeit manipulated by the Fed, is at very high levels and
the U.S. yield curve maintains a steep positive slope, this would imply, for now,
the Fed can continue to quantitatively ease and hold the 10-year U.S. Treasury
bond yield below the critical 3.8% ceiling. This is crucial since Exhibit 6 for
S&P 500 ROE indicates that trailing and forward ROE are growing at
approximately one-third to one-half the desired rate.

Head-and-shoulder patterns are among a few of the patterns that seem to have
a demonstrable history of success. The simplistic implication here would be that
the S&P 500 goes sideways for several months, but finishes the year modestly
higher after the big year-end run-up in 2010. It would be a minor indication of
growing confidence and a sustainable expansion.

Preference For TSX Over S&P 500 But Only If Bond Yield
Stays Below The 3.8% Ceiling In The U.S.
Our preference for the TSX relative to the S&P 500 depends entirely on the Fed’s
ability to keep bond yields below the 3.8% ceiling. If bond yields are held in the
range of 3% to 3.3% then the Fed is able to continue quantitatively easing. To
the extent that this contributes to a further devaluation of the U.S. dollar then
this implies generally higher gold and oil prices. Since approximately 50% of the
TSX is comprised of the energy and materials sectors, the level of U.S. bond
yields and the ability of the U.S. to continue quantitative easing is a major driver
of potential returns for the TSX. Not surprisingly, therefore, Exhibit 14 illustrates
the inverse relationship between the U.S. dollar and gold and oil prices, and
Exhibit 15 illustrates the very high correlation between TSX total returns and the
commodity Index.

The goal is not so much for the U.S. to become an export-dependent country as
a result of devaluing the dollar, but, rather, it is a strategy that contributes to
lower interest rates for export-dependent countries and, in general, for the
world. This is likely to remain the case until countries like China face a serious
threat from inflation.
15
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
The sheer potential size of the Chinese and Indian economies, therefore, has
enormous implications for the average level of oil prices longer term and,
obviously, for investing opportunities in Canada. The U.S., therefore, is walking
a fine line between using quantitative easing in an attempt to re-establish
self-sustaining economic growth while risking much higher oil prices that could
derail both the U.S. and global recovery.
Sustainably high oil prices, therefore, are a cause and effect of quantitative
easing. Sustainably high oil prices are crucial today if the U.S. is to have the
economic incentive to lessen its reliance on oil before the emerging economies
become so large that oil prices are crippling. Yet, high oil prices are a growth
tax, which is relatively more punitive for other nations than the U.S. and in the
U.S. case can help hold bond yields down. It comes full circle then. Higher oil
prices can increase the risk of chaos elsewhere, thereby making the U.S. more
of a safe haven and simultaneously increasing the likelihood that the U.S. can
get away with more quantitative easing. In effect, we believe that the Fed's
ability to hold bond yields below the critical ceiling is the single most important
determinant of how high gold and oil prices can rise and for how long, as well as
how significant, the opportunity is for continued investment in these sectors. In
turn, these sectors are supercritical to the outlook for the TSX.

Up to this point, however, the materials sector has recorded gains as a result of
higher gold prices from 2001 to the present. Since 2001, we have argued that
the U.S. dollar devaluation strategy is ongoing and a main driver of higher gold
prices. In general, we believe that the Fed will attempt to devalue the U.S. dollar
for as long as possible and that this is the main driver for higher gold prices as
gold is often a currency proxy. We expect oil prices to trade in a range of
US$93/Bbl–US$103/Bbl throughout 2011.
17
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
In order, however, to minimize the impact of outliers, the table summarizes the
median values for each of the sectors. For example, median TSX profit growth is
a mere 0.11 standard deviations. The strongest profit growth is being recorded
by the materials sector at 0.22 standard deviations. The median value for
financial sector profit growth is 0.19 standard deviations, although the big five
banks in Canada are, generally, recording ROE declines on a trailing basis.
Therefore, the weighted average return on equity for the sector is unchanged.
This is also significant to the overall return on equity characteristics of the TSX
since the financial sector represents approximately 29% of the index weight. In
effect, we anticipate stable to weaker ROE and earnings for 30% of the TSX,
improving earnings for the energy sector (26%) and much stronger earnings for
the materials sector. This underpins our outlook for $830 aggregate TSX
earnings.
At this point in the cycle and given pervasive concerns about the U.S. economy,
it comes as little surprise that trailing earnings are now rising very slowly in the
S&P 500, while forward earnings forecasts are falling. It is likely that forward
Street forecasts will rise slightly so that S&P 500 ROE is likely to remain flat at
the currency very high levels (over 20%). TSX ROE, however, is likely to record
better growth but from lower levels (recently 12%, median 8%).

At present, we believe that these high cash holdings reflect concern about the
state of the North American economy and that these high cash holdings amount
to a war chest. If, however, the Fed can keep bond yields below the ceiling,
allowing more time for the U.S. economy to recover and for consumer
confidence to improve, then it is possible that these substantial cash holdings
are, ultimately, used for mergers and acquisitions, increased dividend payouts,
share buybacks and capital investment. It is simply a matter of the U.S.
economy appearing stable for long enough that U.S. consumer and business
confidence eventually returns.

To some extent, however, the U.S. consumer discretionary sector has also
benefited from exposure to value-added exporters. There is a large list of
blue-chip, large-capitalization, S&P 500 companies that are benefiting from their
exposure to emerging economy growth. Their links to emerging economy
revenues are fuelling significant profit growth in many cases. This should remain
a dominant theme for many years. Our counterparts in the TSX are the energy
and materials sectors.

For the purpose of this article, we are focused on our 2011 forecasts, our
recommended asset allocation and the implied total portfolio returns. We have
indicated target levels for 2012 but these targets are highly dependent on a
number of things as we go through 2011. The gold and oil price targets for 2012
and the related level for the TSX depend almost entirely on the arguments that
we’ve already made with respect to the level of U.S. bond yields and the need
for continued profit growth. We will look seriously at 2012 targets later in 2011
but for now our concern is with getting this year’s levels correct, i.e., 2011.
21
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
We have not yet changed our recommended asset allocation for the various
investor profiles outlined in the top right-hand corner of Exhibit 20. It is
extremely likely that we will change our recommended asset allocation over the
course of the next two to three months. This is especially true if the 10-year
U.S. Treasury bond yield level gets any closer to the 3.8% ceiling. In order to
provide some indication of our current view with respect to North American
stocks, bonds and T-bills, we have decided to focus on only one of the several
investor profiles.
22
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
according to our Scenario Analysis System (SAS) for asset allocation, we would
expect a portfolio with the growth-oriented investor profile to achieve a 9.26%
total return with a 10.25% standard deviation of returns.
Performance Attribution
Exhibit 21 shows the 65% total allocation to U.S. and Canadian equities, with
the remainder of 35% invested in Canadian bonds. The bar graph under the
performance attribution section of Exhibit 21 indicates that we expect the
majority of returns to result from being invested in Canadian equities in 2011.
The Canadian equity component is expected to contribute 5.83% of the total
portfolio returns of 9.26% but it also contributes a disproportionately larger
portion of the volatility for the total portfolio at 7.35%.
Optimization
Our scenario analysis system for asset allocation also allows us to compare what
our original recommended asset allocation would be with recommended weights
that result from mathematically optimizing exposure across all possible asset
classes. Our asset mix models play a very important role in determining the
timing of our exposure to a variety of asset classes. Our floor and ceiling
calculations in Exhibit 5 result from our asset mix modes. It should be noted
that we also choose to alter our asset mix exposure anytime we observe
significant changes in U.S. bond yield levels and North American corporate
profitability. We steadfastly believe that making changes to asset
allocation on an arbitrary and infrequent basis (i.e., once a year or once
every two years) is extremely dangerous in the current environment. As
we have noted often in the last 15+ years, long-term average equity returns
were expected to collapse and did collapse starting in 1998 (3.67% p.a. for the
S&P 500 since then) and, yet, the S&P 500 recorded rallies and collapses of
+57%, –50%, +94%, –57% and +85% since 1998. Understanding and
adjusting to these market moves is crucial to investor success.
23
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
Choice Of Optimization
Using our SAS optimization techniques, we can optimize the portfolio based on
maximizing return, maximizing the Sharpe ratio (return to risk ratio) or
maximizing the total portfolio variance. In the last example, we might choose to
maximize total portfolio variance in order to reduce the total perceived portfolio
risk. In every case, our optimization techniques are creating thousands of
combinations of portfolios in order to achieve the necessary combination and
resulting asset mix for our return for various objectives. We must stress that the
recommended asset mix depends almost entirely on our forecasts. The
objective, however, is to use the forecast return and volatility of each asset class
as well as the correlation between asset classes to see what asset mix is
required for our objectives. In our case, we do this to see how much our
short-term, currently, recommended asset mix varies from the one-year
mathematically optimized version based on our own targets and assumptions.
Maximize Returns
For example, Exhibit 22 shows our currently recommended exposure to
Canadian equities, Canadian bonds and U.S. equities for our growth investor
profile, assuming our optimistic set of targets for 2011, while calculating these
returns in local currency terms. If our goal was to maximize return for a 10%
maximum total portfolio variance over the next 12 months then we should hold
10% U.S. equities instead of our currently recommended 20% and 50%
Canadian equities instead of 45%. Optimizing the portfolio with the goal of
maximizing returns at 10% total portfolio variance would also suggest that we
reduce Canadian bond exposure from 35% currently to 15% while raising the AA
Canadian corporate bond exposure to 20%. Our likely changes in the next few
months should be guided by these optimized results. If we could simply set our
asset allocation and leave it unchanged for an entire year and assuming that our
year-end targets are all perfectly correct this would be the correct implied asset
allocation for maximizing returns for the total portfolio.

are becoming increasingly concerned about how far the North American equity
markets can go from here. As we have stated, repeatedly, therefore, our
optimistic outlook for North American equities, as well as our gold and oil price
targets and our Canadian dollar outlook are extremely dependent on the Fed’s
ability to continue to successfully administer quantitative easing such that it can
keep this stock market recovery intact.
27
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011
It is difficult to reconcile the trailing operating ROE on both the median and
weighted-average basis with the one-year forward Street estimates of ROE. The
one-year forward ROE levels are roughly 200 bps to 300 bps higher than the
current trailing ROE for the TSX. Crucially, this is not the case for the S&P 500
where the ROE levels are considerably higher than the TSX levels at present, but
there is no evidence that the S&P 500 ROE is expected to grow significantly from
here.
We would also expect that given the structural characteristics of the TSX and a
number of more favorable economic fundamentals in Canada, our market should
continue to trade at approximately 2 P/E multiple points higher than the
S&P 500. For example, our 1,384 S&P 500 target divided by $88 of earnings
results in a top-down price earnings ratio of 15.73 times. Although S&P 500
aggregate earnings are expected to rise from $79 recently to $88 by year-end
2011, there is little or no evidence of ROE growth. This could change if the U.S.
economy begins to demonstrate evidence of self-sustaining growth and
companies also begin to deploy the massive quantities of cash on their balance
sheets. It would appear, however, that during the next 12 months, we have far
greater potential to witness growth in TSX ROE from much lower levels than
those currently being recorded by the S&P 500.
Conclusion
To summarize, we remain optimistic about the outlook for North American
equities, but it is hard to imagine a time when our view has turned so
significantly on just one factor, namely quantitative easing. We believe that the
U.S. government is still determined to push the U.S. dollar devaluation further if
it can, but it can only do this as long as the 10-year U.S. Treasury remains
below the 3.8% level. All things considered, if we drew parallels with the equity
cycle which spanned the period from October 2002 to mid-2007, and given also
that the U.S. is emerging from recession, 2011 could resemble 2004. The S&P
500 was recording stronger ROE growth at that time and profitability was at
relatively higher levels, but then, as now, the key to sustaining the equity cycle
was the fact that bond yield stayed in the desired range. We believe, therefore,
it would be imprudent to simply set the asset allocation at the beginning of the
year and not consider the possibility of significant changes to the asset mix
throughout this year. This is really the test that the U.S. Federal Reserve faces.
We hope, just as the Fed probably does, that we begin during 2011 to see self-
sustaining growth with stable interest rates similar to 2004.
The equity cycle which began in October 2002 extended through the next five
years, ending in 2007. Other than 1998 and the stock market low of 2009, the
market tended to rise and fall over timeframes of about one-and-a-half to
three-year intervals. The current rally is now about 85% since the market low of
2009, two years ago, and the Fed must find a way of sustaining the economic
expansion and stock market rally for, at least, another two to three years.
Admittedly, its actions are unprecedented, but, so far, the magic of quantitative
easing is working.
