Stock market dogs to consider

Taylor Asset Management
David Taylor is a fan of dogs. Not the feel-good furry kind, but rather, the down-in-the-dumps companies that no one wants to touch. That’s because Taylor wants businesses that have been mispriced—the ones that have fallen out of favour. He watches to see if a company’s been slapped with a lawsuit or if a sector suddenly goes through upheaval, like the energy sector is right now, and then he buys.

In company news, however, this week has been jam-packed. Tech Week continues: yesterday, Facebook reported earnings, South Korean electronics giant Samsung reported this morning, and Google and Amazon are also due later today. But there are plenty of reports from big global companies outside tech due today: this morning in Europe, Royal Dutch Shell was the first major world oil company to report fourth-quarter earnings (they announced more than US$15 billion in cuts), and companies from Ford to Visa to Time Warner Cable are also on the calendar…
