Market Commentary

COMMENT

If a stock keeps falling, at what point do you stop averaging down? Depends. Some stocks are very whippy. Long-term, he likes NVDA-Q which has sold off half, but it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the stock long term. Others though, there is indeed something wrong.

COMMENT

For a senior looking for safety and dividends, what sector or ETF to buy? Buy U.S. tech. Valuations are still cheap, like Apple and Google. Amazon is growing rapidly. They boast strong cash flow. Will they be broken up? Will the earnings streams be broken? The latter answer is probably not; they won't kill the golden goose. Yes, he likes ETFs.

COMMENT

Market Outlook He suggests putting money into the "risk-on" assets. The market was weakening back in April and had cautioned clients pause. Now they believe an intermediate low has been established and are recommending capital be redeployed back into the market. Today's price action is likely a signal we are about to move to new all time highs. This includes getting back into the crude oil space -- especially the integrated companies.

COMMENT

Gold prices Gold prices are testing key resistance again at $1350 /oz. He thinks a pullback may be coming back towards $1300 soon and reaccelerate later in the summer to potentially test $1400 or higher. Trading in the mining space seems to suggest the smart money is heading for the exit right now. If you are patient you may be rewarded handsomely.

COMMENT

Which oscillator do you recommend? The MACD is the most commonly used. It measures the differences between a slow and faster moving average. Technicals are driven by herd behavior, so if you follow the more broadly used indicator you will better understand the moves in the market.

COMMENT

Oil Prices They recommended to buy back into oil back in February. By the end of April they recommended that oil was due to retrace and they moved their clients toward gold. Now he thinks it is time to get back into the black gold.

COMMENT

Today's Trans Mountain green light gives him some confidence in the pipeline. He expects more court challenges. he doesn't think the Transmountain will cause a huge amount of environmental harm and is likely safer than transferring oil by train. Also, oil pipelines won't be around one day as we transition to cleaner energy...Markets are up today Trump threatened China with more tariffs--this is theatre of the absurd, a crazy way of running things.... The US Fed: he wouldn't be surprised if they said they saw some negative numbers (i.e. unemployment). "We may see some negative indications, but we're not ready to cut....yet."

N/A

Market. A lot of people are calling for an emergency rate cut, but we are at full employment. Rate cuts at this point are pushing on a string. They are not going to work. It creates a miss-allocation of capital and bubbles. The Fed is saying they are considering negative interest rates to stimulate. We don’t want this here. The academics need to really rethink policy. There is an 80% chance of a rate hike priced into the market for July.

SELL ON STRENGTH

Lumber & US Home Builders. WOOD-N trades in the US for lumber manufacturing. It is in a downtrend. There can be a short up tick due to natural disasters. XHB-N plays the home-builders and suppliers. Both sectors have been beaten up significantly. It is not until the recession hits main street that these things bottom out. Anything positive since the last recession is a counter-cyclical really and should be sold into.

BUY

Gold. He thinks the Fed is willing to let inflation run hot. He thinks we are ready for a breakout in Gold. It is one of his biggest positions in most of his portfolios. He likes the sector here.

N/A

Canadian $. He thinks it will ping-pong from here. Ultimately it will head lower. This always hits the oil sector.

N/A

Educational Segment. Market Technicals – Market Breadth Analysis. The tech sector is by far the largest part of the S&P 500 (21.2%). It was 16.8% in 2016. 80% of the S&P earnings growth is from the tech sector. In the S&P 100, 50% of the stocks doing the heavy lifting are tech. The percentage of stocks rising above their 200 day average is declining. The market is being held up by fewer and fewer stocks and this is not a good sign. Weakness below the surface is being masked. It is not a good sign.

N/A

Market. Things are beginning to build up and it is time to watch what is happening with manufacturing, employment, and interest rates. Interest rates are not indicating good news down the road. He would not be surprised to see a significant market setback in the next 6 months to a year. Trade wars are having a profound effect on fundamental trade flows around the world. Businesses are beginning to leave China to some extent. This could cause a breakdown in supply chains.

WAIT

Canadian Railways. He does not have much of a position in either one right now. The multiples are not bad right now. He prefers CNR-T right now for its foot print and the yield. They are captive to what the general economy does to a great extent. He would wait and see with both of them. If either pulled back 15-20% he would take a more serious look at them.

BUY

Canadian Forestry stocks. Here is an industry that is in a bit of oversupply. Curtailing production should be good in the short term. We are seeing all of these stocks selling towards their lows rather than highs. CFF is selling at a fraction of the book value. They have had negative earnings of late. WFT-T is 1.5 times book. IFP-T is at book value but has a much higher multiple. WEF-T is trading in the middle of the previous two but with a much more significant yield, possibly not as secure. They all have reasonable assets. They are a decent value play and could stand to do well if we get a building resurgence. You have to be patient.
