Market Outlook. He has been waiting for the correction that happened last week. Trade wars, ballooning deficits, telegraphed interest rate increases, all predicted that this would happen. He thinks the US tax cuts kept the market up this long as these cuts flowed through to earnings. He would not be sounding the all clear yet.…

Market. He radically cut equities over the last week from 100% to 25%. The market does not do well for the next 6 months: 'sell in May and go away'. The down drafts this time of year tend to be longer and deeper. On the S&P we are trading today below the 50 day moving…

Market Outlook A large oil stock build this week when a draw was expected has put downward pressure on oil prices. We have almost 100 million barrels more in storage than last year and another 5 weeks before the summer driving season begins. We might see another run towards the low-$50s for WTI soon. Be…

Market. He does not think there is anything more important going forward than the trade issues between the US and China. There is an important dinner meeting Saturday night and we will see how that goes. Trump is being urged to take a very hard line on theft of intellectual property. Any deal that does…

Market. There is a tremendous amount of concern around trade, the economy, news flows and there is incredibly defensive positioning in the market. In 2018 we came in hot and the rate hikes cooled expectations and we discounted some slowdown in trade. The fear at the end of the year was really over done and…

US stocks hitting record highs. Pushing to new record highs. Weaker economic data fuelling investor optimism because of more dovish Fed rates. From technical perspective, it's a bit frothy. US economic expansion is the longest ever, and will continue. No signs of recession in next 12 months. But good idea to push toward more defensive…

Arguably are looking at needing another correction. Revenues compared to last year are relatively flat. We are seeing a clear slow down in growth. So probabilities of correction seem to be increasing. Global growth is slow. We don't have China growing the way it used to. China was a driver to the global economy.

Market Outlook - The market has been desperate for positive news. He has never seen the list of worries so clearly documented. We need to position for the positive feedback eventually will arise. We had two big days in the S&P 500. Canada is having a rougher time because of oil correcting. He rejects the…

How are the markets? Markets are good, and so is the price of gold. So life is good.

Market. The message the market is giving us is that it is very tuned in to what the Fed is doing. A rate rise from 2-4% is a doubling but from 8-10% in the past, is not as big. It influences those using debt to finance their operations. Interest rates are the single biggest factor…

It's still not breaking out above $12, but if it does then it's good news. Huge. The longer the base, the greater the case, which could happen here after three years of a base.

Market Outlook It is difficult to sell all your stocks because you fear a trade war impact on the market. Don't move stocks into bonds as yields are too low. Diversification is key. Look for holdings with above average dividends. He still holds Apple and Alphabet. The FANG group has really taken it on the…

It's a tough market because corporate earnings are declining, the global markets is softening, yet valuations keep rising. American stocks are diverging from Europe and Japan. Buying the market won't be a good idea with valuations at this level. No doubt that lowering interest rates are driving markets now, but 10-year yields are already down…

As the cycle ends. The market pays for growth and Magna had a weak Q1 and lowered guidance. M&A hasn't worked out as planned. No doubt that car sales have slowed. They're in a very cyclical business and we could be at the end of the cycle. Managers are good capital allocators and will fix…

Market. He has worked in the auto industry in manufacturing. The auto industry is the scale industry. You lower costs when you build cars on platforms. Alliances and mergers help this. Fiat Chrysler's merger with Renault would be an example of this. Renault has electric cars out there, but he does not know if they…

The key theme is the apathy towards oil stocks here and around the world. Oil prices rally one day by 4%, but the stock climb only 1%. But oil falls 6-8% on a macro headline or Trump tweet. The volatilty is soul-sucking. The oil price is up 22% this year, but oil stocks are flat…

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…

Central banks being accommodative. G20, US-China meeting, and OPEC coming up. We'll see what happens. Probably not much. Market seems to feel that any news is good news, and it's just waiting to march higher.

Market. The US market is the best alternative for investment until interest rates rise. Investors are concerned about a bear market or a crash. Although we are seeing some of the highest valuations in a long time, where are investors going to put their money? US fundamentals are still very good. She sees 10.5 earnings…

Maybe step into Canntrust, now that it's near its cash value, but he doesn't know the specific values and he is only marginally invested in cannabis.

It was a boring day, though Asian came off a lot last night, but that's good for investors. This will allow investors to get back into the market to buy stocks on sale. He's neutral-slightly negative in terms of outlook and sees this time as a chance to take profits, build cash and/or but bonds.…

Marijuana. Doesn’t believe any of the current players will ever make money in the marijuana business. In Canada, we have to heat greenhouses in the winter and cool them in the summer, when compared to someone in a more temperate climate, who doesn’t have any of those costs. In Ontario, they are going to be…

PDAC, Toronto's major minerals conference happening now, is less busy this year because the show is charging investors to walk to the trade show floor and hitting booth traffic. The Barrick/Newmont/Goldcorp hostile takeover: there's a drive in this space to be bigger and relevant. Newmont would take on a lot of debt from Goldcorp, so…

Uber IPO. Opened up, and then down on the day. Despite the tariffs increase overnight, shows resilience of this market, as there was a massive reversal on the day. "Sell in May, go away" may not play out after all.

Market. There is a lot of commotion in the markets right now. Beware of headline risk. Separate the short term headlines from the long term story about China. The domestic policy in China is more important than trade wars. China started reflating in the middle of last year and it is now showing in the…

Market. He thinks we have a new head wind this year – the threat of inflation and risk of higher interest rates. Consumers’ biggest asset is their home and real estate, so this is causing some concern. The good news is that valuations are nowhere near those of the late 1990s before the tech bubble…

Market. Tech stocks are showing some weakness, and it is probably a decent opportunity to buy some. Some would say it is a crowded trade, but the reality is that we have a very slow growth world. The US just came out with their economic growth, and the 2nd quarter was 2.6%, well away from…

Markets. He is not worried about Trump not being able to get things through. The rally through since the election was based on Trump’s election. There is an issue with him not being able to get three major pillars of his campaigned through, but it has only been 120 days. We will not expect to…

Energy. OPEC is following through on its cuts for a 6-month period, but that has always been a murky issue. He thinks they are really going to try to do it this time. Looking at the world supply/demand balance, we are getting fairly close to being in balance right now. We have had growth in…

Markets. People are taking a second look at the Trump administration and wondering how long will it take to put through some of his measures. The market rally is not entirely about the new administration. What we have seen is optimism over the underlying economy and then how much more positive it will be under…

A huge loss on the markets today. We've had quite a year. Take a step back and keep perspective. US earnings were up 1.5%, mostly positive, and better than expected. Many have been shorting volatility. Even a tweet can shift things entirely. Trump's latest tweet, threatening more tariffs against China, is not a surprise; he's…

Market. Since the Trump election, there has been a lot of optimism about policy change happening, both in a tax and a regulatory front. We are now at a digestion stage. There is a lot of Senate confirmations on his cabinet in the next few days. This is followed by his inauguration, and analysts are…

Markets. It is concerning that Trump may not be able to do what he has promised and yet markets have rallied. Tax cuts could be positive on the earnings side, but he is worried about how they would be funded. Are there enough shovel ready projects out there? Reforms around health care are causing a…

Markets. You have to focus on growth. One of the big industries is infrastructure. Industrials also had a big surge. A lot has to do with military and the build out of America. The financial sector is pushing back on excessive regulation. The 10 year government bond has increase dramatically in the last 10 days.…

Markets. Real assets such as Agriculture, Real Estate, Collectibles, Commodities, and infrastructure are at their cheapest relative to financial assets since the late 1920s. When you look at some of the metrics on some of these you see monetary policy. They prop up financial assets. Emerging market real estate is really quite cheap. Depending upon…

US Market. Feels the market is heading towards a peak, even if you think in terms of cycles. Our last downturn was in 2008-2009. Before that it was 2000 into 2002. Before that it was 1993. The current market has risen for the most unbelievably absurd reason of all, i.e., nobody can get yield safely,…

Markets. The TSX has had a big run, which was powered by the 3 big ones, financial, energy and materials. We have just had a correction and he wouldn’t worry about it. It is a normal, healthy correction. The long-term chart showed a low in 2008/2009, a low in 2012 and another one this year.…

A couple of tumultuous days, with upward momentum today. With the decline in interest rates, volatility has to be expected. Going forward, it's important to be diversified. Don't be 100% in equities. Everyone's focusing on the market, but global economy continues to slow down. Populist wave in Europe. Similar to the 1930s economic turmoil. Geopolitical…

Markets. The back drop for stocks is not that bad. We had a volatile start to the year that we had to deal with. He reminds us it was like this last year. Financials almost everywhere in the world look good and are the biggest weightings in his funds. Commodities, especially base metals will remain…

Markets. We are in a bull market, but it is resting. In the market we go from a depression period to a euphoria period. During March 2009 we were feeling a depression period , but feels we haven't hit the euphoria period yet. You need to have a plan as to how the market is…

Producers are already saying they are going to cut back their production. Capitalism usually finds a way to make it work, but would like to see if happen faster. We need to get a better price. Royalties and government revenues are going to be significantly down. This is not just an Alberta problem, but a…

Economy. There is inflation in a number of different places that is causing trouble for the consumer to spend on discretionary items. Because of this, there is a fairly lacklustre performance on the discretionary side of things. Inflation is coming mainly from commodities such as food, metals, rents, etc, places where people have to spend.…

Markets. Resources continue to underperform. This is a reflection of the general economy. Low interest rates should filter down to the resources and have a beneficial effect. Europe is coming back from a two year slow down. Was positive one quarter ago. It will bounce around here for a bit, but lowering of interest rates…

Markets: Perception is that markets are weak and so we continue to see weak volumes until people think that economic recovery is sustainable. Correction? Don't fight the fed. Just about every central bank is doing quantitative easing: Japan yesterday, plus UK. The other problem is the fiscal cliff that is expected in January, but he…

Markets. The whole commodity TSX Venture has been extremely oversold. Juniors, in some cases, have lost up to 80% of their value as they approach zero cash position and there is some question about access to capital going forward. There are a lot of incredible deals out there right now but the market doesn't differentiate…

Hedge fund are relevant to a retail environment in terms of diversification. Alternative strategies and hedge funds add diversification, which is harder with the globalization in the markets. Hedge funds are very much misunderstood. 99% of guys running these funds are doing a fantastic job. You get returns that are not as relevant to the…

Market. Volatile market and it's all about Europe. Whether it's geopolitical risk in the middle east, the sovereign debt traces in Europe or the US economy. Expect it will be a turbulent several months.

People can short the index to hedge against their long investments. Concerns now will be noise a little way out. Good fundamental companies will do well in 2011 whereas the indexes may not. Options are a way to get leverage in a portfolio. Premiums associated with options plays are getting rich. In uranium there is…

Growing aggressively in emerging markets. Very cheap. Has chronically under performed and trading at its lowest valuations. Will benefit if interest rates rise, as he expects them to. Will be a very stable, low growth company.

A little weary of where we are. Globally we are at our near term highs. Except in Canada where gold might go a little higher. You need to pare back those ears of the portfolio that have grown out of proportion. The economy really needs support in the US. He has been taking some profits.

Timing the Market. Market averages is the net effect of all the money in the market. When it starts acting differently, going down, you are able to get out of the market. On April 16 the market changed its behaviour giving a series of losses on higher volume and giving lower lows and lower highs.

A proxy for gold bullion. Prefers GoldCorp (G-T) because of their production growth and low cash costs and are expected to increase production by about 50% by 2013.

Institutions are paying a premium for companies they believe can have production growth. This company acquired very interesting projects in Australia at a very low price. Now a significant producer. Bumped up estimates from 100,000 ounces of production to 120,000 with a potential target of 500,000.. Long-term prospects look extremely good.

ETF that invests across Canadian preferred shares. Preferreds are attractive because of the tax efficiency of the dividend. Last year, spreads widened considerably so there was a big dip earlier this year but have now come back very nicely. Long-term, preferreds are fantastic for dividends but will not give you huge returns. Doesn't expect they…

This is a play on safety. Nice yield of over 10%. More into oil/gas distribution so you can consider it as more of a utility. Acquired Cutbank Complex, which is somewhat accretive.

People should always own some amount of gold, anywhere between 2% and 5%.

Good news is that they have taken the risk of bankruptcy almost away by doing a big conversion of preferred stocks into common stocks so the balance sheet is in much better shape. However a lot of the easy money has already been made.

Lafarge North America 10.93% Bond due July 15, 2016. Manufactures cement so a good play on infrastructure.

Governments will be spending a lot of money on infrastructure. Single biggest problem with global infrastructure is electrical grids. Most technology used in substations and across transmission and distribution, dates from the 1940's. This company makes high-end networking gear. They have 60% market share.

Are you thinking 'between the lines' about the current U.S. Financial Industry Turmoil? I made the following points (among others) in posts I made to StockResearchPortalBlog.com last Saturday morning (before the Lehman Brothers demise) and yesterday morning. I am repeating them in this e-mail for your consideration. 1. Each day (and virtually each hour) new…

Have such a fantastic core business that anything acquired is dilutive. The core Windows and Office Franchise continues to generate well over $1 billion in free cash flow every month. Have over $30 billion on the cash sheet waiting to be deployed. Trades at it free cash flow yield of close to 8%.

Into oil/gas production that takes longer to get going, but lasts a lot longer. Feels investors are underestimating the value of the long-term stream of income. Also, it is breaking itself up into an oil company and a gas company and these types of spin-offs tend to pay off.

Top Short Has not seen anything to prove to him that they have any sort of proprietary technology and yet there is so much built into the stock. Had declining revenues and operating losses for several years. No clear technology advantage over anyone. Doesn't think they can deliver on any of their contracts.

Different business model. Refer to themselves as a company that doesn't want to go into production. Recently spun off some Nevada properties that is very good for shareholders. Have some great projects.

Companies like this, United Parcel (UPS-N) and DHL continue to control a larger and larger portion of goods around the world. This one has a huge global imprint. A good way to play the retail market. 15 X earnings. Big cash flow generator.

This is a play on the bullion. As the markets have been breaking out into new highs, gold has been doing so also. Technically it looks like it is going to have an ascending triangle break out. Looking for gold to challenge its previous highs of $720.

Still within his valuation.

Only like TD #1 and RY #2 at this time.

67% oil. 10% yield with a 71% payout. A combination of oil production and gas refining.

Every time they sell and ipod, they get $1 for ipod and $3 for accessories. Has a new driver that allows Mac’s to run on Windows. Not a big believer in it. It might encourage some non-Apple users to try it. He has been taking profits.

Great dividend yield. Stock has not moved consistently with the commodity price.

He is focused on technology and the consumer side of technology. Likes security software such as Symantec and Verisign.

One of the world's best drug companies and as cheap as it's been in the long, long time.

Benefiting from trucking capacity being somewhat limited.

A classic market penetration in unserved regional markets.

A yield play. 5.1% gives you 10% return.

Variety store instant ticket business is the least affected by the economy. The #2 player in the lottery business. The #1 company, Gtech, is having a lot of problems. Should give this company tremendous market share gain. Should double their earnings

Buy, stick away and don't look at it for quite awhile. Costs are low on R & D because they tend to buy compounds that have already been researched. Not cheap.

Incredibly good management. Expects them to do $.10/$.12 in earnings this year.

Access to capital should remain very healthy. Expected to grow 13/14% at a 13/14 X multiple.
