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.  The Fed has been the backstop for the market going down.  Now they are raising rates unless something else comes along or goes wrong.  We saw the peak in September in the S&P as well as the TSX and then we had a correction take place so that we were down for the year. …

Market. The Texas rail commission in the US used to mandate lower production to boost oil prices locally in the distant past. But today, the NDP government in Alberta will probably not do that. Governments should not do this and the industry created the differential in oil prices themselves. Some of the companies that brought…

Market. BREXIT: The UK cannot afford a no-deal exit but like all of these things, it will go down to the wire. There is uncertainty and markets don’t like it. You want to be long the British Pound. With China there is the arrest of the CEO of a major telecom company from China. There…

All the way through this bull market, people have been nervous. Bull markets die of excess, but that we have been in a cautious expansion. We are in the early stages of a reflation in the economy. There are no signs of recession on the horizon. The market is healthy. Tilray took off today: that's investing, not…

Market Outlook - The inversion of short end of the yield curve is probably affecting the markets now. Probably some algorithms also had a part. He sees a triple bottom on the market now which is a bullish situation. The China-US trade situation seemed to have a truce. There are also worries about a recession.…

Market For almost a year now people have been talking about a correction coming. Because we've had 9 years of pretty strong gains in equity markets there is still optimism left in the market. Referring to Jerome Powell comment from the FED yesterday, after seeing just a small glimpse of good news we see buying…

They blew away earnings recently in a bad market. They're very strong in China--great. The luxury market is boundless there. Their online sales are also strong. That said, he wants to sit back a little more and watch it. But if you believe in it, you could buy it now.

General Market Comment – The current extreme volatility in the market reminds him of the crash of 1987. Not that he expects this to happen again, he sees a lot of uncertainty in the market – usually this results in a down turn. The market has been bounded on the intrinsic value on the cap…

The bond yield cracked 3% last week, so perhaps we should be concerned over the shape of the yield curve. We worry about an inverted yield curve because it foretells a recession by 12-18 months; the market rolls over 6 months before that. He's holding more cash and buying longer-term bonds. Telecoms are getting hit…

Market Outlook Back in October he suggested that an indicator he follows (Bear-o-meter) went to high risk mode. Now it moved to neutral almost close to bullish. We need other factors to enter into bullish territory. He needs three positive days to begin buying. Today is a good day as it is that third day.…

It's been hammered because of this lawsuit and report by a short-seller. Normally this would be a buy based on valuation. There's a tiny chance that MFC will lose this case. That said, he'll wait for the decision before buying this. The judgement may pass in late-2018 or early-2019.

Breaking news: arrest of Huawei's global chief financial officer. Is this bad? No. Appears to relate to breaking sanctions rules. Repercussions tomorrow, if she's violated trade sanctions, are minimal. Only impact is China's reaction. No permanent impact on US or China. Bigger impact might be on Canada, as we try to improve trade with China,…

Thankfully October is over. It was ugly. It went down because of Trump, China, rising rates. Why October? Doesn't know. The U.S. Midterms? He has no clue what'll happen. In Q3, the U.S. market went up 7.7%. We were due for a drop. We've seen two corrections in the same year, which is rare. Then…

Market.  He does not pay that much attention to broad bellwethers.  He wants to beat the indexes, not match them.  He finds that the fund size is not an inhibition to active management.  75% of active managers have less than 15 years experience and so may be incentivized to hug the index.  There is no…

Global energy. We have endured the worst sell off in history in crude oil. The market has looked at Trump issuing waivers for 180 days to 8 countries. This allows certain countries to import oil or condensate over the 180 days when the market thought exports were going to zero. The major countries have reduced…

U.S. vs China trade war: This is a president who believes himself to be emperor. If he wants to put tariffs on Europe or doesn't like GM, he doesn't care. We've never seen this. If you're going to wait to see what Trump will do, you'll never invest at all. He's holding only 3% cash.…

Market Outlook Some companies are being beaten up because of the NAFTA uncertainty. Some sectors seem abandoned. She is fully invested in the US. She doesn’t own any Canadian cash. She has shorted some stocks like Saputo Inc. (SAP-T) but she can’t short all the names that could be affected. She doesn’t think that we…

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…

He's not quite ready to buy this correction. The volatility still bothers him. We're -9% YTD in the TSX. Remember in June 2008 the TSX was at 15,200. So, we're net flat since then. It has paid off to invest in the U.S. He wants to see three or four days of calm before stepping…

Market. Not uncommon this late in the cycle to see this type of volatility.  Gives investors an opportunity to buy some of the stocks that were hit hard.  Seeing a shift from tech into utilities and more defensive names.  He doesn’t see a case for recession until 2020. He is long on equities, probably more…

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…

Highly liquid at $1-billion market cap. Generating free cash flow and one of the only royalty plays where streamers show growth, driven by a gold asset in Turkey that should come in in 2022-3. This should generate a lot of free cash flow. (no dividend, Analysts' price target: $8.02)

He's embracing this volatility. He raised a lot of cash before the fall dip and bought aggressively. He even called for a drop in oil. Oil had plunged because of a supply glut. But we are now at a turning point. Supplies usually rise in mid-November, then decline to year's end. We should've seen stablility…

Market Outlook. Emerging Markets are an area of the world where there is a lot of macro misinformation. Now it is oversold, and he is positive on emerging markets contrary to what many people feel. He is not in Turkey and Argentina. He would focus on countries that have taken structural reform seriously and have…

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 bust.…

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. Oil is now below $50, but there is a chance for it to get back up to $55. The world is fairly well balanced in supply/demand. OPEC seems to be sticking to their cuts and Russia has joined in. The big fear is that the US supply has been growing. Through new technology, the…

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…

Market. It has been a tough slog in Canada so far this year. Valuation multiples are reaching drastic lows across different sectors. Even after the NAFTA agreement, which is surprising. There is a velocity shock with rates in the US moving at the 10-year term from 2.85% to 3.25%. It takes a while usually for…

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.…

Extreme caution in this market? Yes. The way things are shaping up, we’re seeing a monetary shift. We can’t borrow any more. 1930s provides a great parallel to what’s going on now. US election is important. The Republicans will win and consolidate Trump’s power. He needs to devalue the US dollar to make America great.…

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…

Markets: Bonds give you negative real returns. Traditional stocks will be quite volatile for some time to come.

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.

Salida Multi-strategy Hedge Fund. Good company. Have been doing this a long time. Highly respected. Fantastic track record averaging about 30% annually in the last 10 years, including 2008. “Multi-strategy” means they do many types of strategies, usually in the equity space. They’ll do Arbitrage and high yield bonds but mostly small cap equities. Highly…

Small coal play. In pre-feasibility with feasibility study due in the next few weeks. Partnered with Xstrata (Cape Breton met coal property). Beneficial because of location where shipping costs will be cheaper. Also have a moly and copper play in Africa that is attractive Lots of cash and supported by NAV.

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.

India has announced about a month and a half ago they would pick up on the IMF gold sale. He is bullish on Gold long term, but there will be a lot of volatility. If China changes their building codes, it will impact lumber sector. It could be 50% of the Canadian lumber industry, but…

Gold bullion, not stocks. Technicals indicate that gold is going to run.

SPDR High Yield Bond ETF. High yield of around 13%. High yield market still has a very wide spread vis-à-vis treasuries and that spread is expected to narrow even further because the sector overall is not going to experience the default rates that the 13% yield rate is suggesting. With any kind of an economic…

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.

Thinks the pharmaceutical sector will start to do quite well in the next 2 years. It is so negative now in terms of what the government wants to do but historically they have never been able to cut the price of drugs. You are getting 5% to wait.

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.

Was an oil/gas story for quite some time, but lately the story has changed. Have done some spin outs which are very interesting. Very undervalued. Owns 25 million shares of International Beryllium (IB-X). This company is worth almost as much as Vangold.

A leading laboratory and diagnostic business. Less susceptible to changes that could occur in the health sector in the US. Very profitable with a lot of free cash flow. Very defensive.

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.

Posko - A steel company out of South Korea. Has very reasonable valuation metrics, good earnings quality and really good growth characteristics.

Owns timberland and involved in specialty fibres. Timber has very little correlation with commodity markets. Without harvesting, it continues to grow. Good for long-term holding. 5% yield.

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.

3 favourite sectors are energy, health care and telecommunications, so TOP PICKS are in these categories. There will be more volatility with the fluctuation in commodity price. This is a safer way to play energy.

One of the areas in the financial services area that has pricing power. Will do better in a rising inflation.

Benefiting from trucking capacity being somewhat limited.

A classic market penetration in unserved regional markets.

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

Not a fan at these prices and at this point in the market. Hoped-for stronger indication of improved sales going forward. Feels there's better ways to play the tech market.

Have a great noninvasive product to deal with heart problems. Have a new products in the pipeline. Good potential, but may be fully valued.

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