Buying pullbacks: DOL, UNH, Linde Stubbornly high U.S. inflation numbers (tamer in Canada) have injected another round of volatility into markets after the January rally. Choppiness will likely continue throughout March. However, one benefit is that investors can pick up […]
Canadian Tire, Savaria & XLI: This week we look two Canadian winners and an American defensive play (literally). The short-term, overall market outlook is sideways as hot inflation numbers continue to joust with the bulls on Bay and Wall streets. […]
Risk tolerance and safety: How much risk tolerance do you have? That’s a fundamental question that investment advisors ask their clients and it’s the guiding principal that informs all their trades. The names below veer on the side of predictability […]
This week, we look at three tried-and-true names, two Canadian and one American deep value stocks, and one that has fallen out of fashion. All stocks have their ups and downs, but only a handful consistently perform over time. Apple […]
Insurance Stocks In an uncertain market, what could be more predictable than insurance stocks? They are the opposite of speculative tech companies, enjoy consistent earnings, pay safe, generous dividends, and benefit from rising interest rates. On top of that, financials […]
Oversold Stocks Welcome to the year of the Rabbit. Peace, patience and prosperity lie ahead in 2023 following turmoil and toil last year. Many stocks were hammered in 2022, but these oversold stocks are starting to turn around now. What […]
Real estate, health and the TSX are on this week’s menu as we favour defensive stocks, but those that can see a rebound, and bank on the Canadian index. So far, 2023 has been positive as inflation eases and China […]
While all the focus has been on central banks, particularly the U.S. Fed, another market factor has emerged, which is China’s reopening and its impact on reopening stocks. Beijing has suddenly abandoned its zero-Covid policy in reaction to popular unrest […]
The year begins on a tone of realistic expectations, that the economies of the world will slow, that a recession is likely, though perhaps short and shallow, that markets will be rough, if not sideways, until the U.S. Fed pauses […]
The theme for this last article of 2022 is safety. Energy may offer higher returns in 2023, but energy is risky because it’s tied to the unpredictable price of crude oil. In contrast, health care is safe, perhaps the safest […]
Upgraded Stocks Sometimes the street gets it right. True, herd mentality is a hazard and upgraded stocks don’t always pan-out. Investors pile into a stock when analysts switch their signals to green and hike price targets only to see that […]
It’s the end of 2022 and the street is obsessing over a recession next year and people are searching for stable stocks to weather the storm. A recession isn’t guaranteed, but signs point to a slowdown after this year’s interest […]
This week we look at gambling stocks (“gaming” is videogames) and something super-safe: storage. Roll the dice with something risky that can pay off well, or hedge your bets on a stock that has fallen out of favour this year, […]
This week consider the macro environment and offer two buys and an avoid. These are long-term buys, one highly defensive, the another a grow-by-acquisition name. The third is a red light–don’t buy. Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD-T) ATD is well-known to Canadian […]
Market news coming out of the States in the past week has made it impossible to ignore two of the following momentum stocks. Consider the third an island of stability if you can’t stomach the other two names. Meanwhile, remember […]
This week presents a mixed bag of oversold stocks, ranging from fast food to (egads) tech. Headwinds remain, of course, inflation which drives up material and labour costs for stocks, but the good news is that inflation is easing, which […]
Recession or not, infrastructure spending by governments will continue. Many of these infrastructure stocks boast robust dividends, while others focus on growing sectors, in particular renewables which the Biden government gave a serious boost over the late summer with a […]
After last week’s Halloween horror show called megatech earnings (i.e. Amazon, Meta et al), investors are looking for something different. Some safe stocks. That refuge is defensive stocks: predictable, boring and safe stocks that pay limited but predictable returns in a […]
With tech stocks being hammered in 2022, there are indications (or gut instincts) that they have been oversold. Name any FAANG that hasn’t plunged by half (okay, Apple). Earnings season has just kicked off IN the U.S. and some megacaps […]
The fast food stocks beat earnings last week, proving that people love their junk food despite 40-year high inflation—or maybe because of that. Regardless, junk food is cheap, familiar and offers comfort. (We’ll turn a blind eye to nutrition in […]
If market swoons are making you sick, consider some of these cannabis stocks for medicine. We’re talking investing, of course, though cannabis’ many applications include several medical treatments for anxiety and chemotherapy. That said, cannabis stocks have been left for […]
This week we offer a mixed bag of defensive stocks in American healthcare, semiconductors and transports. Some of these pay a higher dividend than others, one is a buy on dips, while all are long-term buys. Eli Lilly & Co. […]
It’s that time of year when markets bottom and 2022 is no exception which means there are stocks on sale. The end of September is testing the lows of mid-June and pessimism abounds. According to Warren Buffett’s commandment of buying […]
