Hudson Bay Co (HBC-T)

Hudson Bay Co. (HBC-T) — Stockchase
Hudson Bay Co. (HBC-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about HBC-T: Nicknames it Hit By A Car like its chart. HBC is all about its real estate holdings; that's the reason you own this. Doesn't know if the current rally signals a buy. Can't predict this chart. Even consider selling it.

Opinion about SGY-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research SGY is quite small at $510M, but the stock is very cheap.

TC Energy (TRP-T) — Stockchase

Apple (AAPL-Q)

Apple Inc (AAPL-Q) — Stockchase
Apple Inc (AAPL-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about AAPL-Q: Has incredible gross margins. They just reported a fine quarter, but tariffs in China didn't help. The street perceives that as the last great quarter, so shares fell.

Opinion about H-T: (A Top Pick Jul 12/24, Up 11%) It broke out since mid-July but has been sideways lately. As long as the stock holds at lows around $44, fine, but if it breaks below that, there will likely be more downside.

BCE Inc (BCE-T)

BCE Inc. (BCE-T) — Stockchase
BCE Inc. (BCE-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about BCE-T: Average down? The expectation is for a dividend cut of nearly 50% starting this month. We'll see if that happens.
