Stockchase 
Opinion about AEM-T: (A Top Pick Jan 31/25, Up 119%) Gold continues to remain in play, and gold stocks as a group continue to broadly lead. At the margin, we're seeing a race for resources. Globally, we're seeing a bit of anarchy and a movement away from law and order -- this is typically when…
stockchase.com 🛍 Consumer
Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST)
Opinion about COST-Q: Has long owned this. It's trading at a high 50x PE, above historic highs, but their numbers are coming through. The stock is bouncing. Stay long. He still likes it.
stockchase.com American Eagle Outfitters (AEO)
2 Buy, 0 Hold, 1 Sell — 3 expert ratings on American Eagle Outfitters (AEO). Latest rating: TOP PICK (Sep 10, 2026) by The Weekly Buzzing Stocks by…
Stockchase 🚚 Industrials
Opinion about WSP-T: Global engineering and construction. Another case of AI causing baby to be thrown out with bathwater. Fat chance that AI is going to build the next nuclear reactor or dam or data centre. $17B in backlog. Big, global scale. Serial consolidator, and recent large acquisition makes it a much bigger player in US…
stockchase.com Invesco DB Agriculture Fund(DBA)
Opinion about DBA-N: A volatile chart given its volatile holdings of cocoa, sugar, soy beans, etc. and a big position in short-term US treasuries. Agriculture is seasonally strong now. Long-term, the human population keeps growing, which is a tailwind and shift to healthier diets and ESG investing. Buy this, then sell as a trade.
stockchase.com 
Opinion about DY: Not a tech company, but picks and shovels. They lay wire and fibre optics. Rewiring NA to keep up with what the hyperscalers want…
Stockchase 
Opinion about WCC-N: Are now feeding into data centre growth. Facing tariffs, their business is lumpy, but that is starting to end. Future earnings growth will settle around 15%, strong. Their PE will remain under 20x. (Analysts’ price target is $287.00)
stockchase.com 
Opinion about CP-T: The only rail he owns. Best in the space. Interconnected railway between US-Mexico-Canada. Underlying business doing fairly OK. Threat of tariffs affects it, so we need some certainty on trade. Not bad to hold now.

iShares S&P Glb Energy E.T.F. (IXC)
Opinion about IXC: Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Energy has been the top performing sector globally and IXC is the best of the global…
Stockchase Global X USD Cash Maximizer Corp. Class ETF (HSUV.U.TO)
Opinion about HSUV.U-T: Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We reiterate this US dollar denominated ETF that holds deposits in Canadian chartered high interest savings accounts. As a corporate class ETF it does not make distributions, making it highly tax efficient and a good defensive holding in non-registered accounts. Its gross yield is over 3.2%. Yield…
stockchase.com Global X Cash Maximizer Corporate Class ETF (HSAV.TO)
Opinion about HSAV-T: Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We reiterate HSAV as a TOP PICK. This low-MER ETF holds receipts in Canadian chartered high interest savings accounts. It is tax efficient as it does not pay a distribution; rather, it accumulates the yield so only a capital gain is incurred on sale. Its gross yield…
stockchase.com BMO Ultra Short-Term Bond (ZST.TO)
Opinion about ZST-T: Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly ZST.L is a low-MER (0.17%) ETF comprised mostly of investment grade Canadian corporate bonds with a term to maturity (or rate resets) under one year. It continued to provide positives gains even during the challenging markets in 2018 and 2022 and its worst three month drawdown is…
stockchase.com ⚡ Energy
Opinion about CVE.TO: On his farm team list of names he'd like to own. If RSI in energy were to turn higher, certainly a potential target for his…
Stockchase 
Opinion about SCR.TO: (A Top Pick May 15/18, Down 6%) A play on two emerging growth themes -- e-sports and betting. He is very bullish on e-sports…

Stockchase 
3 Buy, 0 Hold, 2 Sell — 5 expert ratings on AeroVironment (AVAV). Latest rating: TOP PICK (Sep 10, 2026) by The Weekly Buzzing Stocks by Billy Kawasaki.
Stockchase Taiwan Semiconductor MFG. (TSM)
Opinion about TSM-N: He'd trim, as long as you're not in an adverse tax position. Great quarter, with revenues up 35%. Seeing increasing demand. Bit pricey at 18x PE for 2028 for only 9-10% growth.
stockchase.com 🏛 Financials
Opinion about JPM-N: Largest and most diversified of the US banks. Leadership in retail, wealth management, and capital markets. Capital markets recovery is underway. Lots of investment in payment technology (automation, analytics), which is driving operating leverage. AI should be very beneficial to financials -- better customer experience and more efficiencies for employees.Less regulation and…
