Market Outlook He thinks the market is still digesting the chance of a global recession. On a PE multiple, you have to look at forward earnings and those seem to falling going forward, this should result in prices falling. Analysts now think we should expect a decline in earnings and the multiple is also coming down. Slower global growth, thanks in part to Coronavirus, is driving forecasts of lower demand around the world. Add to this OPEC and Russia fighting over prices and market share in the oil market. This will impact employment in a lot of industries in North America.

If you want to buy it because it is down 60% on the year, it would be good to step into it. You may just want to put about 20% of your position on. Their peak season is next winter and no one is making bookings now. We don't know how long the virus will last, so just take a nibble.

This is a midstream company that takes natural gas and extracts liquids for octane enhancers and other valuable liquids, while taking a toll from the energy producers. He thinks 30% of their total decline is their association to the energy sector. The other portion of the share decline is related to perceived counter-party credit risk -- will their customers be able to pay them. They have strategic assets in Alberta and we know it is harder to do business in energy in Canada. He is still holding this for now, just be careful of how much exposure you have with the mid-stream companies these days. They do not have a debt problem, so the dividend looks safe for this year he thinks. Yield 9.6%

Energy stocks? Right now stick to the large, liquid energy stocks. There is growing concern of counter-party credit exposure within the mid-stream and pipeline space. He recommends ENB-T and TRP-T for pipelines and SU-T and CNQ-T for producers, if you want to own any energy stocks. SU-T yield is 7.2%, while CNQ-T is 8.4%. CNQ-T is probably still showing positive cash flow, even at these oil price levels. You may still lose money, but it will be much less than a smaller player.

After Coronavirus? Once we know we are all clear with the virus, one could look at more cyclical names including financials, energy and industrials. In the meantime look to REIT's, healthcare with dividends, utilities, certain consume staples and some high-quality tech companies.

He owns this one and it is now being impacted by CVT-19, due to their global sales reach. He thinks this could be a good time to buy into a position partially. Since they are located at a lot of airports, expect their sales to be impacted for now, which should cause a couple of weak quarters. A blue-chip consumer product company that you could buy today.

AAPL vs MSFT? Both companies are sitting on gobs of cash, he says. MSFT sells more into business, under a subscription basis. AAPL is a little more chunky, as they are into devices and streaming services -- which is a little slow to get going. AAPL may be impacted more by the delay in selling their devices, but you still have to pay for your MSFT subscription. He would put 75% of your MSFT in now and only 50% of your AAPL investment now.
