The markets. Extreme volatility is the theme continuing from 2018. Historically there's not been this much volatility. Not a lot of conviction in the buyers. Trends are short-lived. Difficult to find bottoms with reversals. Don't ignore the bond market, which got hammered today. Still in a downward trend, broke through the support level of November/December, and that will act as resistance. December 2018 ranks #9 from the bottom of 480 observations, a 9.2% loss. We're retracing back to revaluation levels, and we'll see where we go next week.

Do you slow down US investments when CAD is weak? Likes US markets better, especially for technicians. Has 30-40% minimum in US markets, and he's not slowing down. When stocks sell off, he holds cash. CAD above 80-85 cents would cause a headache for him. But for now, he's continuing to buy US stocks. Has about 45% cash, from selling off on stops.

Has been fantastic, all-time highs. Lots of gold stocks will do well, as people look for safety. Rates well fundamentally. Could see it coming down and finding support at $30. He'd be taking some profits. If markets rally, this could be a dangerous stock. Has potential to be sold off, as part of a sector rotation. If you want to hold, use 50-day moving average as an exit point.

Jump up today looks encouraging, but he's not aware of any news. Pretty good rally, generally positive. Looks as though volume is building. Could head back up to $3. If it drops below $1.80 or $1.90, he'd be concerned. These stocks are risky, no more than a 2% position in your portfolio.

(A Top Pick May 31/18, Down 23%) He put limits on, and it broke through. If you're going to buy, wait until around $27.70.

(A Top Pick May 31/18, Up 37%) $16.20 exit level. This company's too uneven, he wouldn't recommend it at this point.

Growth or stagnate? Stagnate is the best word. The yield is above 6%, so it's a good stock to hold from an income or dividend growth perspective. Wouldn't have a lot of capital gain expectations. May top up to $46, but not higher in next 3-4 months. Lots of headwinds above the $46-47 level. Support around $41-42.

When a stock loses this much, it's on life support. Especially when it's down from the $5-6 levels of the past summer. Want to see a breakout above current consolidation area on some volume to trigger a buy. Consider reducing your exposure.
