Market Outlook He considers trade talk issues the "cow bell" that is leading the market in and out of favour. He held a lot of cash in the summer and then on Oct 31 he increased his beta as he saw a buy signal. He now thinks the market is overbought as his "bearometer" is showing big money holding more cash, while retail investors are already all in. He expects near term volatility, but he does not expect any crash over the next few weeks. Market breadth is good so there is lots of reasons to be bullish. As soon as he sees the market making lower highs and lower lows he will be out.

Double top? Recent price action is not yet a double top. It only is confirmed once it breaks key support. He thinks it is consolidating and is not yet a sell signal.

Time to sell? He owns this one. It has been going through consolidation over the summer and has now broken out to the upside. He would continue to hold it.

He sees a possible breakout forming as there have been recent higher highs that also broke through resistance. He thinks there could be potential upside to $350 and then $400. He wants to see volume continue to support the move.

He saw a break out through a long running consolidation. "The longer the base, the better the case", he says. He would be interested in owing this himself.

Still bullish above $8? This is on his watch list. It has been testing resistance around $8 since mid-2018. A meaningful break above $8, holding for a few days, would make him very bullish.

Back in early 2018 it had a consolidation that eventually broke down in late 2018. He thinks it is again consolidating, but it is still making higher highs. He would like to see it stay above the second last high. He would watch this for a while.

Since 2017 he sees a rounded cup and saucer that appears to be breaking down -- a chart failure. This is usually a very bearish signal. He sees some consolidation around $36. But if it breaks down, it could retest $30 soon. He would stay away right now.

He sold this recently. The stock has a pattern of bouncing off support at $550. That was broken recently so he exited. It may still rally back to $700, but he has moved his money elsewhere.

Every taxpayer is invested in this one, he laughs. Technically it tried to break out to the upside, but it failed. He would put his money elsewhere. It is dead money right now.

(A Top Pick Aug 29/19, Up 2%) He still owns this one. He likes the up trend that has been in place since early 2019. They have been finding some good details that is adding value. There does not appear to be a lot of risk at this stage and he thinks it could trade over $90 again soon. A good core position for the time being.

(A Top Pick Aug 29/19, Up 2%) He just sold it. The stock did what he wanted, a safe low-beta place to park cash over the summer. He is now back into beta, so he sold out.

(A Top Pick Aug 29/19, Up 0%) He sees the market being good to get back into beta and sees himself being fully invested again in the next couple of week. This is after holding 17% cash not too long ago.

He just legged into silver buying bullion. He thinks $16.10 would act as good support. He usually targets three legs to get into the full position, so he is just getting going. Gold broke out above $1350 resistance around mid-year and looked for a pullback once it breached $1500. He sees gold now being constructive again. He is into 2% of his total position that will reach 10% of his portfolio eventually between bullion and producers.

The chart is pretty ugly right now and he does not see the bear trend ending yet. He wants to see a base form first.
