He's bullish, though there remains seasonal risk to mid-October. His own Bear-o-Meter indicates that risk is actually declining in the markets which are looking for an entry point as soon as a few days, perhaps a few weeks. But these are trades, not long-term investments, that would last only a few months. The US-China trade deal will probably be settled in the short term, which will result in a market lift. The US election begins in February, so probably sell at that time. That could be the final rally. He is bullish, but not long-term. In late-2020 into 2021 he feels more bearish when a downturn could happen. He likes Europe--it has sold off and is setting up for a buyer's market. Same goes with emerging markets, such as Brazil. These are all places where investors are not (America is a crowded trade now).

The S&P and TSX have hit double tops since June, so when to re-enter these markets? We haven't seen a double-top yet, because the markets need to fall down to the "neckline." Rather, these markets are currently consolidating.

North American banks have gone sideways, including JPM. JPM has been rangebound since early 2018. It tends to bounce off $110 and hits a ceiling of $120. That's one approach. Another approach is to see if it breaks-out above $120 and buy it then.

Enter now at $137 and add to a position? He owns a lot for the long-term. MSFT has been going up for a long while. Occasionally, it consolidates or pullbacks? Not bad to buy it now. Nothing wrong with this chart.

This morning, he was looking at it. He likes it, but hasn't bought it yet. It's now consolidating after a long downtrend. It recently broke-out on a China deal announcement, but has fallen to a neckline--and entry point--around $20. He doubts there is much downside coming, so you can buy it now or very soon.

Has a small position, but BB is one of his worst performers. BB is very oversold, so a short-term trader could take advantage of this. He's waiting for a bounce, then he'll sell.

He's traded this before. Commodities are trading instruments. Nat gas has broken down this year with old support becoming new resistance. Don't enter this space now.

(A Top Pick Jul 16/19, Down 5%) He's starting to like Europe. His picks are short-term, lasting around 6 months. Germany faces recession and likely faces more fiscal stimulus, hence higher stock markets there and across Europe. The chart here is sideways, so he'll play this out.

(A Top Pick Jul 16/19, Down 9%) FFH took a haircut from Blackberry's stock decline, but he still likes FFH. FFH's chart routinely bounces off $550 up to around $720.

(A Top Pick Jul 16/19, Up 14%) The REITs and consumer staples have done well since the summer. He may shave his REIT holdings though. AP.U has had a sharp move upwards in recent months so he may take some profits.

The chart isn't bad. It has moved up this year, though at a slower pace than in 2017-8. The chart is taking a break; it can't go up that fast forever. It's been consolidating since May above $160. But if the market rises and this drops, then sell. But the chart doesn't alarm him at all.

He will take profits on this; he's owned it for a long time. MA is a tech stock and seasonality is now into January. It's been consolidating lately, but he sees no breakdown. Not at all. You can take come profits during seasonality.

It broke above $3.20 and so far it looks okay, but this trades at low volumes.

The chart shows a possible head-and-shoulders, but it hasn't completely that formation yet (since early 2018). A neckline around $28. If it breaks that level, it is very positive, but he isn't sure it'll happen. Wait and see. If it doesn't, exit.

Qualcomm or Cisco? Qualcomm may be breaking its trendline; it's choppy and not for conservative investors. The chart is merely okay. Cisco has rolled over and has consolidated; it's rangebound. If Cisco breaks out of this range, it's very good. At least Qualcomm is in an uptrend, so he slightly favours it.
