N/A	General Market Comment December 31, 2018 Market. He has been short most of the year and in the last week went net long. There is less downside risk for the markets now. There are potential catalytic events that could send them to the upside. This is far from over in terms of a bear market because we haven’t got all the bad news yet. It is after a 10 year run-up in the markets. A lot of the tail winds have gone. It is a trading market. Look for beaten up companies at low multiples with good earnings with low trading risks, such as FDX-N. We've seen the best in earnings for the next year. He thinks they could go negative for the next year. It is too soon to sound the bell that the bottom is in. 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Market.

HOLD	Alphabet Inc. / Google(GOOG-Q) December 31, 2018 He has cut back on this position but it is still in a sweet spot in terms of the growth going forward. They have not monetized a lot of their asset such as android. There is money now coming out of this sector. There is money flow risk because it is over owned. Advertizing is generally a pretty cyclical thing. He'd like to see a couple of quarters of earnings. This is one of the last tech stocks he would continue to own. He would still have a position. It is a core name. Maybe not put your full position on. Business Services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	He has cut back on this position but it is still in a sweet spot in terms of the growth going forward.

DON'T BUY	Vermilion Energy Inc(VET-T) December 31, 2018 It is one of the stronger companies out there. They look better than most of the industry. It is overdue for a bounce.

The move to eclectic vehicles is going to take away a great deal of long term demand. He would gravitate to transporters of oil. oil/gas 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	It is one of the stronger companies out there. They look better than most of the industry. It is overdue for a bounce.

COMMENT	Trevali Mining Corp(TV-T) December 31, 2018 It has been a painful year for junior mining stocks. There has been an exodus of capital from the group.

N/A	General Market Comment December 31, 2018 Canadian and US$. It is a good question to ask when buying US stocks. He does not know if the Canadian dollar will have a big move either way.
