It's a great company...but there's Amazon. WMT is too defensive for this current market.

He doesn't like the oil sector. Don't buy weakness in a strong market. Hard to make money in an unloved sector, oil. No uptick here. ESG and coronavirus are headwinds. CNQ or Suncor are the very top stocks in this sector and are the only serious considerations.

How long can this bull market last? Cyclical bull markets last 24-36 months between major corrections, and we cleared one at the start-2019. Secular bull markets run 15-18 years with interruptions like 2014-5 and 2018. In 1981, the baby boomers hit peak investing years and they peaked out in 2000 which was the end of that secular bull market. The millennials are a bigger group than the boomers--and they've just hit the same point as 1981. So, this secular bull run could stretch into the 2030s. Crashes happen, but don't last. He predicts two years ahead of clear sailing. A generation low in interest rates help. TD will be fine, but he prefers JPM or BAC.

It's fighting structural problems and cultural issues. He'd buy its peers instead. WFC is losing good employees. Look at JPM, the leader in this group.
This REIT has growth, and growth is more important than a high yield. This plays directly into 5G beautifully. He owns few REITs but likes this one.

P&C is a great space. KIE is a US insurance ETF and is hitting new highs, consolidating since June. Chubb is strong in P&C. Allstate is also good. He owns both.

Oracle vs. IBM You get what you pay for. He's never made money in a value tech stock. If a tech stock can't grow, how can it attract investors? Oracle has legacy issues. Neither Oracle or IBM is his first choice. There are better choices in tech.

He's not a gold bug, but seeks unloved stocks in unloved sectors. Gold has consolidated nicely and made a good technical turn. His #1 gold holding is FNV-T. TGC has the largest undeveloped deposit in the world and in a safe place (Alaska) with a good partner in Barrick. All tailwinds.
If it's not a leader in the group, he won't buy it. He'd rather buy Pembina.

It´s ways away from profitable, but its last earnings call was very good. If this can trade through its $45 price, he'll consider it. This has a long way to go, but technically it's getting better. Lot of sellers are built in, because they've been under water.

He loves semis. AMD is great. Also see his top picks. They can take share from Intel in Apple laptops.
In many ways MSFT-Q is in fact the QQQ-Q index. If you had to pick 5 stocks, this would probably be one of them. He thinks cloud will grow between 20-30% for the next 5 years. Despite a pull back in the markets at any time, this one should perform fairly well this year.
