TOP PICK
Technology ETF. Likes technology but rather than buying an individual stock, buy the index. Thinks Cdn$ climb is done so you shouldn't get hurt too much by currency exchange. Had a giant spike in 2000 and then went through a long base, which had to digest the damage done by the spike. Had a low in 2002 and a higher low early this year. Now expecting a 2nd echo technology boom driven by Internet, China, etc.
TOP PICK
Top Short Not participating with the rest of the market. A laggard. Either Short or if you own Sell. If you Short don't let it go over $46. He thinks the stock will take out the 52-week low of $41.39. Before Shorting, you could wait to see if it goes below $41.39.
TOP PICK
If gold breaks out, large caps are going to go. Go with an ETF or one or two of the big guys. The key is, gold will run up, the yield on the bonds will start to run up also. When the yields get above 4%-4.5% and it is too frothy and you get out.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 3/08. Down 42.74%.) Had a stoploss of $6.30 so he was only down 12.6%. No one wants to pay up on aerospace so when the air clears this should move. Buy.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 3/08. Down 26.92%.) Stopped out with a 11% decline. Chart looks bullish. Alternative energy plays are going to be uranium, natural gas and coal. Wind, solar, etc. is a lot of money for what you are going to get out of it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 3/08. Down 13.23%.) Was stopped out at a 14.3% decline. Not a gold bug but thinks in the fall gold will break out above $1000. Gold stocks are lagging so the ones that will follow the price of gold will be the big caps. (See Top Picks.)
BUY
Doesn't like potash stocks but does like this. An under performer at the beginning of this rally, has consolidated and formed a nice base and thinks it will rally and break out. Period from March to now looks like an elevated base. Take the advance from December to March and measure from the beginning of the corrected period (semi-log scale not linear), which brings you to about $15.
HOLD
Using birds of a feather strategy he thinks the sector is going to do rather well. Chart shows a flag from July to now, which is bullish. Expect it will take out the peak of $3.79.
HOLD
This is in a very good sector and he thinks it will work out. Most of your returns in the marketplace is determined if you are in a Bull or Bear as opposed to individual stock selection so even a poor stock will do well in a Bull market. Chart shows higher highs but MACD shows lower lows creating a divergence that thinks the MACD will give a surprise upwards.
WATCH
Has been in a downward trend since May, which may be because of their South African location. 50 day has turned below the 200 day moving average but the MACD is showing a higher low, which is indicating that the down is over. The sector starts moving up you will probably get a rally in this giving you a chance to get out.
SELL
NYMEX Natural gas bull+ ETF. This is a leveraged play and leverage is a killer. He would play natural gas stocks, not the ETF. If the natural gas downtrend drags on for another month or two, it is possible that they may have to shut down some of the ETF’s. Would move out of this and into a natural gas stock such as Breaker (WAV-T), Crew (CR-T), Fairborne (FEL-T), Galleon (GO-T), Progress (PRQ-T), Talisman (TLM-T). Buy 2 or 3.
COMMENT
Thinks natural gas will bottom sometime in the fall because it is so ridiculously over extended. The ratio between natural gas and crude is a historical deviation so it eventually has to come back to the mean. Natural gas stocks, by and large, bottomed in April, rallied and they are sitting at a higher low in July. None of the big Canadian natural gas players have taken a new low, which tells him the low is not sustainable. Stocks to consider are Breaker (WAV-T), Crew (CR-T), Fairborne (FEL-T), Galleon (GO-T), Progress (PRQ-T), Talisman (TLM-T). Buy 2 or 3.
PARTIAL SELL
Sector is hot and the market decided this company was going to survive. Also coal currently is on fire, which is probably the prime driver behind this. Trending higher but if you own, take a little bit off the top. Expected to consolidate and be flat for a while and then move higher.
DON'T BUY
Doesn't like the potash stocks.
BUY
Thinks it works higher from here. There is a definite uptrend. 50 day moving average got too far away from the 200. Now in a congested period. If bullion breaks out this fall as he expects, this one will join in.
