TOP PICK
If you believe this market is bottoming and will work higher, this is like a warrant on the market. Oversold. Historically at a historical level +30% below its moving average. This is only happened once before.
TOP PICK
If you want a conglomerate that covers a global recovery in everything, technology, food, etc. it has to be this company. Great chart with a linear uptrend and working its way higher.
COMMENT
Volumes. When the stock is moving up, the volume is generally at the beginning and gradually lightens as the move advances. Then there is a move into a sideways pattern when volume subsides again. If you get a new move up, the volume will increase again.
COMMENT
Oscillator. If you are going to use this, use weekly or monthly charts, not daily. Use 5 weeks minus 15 weeks smoothed by 3. That works the best.
DON'T BUY
When picking a gold stock, try to pick one that is doing at least as well as the group. This is not happening with this company indicated in the market is not happy with it.
HOLD
Thinks this is being punished because of Manulife (MFC-T). Doesn't think it is going to make a new low. 5.7% dividend.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 28/09. Up 6.9%.) Technology sector ETF. Still likes the sector. Expect this will make new highs.
PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Aug 28/09. Up 16%.) Had shown this is a short because it was under performing. Still not satisfied that it has reached a bottom yet.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 28/09. Up 22%.) Still likes. If you like gold and you prefer gold equities and you have a reasonable sized portfolio you have to own this one.
HOLD
Chart indicates a double bottom. Historically it is quite far below the 200-day moving average indicating it is drastically oversold. Don't let it go below $45.
BUY
Chart shows a 5-wave pullback, which is now completed and has support at $5.30. In a sector that is favourable. Once it gets above its current level it should work higher.
COMMENT
Asset allocation. There are 10 specific S&P sectors. You should own at least 5 distinct separate sectors and no more than a third in any one sector. He would vote for being overweight on Materials and Industrials, Telecom, a little bit of Consumer and would probably pick away at financials but be light on them.
DON'T BUY
This could possibly be a value trap because the weaker it gets, the more valuable it gets. Until they start innovating or giving money to their shareholders, they would avoid it.
BUY
Because he is fairly positive on the outlook for the market, financials have to move with the rise. He doesn't see them doing a lot but he doesn't see them going down either. There is a lot of support around its current price. 3.9% dividend.
HOLD
There is a low at the beginning of 09 and another one at the beginning of this July. As long as the last low is not violated you should be okay. Also likes the commodity story.
