TOP PICK

Has outperformed the S&P 500. No yield on it but with his bullish scenario he is also looking at the baby boomers that are going to continue working and have lots of disposable income.

N/A

Market. We have been in a bull market for quite a while. Central banks around the world want to drive assets up. Technically it looks fine. Just enjoy it. Just one caveat. Transports are not taking part.

N/A

Transportation. Dow has gone to a 52-week high, but transports have not followed. Just looking at the rails, they are also off. Thinks it is just a temporary aberration. Up trends are still intact so he is not too worried about it.

BUY

If you are going to have a bull market in energy, which he believes we will, an ETF is probably a better thing to do than individual stock picking.

BUY

Terrific looking chart which has a rising growth channel. Trying to break above its highs.

BUY

One of his favourite tools is Relative Performance. The sector is starting to turn up so this stock will probably move above its resistance point of around $40.

COMMENT

This company has been a laggard. The large-cap gold stocks are starting to rally and they will lead over the small caps. Expect the current gold rally will continue for a while. You can either buy the big caps or the iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold ETF (XGD-T), which gives you the basket and you’re not left with a one stock that didn’t participate.

N/A

Gold. Chart has a very unusual pattern in a descending triangle but then it broke to the upside. Usually a descending triangle is bearish except for this time. The break to the upside fooled everybody. He would assume that gold is going quite a bit higher and will shoot towards $2000.

BUY

If you are a long-term investor, this wants to go higher. The group is in favour.

COMMENT

Chart shows it has been in a downtrend since April. This would be bottom fishing. If you are interested in this, study the fundamentals. You want to see volume start to increase. The sector itself is favourable.

COMMENT

He thinks the chart is showing a double bottom. The sector is good. Thinks it will do fine.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 30/11. Up 47.62%.) They were deeply oversold plus there was so much bad news surrounding them and you had to know the fed would not allow that.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 30/11. Up 33.76%.)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 30/11. Up 13.45%.) Feels this one should go higher.

COMMENT

Represents long dated US debt. Chart shows a diagonal triangle going back to 2010. The end of the chart shows the trend is moving down indicating that the Selling is growing more aggressive. When you see this type of pattern, you always Sell into it. Technically, they have gone below the 50 day moving average and the 200 day is starting to flatten out. When this drifts lower, it means the fear trend is abating.
