New store just didn’t work out. Development in area around the store was much slower than expected. They exited and it cost them. All the other units are operating very well. Sees no reason why expansion plans won’t be positive. He owns their debenture. This is a nice diversification away from the resource market.
Gold Stocks. Has a large long position in the gold sector. He looks for the ratio of stock performance relative to gold price. That ratio bottomed just a few weeks ago. This is a leading indicator for the sector going forward. Likes how well the markets reacted to Gold Corp’s bad news recently. Does not see what will take the sector down now but he would exit in October.
Markets. Risk assets are in a tug of war. Doesn’t see this changing. The tiniest hint that monetary policy will be pulling back and the market reacts. Thinks they will want to see some pickup in the economic data before tapering. Thinks the economy is ‘hooked’ on the monetary stimulus. He doesn’t see a lot of value in equity markets except for gold.
