N/A

Markets. The energy sector is getting stupid cheap and could stay there for 6 months. People are panicking. There is tax loss selling. This represents an opportunity. You have to be able to handle the increased volatility, however. If oil goes much below current levels, companies won’t make much money. Make sure you are diversified and don’t double down on your positions.

N/A

Diversification. The mining and energy sectors are those with relative value. But having too much concentration in any area is not a good thing. As banks pull back over the next couple of weeks that might be the sector to diversify into.

COMMENT

The most defensive name would be SU-T in this environment. He likes ZEO-T, but it will get re-balanced at the end of the week.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Below $4.10 it has always been a good buying opportunity. They are going to get their stuff together eventually on the ‘C’ series.

HOLD

Pounded like all the other stocks, making multi year lows. It is in panic mode. You are getting tax loss selling.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Will benefit from lower fuel prices as people decide to spend more money elsewhere. The stock is stretched here, however, and he would not want to make it a momentum play. It is a buy on pullbacks only.

COMMENT

Stock vs. Stock. HSE-T vs. SU-T. There is probably more value in HSE-T over SU-T. HSE-T does not have the retail division to the extent that SU-T does. HSE-T is more oversold that SU-T.

He added at around $18. He sold at $21 a couple of times. You don’t want to run from these things here.

COMMENT

Educational Segment. The Science of Making Decisions. When there is Euphoria, you want to be careful. When there is depression, you want to consider buying. Sell into strength and buy into weakness. Partial buys and sells are known as ‘rebalancing’. Evaluate the volatility of what you are investing. Avoid influences that promote emotions.

N/A

Markets. He is not buying energy stocks today, but watching them with great interest. The pressure has to let up eventually. The drop in oil price is supply driven, not demand driven. The supply increase can’t continue for long. A call from the US to sell Canada came out and he feels the US are probably shorting oil stocks. The lower Canadian dollar benefits some oil companies in terms of costs. Two tech stocks with US exposure hit 52 week highs today. As we come to the end of the year you should see some covering on the shorts.

DON'T BUY

Looks cheap statistically. He is concerned about their growth going forward. Does not know how they compete against P&G in terms of adult incontinence products, which is where growth would be. They are spinning out some assets and that could give the stock a boost.

DON'T BUY

It will move with oil prices. There is movement with the oil prices. If oil prices turn, you will not get as much leverage as an E & P stock. The payout is a bit high.

PARTIAL SELL

No issue with the sustainability of the dividends. Banks are going through adjustment to lower growth expectations. He is underweight the banks, but you don’t want to be right out of them.

DON'T BUY

Not a name for him. Balance sheet is a little levered. The dividend cut put the stock down. There could be another cut coming.
