N/A

Markets. The American market looks expensive to him. Trump has not yet implemented his pro-business policies so the market is up on anticipation. The S&P has broken out and is moving up on a daily basis. This is very positive. There is no resistance at this point. He does not see interest rates moving to 4%, maybe 2.5%. The TSX is at record highs yet oil has not jumped. CIBC (CM-T) is at a record high. We have a positive breakout that is taking place. But we are at the upper bounds for PE rations for banks in Canada.

BUY

The season period is January to Mid-April. It was in an ascending bullish triangle and then it popped when they came out with great earnings. This is very positive. It has still has room to move higher.

WEAK BUY

SLF-T vs. MFC-T. SLF-T has done well, and then pulled back recently. He would prefer MFC-T. The life insurance companies would be a slight preference over the banks.

HOLD

Platinum is an industrial and precious metal and has done well since the beginning of the year. This is a seasonable time for Platinum. The seasonal period starts in January and runs as long as May, but most of the gains are in the first couple of months. If you see it pull back, then exit.

HOLD

Semiconductor Stocks. SMH-N is the best known ETF in this area. They have a cycle. A lot of chips are bought by the end of the year. We are past the seasonal period so once it weakens then exit.

HOLD

It has been driven by ESPN and cord cutting. It is seasonal and we have just reached the end of its period. If it breaks the current trend, then look to exit.

HOLD

It is an offshoot from the airline industry, which does well in the fall time. Maybe Warren Buffet will buy this one. We have seen the break out and it is above resistance. It tested it and came back up. This actually looks quite favourable.

BUY

US Dividend Hedged to Canadian dollars. When you buy a hedged product, you are making a call on the currency. You should hedge unless you feel strongly the US dollar will go up or you are trying to create a diverse basket of foreign currencies. Right now he would buy this hedged version.

DON'T BUY

Technically it has fallen off the face of the earth. You are making a gamble at this point. He would not move into healthcare at this time of the year.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Dec 13/16, Up 4.03%) This happened outside his window of seasonal strength by more than a month. He got stopped out back in January. We need another move up, otherwise the rally is over.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Dec 13/16, Up 1.42%) It has not done much since the start of the seasonal period. He exited because he has not seen the relative strength. The seasonal period ends March 7th.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Dec 13/16, Up 8.02%) He has hung on past the end of the seasonal period by a month and is moving his stop up tighter and tighter.

HOLD

We should see it fall back due to it getting to the end of the period of seasonality. He would put a stop in place. It was going down then the market is going up.

HOLD

There has been a bit of a pull back and then a bump up. This is a position you can let run. Feb 25th until May 9th is the period of seasonal strength.
