Market. Believes equities have ignored interest rates going below something like 2.75%. If equities actually priced in interest rates where they are now, they’d be a lot higher than what they are today. The equity world is disconnected from the bond world. Interest rates moving up is actually a bullish thing. There are a lot of dynamic things happening in the US and that is where the opportunity is. Stocks are actually getting a lot cheaper in the US than they are in Canada, especially when you look at retail, consumer discretionary and financials.

COMMENT

This just had a Buy signal, because it broke out of one of his structural levels. His model price is $68, 190% of yesterday’s close. Earnings estimates are $4.17 this year and goes down to $3 next year. He has had Sell signals all along, and this is the 1st Buy signal he has had. If you are a trader, he would be Long the stock.

COMMENT

He is a big fan of this bank. Last week they increased their dividend by 60%, plus increased their buyback to about $15 billion. They have a long way to go to leverage their balance sheet. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT

This closed at $134.69, and is bang on its FMV of $134.45. He loves this one.

BUY

Historically, this is a volatile stock, and its earnings seem to be lumpy. It closed at $40.54, and he has a model price of $54.49, a 37% upside. A perfect example of a trader. If you are a trader, you take your gains and look elsewhere.

COMMENT

This closed at $22.70. He has a model price of $24.01, a 5% upside. More importantly, it pays a 3.88% dividend. It would be nice if this pulled back to $21.38 which would give it added support. 3.58% dividend yield.

HOLD

This had a big earnings collapse. It is currently at $40.81, and his model price is $45.64. There was a big decline in the model price from about $64, and is not sure why that happened. 3.14% dividend yield.

BUY

This closed at $65.31, and his model price is $76, a 16% upside. Pays a nice yield of 3.67%.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 14/16. Up 32.48%.) The stock is on a roll. It just had a nice little correction.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 14/16. Down 12.55%.) Had been a critic of old management for quite some time, and they are finally gone. The company really needs a big shakeup. He is looking forward to the new CEO. This is a good price with a good yield.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 14/16. Down 27.5%.) Most of the stocks he picks, when they get cheaper, he likes to buy more. Not only did he buy more in his fund, but he also bought more personally. It is currently at $68.96, and his model price is $114.31, a 65% increase.

COMMENT

He is not in gold. This stock has deliberately been going down since February. The next support is at $14.67, and it just closed at $16.41. He is not a big fan until he sees a positive transit and puts any money into it. His model price is $21.34, 30% higher than where it was. You are buying this cheap, and you are willing to buy it cheaper as the price goes down. He likes that strategy.

N/A

How do interest rate increases helps resource companies? Interest rates are going up all over the world. We are seeing the US lead. This creates economic growth, and materials are part of that, and with the input of goods being produced, it is therefore positive for resource stocks.

BUY

This just had a positive transit last week up through $24.06. It is up again today at 1.5%. He has a model price of $36.38, a 48% positive differential. As oil prices go down, the fare money falls to the bottom line.

DON'T BUY

The stock has fallen below his last line, and once that happens it is un-investable for him. He would wait until after they have their write offs.
