COMMENT

Market. He thinks the market made a change last year benefitting the pro-growth sector, while energy is still lagging behind. Utilities on the S&P500 have fallen since December. He says inflation is causing this sector to fall making it interesting again. If inflation really starts to run away Central Banks may not be able raise interest rates fast enough to keep up and this could be the concern for the sector.

COMMENT

Technical indicators for entry/exit? He prefers to use relative strength (14 period) and a Japanese system that identifies trend direction – similar to stochastics. He looks to moving averages as well, on the 100 and 24-day basis.

COMMENT

Oil technical comment. Oil prices have not returned back to the highs of 2015 he says. There is a nice uptrend forming on the commodity, but the XEG-T ETF representing producers has failed to keep track. He wants to see this reconciled quickly or may question if the rally will last.

WEAK BUY

He believes this natural gas based energy stock is technically showing an upward bar recently on the weekly chart. This suggests a building point could be forming. If it falls below $19, he thinks this move could be a fake-out. He would expect resistance at $25 and then $33. He thinks there is a good risk-reward here. (Analysts’ price target is $27 )

BUY

This is a fantastic chart, he says. Canadian technologies are finally getting going. He thinks it will re-visit $40 again. You could buy the XIT-T ETF as a proxy for the sector.

COMMENT

He sees a nice bullish breakout in February and the pullback is interesting for a possible buy-in. He likes the technology sector and sees this ETF as a good proxy.

WEAK BUY

Although it is producing more oil today, it is trading near five year lows, he says. The trend has been down for several years, but the short-term bullish retracement allows an opportunity to place a stop around $1.98. It is the seasonal strong period and we should see resistance around $2.39. He would like to see this stock really accelerate with the recent rally in oil prices.

WEAK BUY

This chart is very similar to other energy producers, he says. A recent run-up to $8.25 is helping establish an up-trend and he still likes owning it. If he sees a break below $6.68 he might change his mind.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He thinks the dividend should be safe and sees this as a defensive stock along with the telco sector. The technical chart shows a good entry point around $51.50 and that is where they may look to buy. The risk-reward level is good at this price.

HOLD

He owns this one and sees its value in real estate assets. It has come back to trend line support, he says, and sees $8.16 as key support. Resistance would be around $9.50, he thinks. For now, hang on to it. Yield 5.5%.

WATCH

He sees a nice up trend still in effect. He could see a potential pull-back towards $32, where trend line support is. With a general weakness in the tech sector overall it could see a pull-back.

DON'T BUY

He sees a long term down trend may still be in effect. He thinks this space should be avoided and wonders if there is a better place for your capital?

BUY ON WEAKNESS

This is a name he has been looking at to see how far a defensive stock can fall. It has come back to previous support and he sees $40 as a key point. He saw a 50% chance of a further push down towards $35, so they have not bought in -- yet. Yield 6.9%.

WEAK BUY

He thinks this should be part of the pro-growth complex, which he is presently bullish on. The recent pullback is back to good support and the long term trend is still positive technically, he thinks. If it falls below $20 this theme may be in trouble. Yield 4.4%.

WATCH

He sees $26 as a buy level, so he is watching closely. He is not sure of the fundamental drivers right now, but likes the technical chart. He would not add to a position unless it trades back above $27. It is better to average-up than average-down, he believes.
