COMMENT

Historic freak show: last year we had record-low volaitilty vs. today's which is way over 1% a day. Now we pay the price for high volatility which will continue into the summer. Comparing 2018 with 2011: in February of both years we
had a pullback, then a rally, then a second pullback. In June 2011-October 2011 we saw a 22% pullback. Expect a summer correction, but not a crash. In the next week or two, he will slightly reduce equities. Now, the market is slightly
above the 200-day moving S&P average. When we break beneath that 200-day, then sell. Opportunities: maybe Canadian, but he'll go into cash.

DON'T BUY

It consolidated in 2015, then broke out at the start of 2016, but now we're seeing lower lows and lower highs. Let it play out. But it's in a downtrend.

COMMENT

It doesn't like as good as Amazon or tech peers. It's in danger of seeing lower lows. Hold to see if it breaks above the high-$900s, then buy.

HOLD

An ETF that holds oil. He owns a few individual oil stocks. This sector is okay. Oil itself has risen lot, but not the producers. Hold, but if the oil stocks don't produce soon, he will sell his oil.

HOLD

It's been contained in a trading range for the past two years. It's a so-so chart, not bad. Worth holding for the 5.3% dividend yield.

DON'T BUY

Gold is trapped in no-man's land, unable to break $1,350/ounce for a long while. That's reflected in this stock which has a lid on it. Until this breaks out, there's no buying opportunity. Also, existing shareholders will sell off when this
eventually rises. This could be sideways for a while.

COMMENT

It's consolidating. Not a disastrous chart. It may bounce up. If it breaks below the 200-day moving average, then sell. That's his rule.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Past Top Pick on Feb.5, 2018, Up 4.5%) A stock that moves in a steady rise, not a dramatic one. It's a steady eddy. The chart won't look like a hockey stick, but will move up gradually.

COMMENT

What is MSFT's RSI? The RSI measures momentum. Like a baseball, a stock will hit maximum speed. MSFT's RSI has gone up and down--not a worry. With this stock, the trend is still bullish, so he's not concerned. MSFT is in an uptrend.

WATCH

A Canadian play. The Trump threats are much ado about nothing. He's not worried. The chart is choppy, but may have potential. He bought a small amount when it was oversold. He'll watch it.

COMMENT

It's been going sideways and not doing much for over two years. The only way to trade this stock is to buy at the bottom end of the range then sell at the top of the range.

COMMENT

The chart is showing a bit of weakness. Not a bad chart. It's been pausing recently, consolidating, or maybe still in its uptrend. All the FANGs will be range-bound in the summer and work out their excesses from their recent (overbought) runs. He's long-term bullish on Apple though.

COMMENT

It has been in a downtrend for the last three years. There have been periods of slight breakouts. It could have a move-up in the short-term, but he wouldn't be bullish here long-term.

DON'T BUY

It recently touched its last low. It's a so-so chart over the past 3 years. Hold it, but don't be a new buyer.

HOLD

It'll be range-bound. Doesn't see it moving much. Sooner or later, it'll rise up to its topside, which is 5-7% higher from now. A good stock for dividend collectors. Don't expect big moves or big returns.
