Market. He includes sentiment and market breadth to score the market from 1-8. Currently, he ranks it at 3 – mildly bullish, but is holding more cash (20%). The old lows from February and March held at 2580 on the S&P500, so the trend is still intact. Sentiment indicators are neutral, meaning they are neither bullish nor bearish. Things aren’t dire yet and he is still 80% invested. He does not see a large risk to higher interest rates and is not afraid of inflation. Hold good quality stocks and stay the course he says.
Gold. He has an extensive blog on the topic (valuetrend.ca). Gold has been stuck with a lid at $1360 /oz. It is near support. He would not be a buyer yet, but could trade it as a swing trader on a short term basis. Over and over and over it has tested the upper bound, but has not broken through, so he is not keen on putting new money into it.
It is a great company and he is sorry he sold it. He would wait for a pullback as he thinks it may be overbought. He would not get greedy and only look for a $1-$2 retracement. To set a target for selling, he watches for it to round over, but ride it as long as possible. (Analysts’ price target is $27.70)
This is a good trading stock in his opinion. It moves aggressively with good breakouts. If it breaks the current consolidation above $39, it would be bullish. It is in a consolidation presently and would sell if it takes out the support near $30. He ranks it as a 5 out of 10. (Analysts’ price target is $42)
