WEAK BUY

To him this looks like it could be setting up for a positive move. Recent highs and lows are progressing. I recently broke through a significant high and could be nearing a good buy. He would rank it 7 out of 10. He would leg into it cautiously.

HOLD

The telecom sector has taken a beating he says. It recently tested trend line support successfully. He would continue to hold it, but would not add new money.

DON'T BUY

He sold out when it broke key support in mid-2017. Now the stock is still in a down trend making lower highs and lower lows.

HOLD

The chart is slowly progressing bullishly. He would continue to hold it, but not necessarily add new money. (Analysts’ price target is $16.66)

HOLD

He thinks the financial sector may again strengthen around October seasonally. The chart is likely to move sideways through the summer. He would view it as neutral – likely put his capital into something more exciting.

DON'T BUY

The long term uptrend has ended and is definitively in a new down trend. Until that changes, he would stay away. (Analysts’ price target is $184)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A sideways pattern where you buy around $32 and sell near $37.

DON'T BUY

This is a tier II bank. It has a choppy technical pattern. When support near $52 broke, it will now act as resistance and a new down trend has emerged. He would avoid it, waiting for some consolidation.

TOP PICK

He bought it on the break out above $650 back in Q4 2017. He probably won’t hold it much above $780. Yield 1.7%. (Analysts’ price target is $746.97)

TOP PICK

A great up trending stock chart. It is consolidating at the moment with lots of time to grow. Yield 1.3%. (Analysts’ price target is $251.11)

TOP PICK

He is holding about 23% right now. The current ranking of the market it signalling him to hold a higher than normal level.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 2/18 Up 6%) He liked the support near long term trendline levels. He thinks it is a great stock to buy and hold for the long term.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 2/18 Down 3%) This has been the contrarian sector and he thinks it is due for an overdue bounce. The sector is oversold and he thinks he will get back to even.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 2/18 Up 15%) It is a high volatility holding. He thinks it will return to $17-$18, where he would sell it, after having bought it on a trend line low.

COMMENT

We're not in a frothy market as in January when investors piled on the bandwagon. We're currently not in a euphoric state. We have a bit of room to go, but we are getting stretched. We have at least a year before we get really worried, assuming we don't see a lot more rate hikes. We should we fine going into the second half of 2018, but we're beyond 9 years in this rally. Next year would mark a record stretch for a rally. US equities are still bullish, especially tech. Canadian has some catching up to do. He sees value in Europe and Japan. In Canada, don't look at sectors, but pick individual stocks. That said, energy has done well, like Suncor, though oil this week is in retreat--maybe rotate out of that. Telcos aren't faring well either. In spaces like healthcare, be selective.
