DON'T BUY

It had a seasonal period earlier this year into March. Now, we're at a floor of $2.50. It's outside seasonality now. Could be a time to exit.

WAIT

Canadian and US banks have not done well this year. The problem is the flattening of the yield curve. Canadian banks are an oligopoly--they can print money. Seasonality is October. Wait.

WAIT

Great company with incredible growth. The stock has consolidated for nearly the past year. Wait for seasonality starting in early October.

WAIT

It's done well. It's broken above its rising trend since last-2016. Not seasonal now. Look for a base below $80. Wait.

It's done well. It's broken above its rising trend since last-2016. Not seasonal now. Look for a base below $80. Wait.

WAIT

Seasonal from Feb.25-May 9 where it had a good run; and starting July 27. Seeing flatlining now. Wait a bit.

BUY

It's a little above resistance now. It's entering seasonality starting late-July. Chart looks good.

DON'T BUY

Lumber stocks have been effected by hurricanes and rebuilds, but has suffered a big downturn since May. It's now out of season, still falling. Wait till the fall to buy this sector. It could fall further from now to then.

TOP PICK

Seasonality for gold runs early-July to early-October. (Seasonality of commodities doesn't have as much confidence among investors as seasonality for stocks.) Gold is now oversold. It's gone down since April. If it sees an uptick, buy it. Short covering in this sector is huge.

TOP PICK

He likes it because it's boring. This is the time to be cautious (boring). Bond proxies have been hit this year with rising rates, but he doesn't see interest rates rising much going forward. Fortis has good growth prospects A good time to hang out here and earn a dividend. (Analysts price target: $47.60)

TOP PICK

Seven to 10-year government bonds do well this time of year. The past two summers, IEF had good runs, so sell them in late-September/early-October.

BUY

Gold has been hit, though gold stocks have held up. July 27-September 25 is gold's seasonality. He likes AEM, because it's had a consolidation (following a downdraft earlier this year) and gold is entering seaonality, This should do well.

COMMENT

Use moving averages to determine bounces and lines of support? It's one factor. Looking at 50- and 200-day moving averages, you get into golden and death crosses, but these happen over too long of a timeframe for him to look at. Instead, he looks at 10- and 20-day moving averages to establish a trade. That said, the 200-day is important, because many investors feel it is and they will sell. It's impossible to follow just one moving average because an investor will get whipsawed all over the place. You need another factor to decide whether to get in or out.
