We are right at the inflection point. You get a lot of good names. The risk reward is really good. He would buy this for clients coming in.

They are raising their capital budget, which is always a good sign. (Analysts’ target: $21.77).

Technology is one of the really good areas. These guys are always good at acquisitions. They spent a lot of time on organic growth in the last year. They have a fantastic balance sheet. These guys are always takeout candidates. (Analysts’ target: $57.54).

Watch out for more volatility until the U.S. midterms, just like weeks leading up to the 2016 election. He's sitting on cash. He bought a little during last week's dip, but there wasn't enough to disrupt his asset allocation. The correction was deeper in early-February. Be positioned for whatever happens. What kills the bull market? Interest rates will likely rise 3-4 times in the coming year, and there's nothing wrong with that, because it's a sign of a strong economy. But at 3%, the bond market looks attractive again. It's possible that the yield could rise then fall below 3%.

Likes this. He'd buy this if he were playing Europe. But diversify with, say, ZWU, which does covered call for utilities and has expanded beyond Canadian utilities into the U.S. Also look at ZWA and ZWH for further diversification. He likes all these covered calls. The fees are high, but he has seen first-hand the added value these products give.

Holds all the big semiconductors, but it's a concentrated space. This ETF equal-weights these semis, which is good. This is a good long-term hold. The big growth spurts in semis has passed, though, but this sector is worth holding onto. Charges 47 basis-points in their MER, which is fine, because you're keeping your investing costs below 1%.

Between July - October, gold strengthens. But he's not a gold bug at all. It's dead money, and a tax issue in the States. If there's a strong USD, then why buy gold? Maybe, just maybe, play gold as a very short-term play, but no more than that.

(Past Top Pick Oct. 10, 2017, Down 7%) What was I thinking? He's been in and out of this a few times. Europe is such a morass with all kinds of trouble. This ETF itself is fine, but Europe is a mess.

(Past Top Pick Oct. 10, 2017, Up 1%) He likes Vanguard, but he's surprised this is up 1% given Canadian market performance this year. A year ago, it seemed like a good idea. He still holds a bit.

(Past Top Pick Oct.10, 2017, Down 7%) Sold it and immediately also sold XEG, both being Canadian oil ETFs, because he sees no pipelines being built in Canada. The current $50 spread between WCS and WTI is crazy, nuts. Canadian taxpayers are losing money. It's absolute madness.

Options in cannabis trading? He doesn't touch this space. The problem is you'll lose your money. He doesn't like companies that don't make earnings. What are the rules for distribution? Overhead? Spreads? Will people buy legal weed or stick to illegal suppliers?

Likes Vanguard ETFs and would consider this, but he isn't buying emerging markets now. The China market has dropped 25%, for instance. He's waiting and watching the EM. He likes India. He prefers South Korea and Japan--developed markets--over emerging.

Floating rate bond ETFs: He has had the HFR product from Horizon for years. He likes it because the price doesn't change and has a good duration of six months. It kicks out 2-2.25%. The problem with alot of bonds, though, is that yields look good, but your actual total return is actually much lower. So, he likes floating-rate bonds.

Buy real-return bonds now? He doesn't like them, especially in Canada. Their average maturity is 13-14 years, so you'll get clobbered a rates rise. They're used protection against inflation--what inflation now? He'd rather buy a Canadian bond portfolio.

How to exercise a warrant? Warrants are similar to options in that they allow you to buy a stock at a certain price and time limit. But options are traded between two investors, whereas warrants are used to bring capital into a company at a certain date in the future. Warrants are rare now.
