N/A

Market. The Chinese government has floated the idea of lower personal tax rates. Trump talked of another tax cut for the middle class over the weekend. They should have a deal before the US election. You are going to see a lot of increased market volatility due to trade issues with China. You can ignore one or two but going into the first quarter of next year there is a good case for more volatility. The BOC is talking about raising rates. They are going to gradually raise rates, they indicate. If the US raises rates 4 times in the next year he thinks Canada will do so less. There is no reason why they will not raise interest rates this week.

COMMENT

ZWE-T vs. ZWU-T vs. ZWB-T. A 100% stake in anything is generally a bad idea. These three give you 2/3rds of your portfolio seeking dividends in Canada. He would add ZPW-T for US put writes. ZWH-T would give you a broader exposure. He would underweight Canada.

STRONG BUY

A month ago it was his favourite sector. Gold plays had 40-50% upside but we have come off the lows. He now sees nothing with potential of 20-40% upside other than gold.

WEAK BUY

T-T vs. RCI.B-T vs. BCE-T. Nobody knows which one will do better. The best way to play it in the utility space is ZWU-T, which gives exposure to Telco's, pipelines and utilities. These things are interest rate sensitive so you will not get much capital gains and you have to be cautious.

BUY

[Are the dividends safe?] BMO in their screen looks at the leverage ratio of the companies to see if they will be stressed in terms of paying their dividends. It is still a good holding.

PARTIAL BUY

The analysts generally like this stock but you have to look at what the commodity will do. A year out the Gas outlook is neutral in his opinion. He does not believe analysts' targets. He would accumulate here to trade it at the top of the range.

WEAK BUY

It has an option overlay. He likes this. It is like ZWE-T but with other parts of international markets. There are great dividend paying companies in Japan. You have to be careful of currency exposure but this one is currency hedged. It gives you some diversification. He does not know this ETF that well but gives it a thumbs up.

N/A

Educational Segment. Political polarization. In the long term it will start to weight on markets. He looks at the risk side of the equation before looking at potential returns. Governments slapped the world with a massive amount of debt after the financial crisis. We have a credit crisis coming, but you can't time when. The math does not work. Governments have to work on balancing the books. He thinks the US lower house will move to the impeachment of Trump next year and that the house will be democrat controlled after the election (6 in 7 chance).

N/A

Market. The market will go down at least 20% before the end of 2020. He is not sure if this is the first part of the fall. He still holds to his prediction. It would be a bear market. The problem in the US is that what Donald did was short term and now the debt has continued to go up. He believes Italy will have major problems at some point. We may be in worse shape than in 2008.

COMMENT

The takeover just went through at $29 a share. He sold it in 2017 and wishes he had held it longer. He does not know if Brookfield got a bargain at the price they took it over at. It delisted last Wednesday.

WATCH

He would not double down on it because we are in tax loss season. There could be some tax loss selling in November/December. It has fairly high debt. It now pays a dividend but did not do so when he owned it. They are a leader in the field and know what they are doing. They could do well in time.
