Don’t buy now. Mainly because of uncertainty surrounding steel and aluminum tariffs. Canada’s cyclicals have been beaten down, so there could be value, but economic growth will slow somewhat. This would be a value trap.

Negative push towards Canada from outside (housing levels, debt), and this includes the banks. But he’s positive on Canadian banks, they earn a lot of money. If housing does decline, those profits let banks weather the storm. Trade at good values, good profits, dividends are safe and valuable in times of market volatility. If you have a position already, you can afford to nibble away at it.

Buying opportunity? It has some fantastic brands, but subject to fads, which could have a material effect. But he has some concerns such as high valuation for consumer products company, management structure, and Toys R Us issue in the States. Be cautious on this name.

Tech spend will continue to increase. Sees core businesses growing. If you already own it, hold, but wait to add more and see if it comes down and holds around $95.

Positive on the name. Whenever anything happens in the financial space, Goldman is there. Has more torque than a traditional bank, as its earnings are a bit more leveraged. Keeping money to grow the business instead of returning it to shareholders, a positive. Conservative on loan reserves. Would be looking to add, not exit.
