Educational Segment. Global macro demographic trends ultimately drives consumerism and demand. As society ages and birth rates fall, we are at a time where even growth countries like India, birth rates have fallen to replacement rates. By the end of this century, 40% of the population could be over 50. There is a graying dynamic which will impact labour. Outstanding debt and demographics means that the world can't handle higher interest rates. Inflation will probably be well contained. For the next year or so, it will remain sticky. It could be the peak of inflation shortly and then it will start to come down.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Certainly a growing sector that will become more and more important. Recently started adding to this sector's exposure. With the recent correction, it is a good moment to add to your position.

For active investments with covered calls, you need to think about what type of exposure you want. Consider the different types of exposures to Canadian banks. It is not early, so would not be adding new money. However, he is overweight and thematically, it is good. Good on a relative basis.

WAIT
The best semi-conductor ETF probably. Market cap weighted so you get more exposure to the bigger ones. Good for trading in the US market, and is simple to get core exposure. He would wait. Notably NVDIA, which is overpriced. However, semi conductors are a huge part of digitization and should be a core holdings. Looking to add in the next couple quarters during weakness. Owns individual names with compelling PEs.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Has been overweight energy. Likes it for the value perspective. Would buy below $35. Has been selling into strength. Thinks we will see some weakness shortly. Could go back up to $45. Would be inclined to buy pullbacks.
DON'T BUY
Dislikes fixed income right now. Would stay away from bonds right now.
DON'T BUY
The variability around earnings makes it interesting to trade, but he would not recommend investing in it. Very volatile. No insight for approval. Prefers using XPI ETF to trade the sector. NVAX is not a name he owns.
COMMENT
Canadian job numbers. The job numbers were disappointing and may have been a reason why there were no rate hikes by the Bank of Canada. Can't get a good sense of where the economy is for a year or so. We need to get clear of the colossal spending and central bank debt monetization. These policies distorts the economical data so it is hard to read.
COMMENT
Feds are going to reveal inflation numbers. They tried to reassure investors recently. However, they keep walking between hawkish and dovish comments. They are testing the markets with hawkish comments.
COMMENT
Ukraine and Russia. The biggest factor is Europe's reliance on Russian natural gas. Can the US ship enough LNG to compensate if there are sanctions? The conflict is localized however. Probably will see some 3-5% dips and then the dip buyers will come in for bargains.
COMMENT
Markets are going through a period of indigestion with massive volatility. After 10 years of high growth stocks moving to high valuations, they are starting to unwind. Sellers are being overwhelmed in the short term. Interest rates and earnings drive the market and these are going through change. Now the focus is on inflation which is the highest in three decades. Earnings have been great for two years but now costs are rising and margins are getting squeezed, However some stocks have been beaten up enough that it may be time to start buying a little for the long term. Example, he bought Lightspeed last week.
HOLD
The dividend is not coming back and they should be putting money into growth. The valuation is OK so can hold for the long term. But there others in the sector that he prefers.
