TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With market uncertainty mounting along with fears of continued inflation, ABX is a TOP PICK. Unlike other precious metal miners, like NGT, it trades at only 14x earnings and has a sustainable dividend that is less than 30% of earnings. We recommend placing a stop loss at $18.50, looking to achieve $29.50 -- upside potential over 40%. Yield 3.8% (Analysts’ price target is $29.75)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly HIU is a defensive holding we have selected as a TOP PICK in the past and again suggest for Canadian investors during periods of market uncertainty and inflation worries. It is a low MER inverse ETF for the S&P500. Its value will also benefit if the CAD dollar weakens during a market retracement as currency is not hedged. We recommend placing a stop loss at $13.75 as this would likely signal a renewed bullish outlook for the S&P500. We will target $18.00 to consider covering half the position. Yield 0%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly During periods of high inflationary concerns and general economic uncertainty, discount retailers (such as DG) are safe havens. It trades at 24x earnings compared to peers at 34x. It recently reported earnings that beat analyst expectations and supported a ROE of 37%. Management raised guidance, expecting sales to rise 11% and EPS to grow by a similar amount. The company is expanding its offerings to now include on-demand health care services, along with adding fresh produce to its outlets -- all things that will aid consumers and distinguish itself from other retailers. We recommend placing a stop loss at $205, looking to achieve $283 -- upside potential over 16%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $267.46)

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Taking a step back, DOCU revenues have climbed from $250 million in 2016 to $2.1 billion in its last fiscal year. Meanwhile, cash levels are rising. Flashforward to last week's report in which EPS clocked in at $0.44. That was actually down 6% from a year ago, but higher than the expected $0.42. Also impressing the street were revenues of $622.2 million beating $602 million (a 22% increase YOY). The company issued a rosy forecast of $626 million in revenues vs. the street's $625 million.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Obviously, a lot is riding on Thursday's report. Looking at the previous report in June, the market still punished Adobe despite a good quarter. Adjusted profit rose 11% YOY on that quarter to $3.35 per share as sales increased 14% to about $4.39 billion. Adobe's Digital Media segment, including its cloud business, rang up sales of $3.2 billion, up 15%, and ended that quarter sitting on $5 billion cash. What's not to like? Well, guidance. What the street didn't like was the company lowering full-year earnings and sales guidance from full-year profit of $13.50/share and full-year sales of $17.65 billion compared to earlier guidance of $13.70/share and $17.9 billion.

COMMENT
No doubt today's inflation news will mean a 75-point interest rate hike from the US Fed. Inflation is here to stay and we must be serious to deal with it. The market is discounting a broad downturn in the economy. People are slow to realize that the tide has turned from central banks pouring stimulus into the market to hiking rates.
