COMMENT
Do all-time highs beget more all-time highs?

Bottom line is that back in October 2022, there was a major market low. After that, you typically see a new 4-year cycle in a 3-5 year cyclical bull market. By time, that should take us at least into the first half of next year. So the answer to the question is yes, and we can talk about some targets later. For now, the path of least resistance for equity markets remains up.

In Phase 2, the leaders typically are industrials, info tech, and basic materials. That's played out for the most part this year, especially info tech. But what we're seeing here, and on the semiconductor index, are early signs that we're failing to make new highs on the NASDAQ. The point is that we're starting to see signs of rotation away from information technology. 

COMMENT
Targets for the indices.

At the start of the year, he was telling clients that the target was 5400, or roughly 15% upside. But it's a moving target now so 6000 is his next target, which is above the previous target of 5800 that was broken a couple of weeks ago.

On the TSX, he's looking at around 26,000. Back in the summer, his big call was that the TSX would outperform the S&P 500. The reason is that we're getting late cycle, and that should favour resources and the resource-heavy TSX. So far, that story has played out.

COMMENT
Will rotation hold, or revert to tech addiction?

The MGK is a mega-cap growth ETF. Great way to look at all the big-cap tech bellwethers. We're seeing early signs that that's slowing down, which would be in line with this rotation out of some of the mega-cap leaders and into the broader market.

In his work he's seeing broadly a big rotation, which is positive. But it means we're pushing to the late cycle.

WATCH
A poster child for the sector.

Key takeaway is that this chart continues to work. Long-term uptrend, with no signs that it's broken down. But we are seeing early signs that this big thrust upward we've seen is stalling.

BUY
Pulled off significantly.

Downtrend since earlier this year, along with energy stocks in general. Over the next month and a half, energy is historically weak or sideways. January-April is a time of really positive seasonality. 

Price momentum started to improve. RSI started to tick up. Started to see institutional buying. Short-term price trend started to pick up. All of this tells him that the bigger downtrend is reversing, and now seeing signs of new uptrend. Next target is around $46, roughly 10% upside from here. Likes it here, attractive long-term entry point.

WATCH

Seeing series of higher lows, but if ADBE takes out the lows of 3 months ago, that will indicate a new, clearly defined downtrend. In the penalty box, trading sideways. He'd be on the sidelines, waiting for confirmation on which direction it's heading next.

BUY

Last week, transportation started to tick up, and he'd include CCL in that group. This one has just broken out of a range, and he really likes the breakout above $20 from the base. If his call on the broader market is correct, should be upside into first half of next year. Could then see retest of highs of 2021, around $30.

DON'T BUY

Support around $75. He prefers to see a turn in relative strength. Relative laggard for the last year+, so not being recommended to clients. If you're in TD right now, closely watch that support level. If it moves below, suggests rotating further out of TD, as there might be more downside. So many pitches coming by, just let this one go.

HOLD

A leader in the sector over the last year.

COMMENT
Canadian banks -- "worst will be first"?

In technical analysis, the similar theory is "Dogs of the Dow". Instead, he tries to put the best patterns and charts in front of clients. People like to vote for the underdog, but TD, for example, is not a dog he'd be voting for.
