If you look at the last 3-6 months, we've seen a bit of a broadening of the market cycle. It's no longer all about tech and communications. Technology is starting to float to the bottom of the 11 sectors in terms of performance. Now other cyclicals are starting to perform well -- industrials, basic materials, etc.
It's great for continued market upside.
The concern really is about how much money they're spending. If you look at the hyperscalers, we're talking about 100's of billions of dollars. The market's saying "show me" that what you're spending is going to produce great results.
We're seeing a shift -- instead of the build up, we're going to the build out that's the infrastructure required around data centres and AI.
Likes them because for some time we've seen valuation discounts in international markets and emerging markets. Seeing a breakout in Europe above previous technical ceilings, and seeing that in EMs as well.
Because the USD is not as dominant as it was, you're getting upside on the currency as well.
When you look at the second year of a presidential cycle (ie. with midterm elections), it's always a bit more volatile and choppy. That year can be softer relative to the other 3 years of the cycle.
Throw in the renegotiation of CUSMA and predictions on US monetary policy, there's going to be a bit more volatility. For an active investor, you can take advantage of some of these ups and downs (such as last year, when the S&P dropped almost 20%).
What's interesting about some of these domestic automakers is that they handily outperformed TSLA.
Super-cyclical. Depends on the consumer, interest rates and, of course, CUSMA. That said, technicals look fine -- higher highs and higher lows. Has to continue to execute. Buying back shares, increasing dividend.
Grocers are seeing a fantastic upswing in the technicals, particularly this one. Higher highs and higher lows both daily and weekly. You don't get a chart that's much better.
Likes industries with few competitors, and Canadian grocers are in that space -- can protect margins and revenues. Tracking better than EMP.A, which he also owns.
