TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

During times of market uncertainty holding utilities that pay steady dividends is a conservative strategy.  We again reiterate this preferred share from Canadian Utilities as a TOP PICK.  Its perpetual dividend pays a robust yield above government bonds and HISAs.  We continue to recommend a stop at $19, looking to achieve $25 -- upside potential over 17%.  Yield 5%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Insurance companies paying steady dividends are a conservative holding during market uncertainty.  We again reiterate this preferred share from SunLife financial paying a perpetual dividend with a good yield.  We recommend maintaining the stop at $20.50, looking to achieve $25.00 -- upside potential of over 15%.  Yield 5%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Solid companies paying good dividends makes sense during market uncertainty.  We again reiterate HLPR, an ETF holding Canadian preferred shares with laddered rate expiries, as a TOP PICK.  As a Corporate Class ETF, it does not pay dividends, making it very tax efficient for non-registered accounts for Canadian investors.  We recommend maintaining the stop at $34.00, looking to achieve $43.00 — upside potential of 18%.  Yield 0%

COMMENT

His indicators signalled high risk yesterday, for the first time in many months. The reason is market breadth is terrible--AI and energy only are making gangbuster returns. This is unhealthy and can't last. His bearometer looks at sentiment (too enthusiastic), seasonality (not good), breadth, valuation (high), momentum and other factors.

COMMENT

A classic downhill chart that seems to be leveling off. Now, we see a transition based on a March low and slightly higher April low. It's a consolidation pattern. Scores 6/10. If the chart breaks out, it will be quite bullish.

DON'T BUY

The chart has broken down; an old support level became resistance and has been falling since. Wants to see the chart settle first. The chart has broken lows from 2022 and 2023 and is below that.

DON'T BUY

The dividend is 16%, which is a clue. The market fears the dividend will be cut. The chart has been hammered--something happened to it. Is a sharp decline in the chart. Avoid.

DON'T BUY

The old high was above $90, happening twice since 2024, but the breakouts didn't last. Tariffs effect them? Probably. Avoid.

HOLD

Was stuck in a range until breaking out in 2025. Since then, is seeing marginally higher highs. It's now consolidating. If you own, hold on. If it breaks out, buy, but this could remain in consolidation for a while.
