Australia is a big exporter to China. He thinks we are looking at a hard landing in China. Shanghai index moved up substantially in a year and a half in 2007/08 and then bottomed early and peaked again in third quarter of 2009 and then has been going down every since. You need to pay attention to this index. Thinks China and India will struggle for the next couple of years. In Europe you have banks reforming for some time and they are not aligning on how to do it. They have to get rid of the debt problems and there are no solutions except to cut, cut, cut and those are austerity measures. Governments have to make tough choices and they are not doing it.

Short? He got out at $36 and missed the next 10%. Because of QE3 he thinks precious metals are going up for the next 2 to 3 years so he would rather wait for the pullback and buy into the support although you could try to get some downside by shorting.

Augusta Gold

Good name. Rising costs in the gold sector will be factors for years. Juniors have more leverage and so you want to go into them when the time is right. Prefers Juniors, via an ETF

precious metals
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Argonaut Gold

Doesn't know the company to speak of the fundamentals. You have to look at the sector long term. If they have something very strong here then you sit here and buy on dips up to no more than 10% of portfolio.

Bank of Nova Scotia

ING purchase does not affect the stock. If you buy bank stocks for dividend you have to buy them when they are cheap. Dividend could go up just a little bit more before year end. You have to wait for pullbacks and he feels they will get one before year-end. A pull-back in the first half of next year also.

MegaBrands

Warrants: expire two years from now. They have had problems for years and years but chart is starting to breakout here over the last couple of months. Warrants should cause a tremendous resistance at $10.

Nat. Gas: Big warning: HNU is not the thing to hold for a long term for Nat. Gas. Look at 5 year chart of stock. It is the worst thing to hold long term. Fine trading vehicle to add some leverage to your trading short term.

Markets: Housing market picking up and new home sales picking up. He is interested in US or international because the Canadian market is not diversified away from resources and financials. He mostly is now buying multinationals out of the US, not local US companies. QE3: This whole thing is pushing on a string because interest rates are so low. You need stimulus in Japan away from monetary and into fiscal policy.

BUY
IGM Financial Inc.

Controlled by power financial, which he owns. A great stock to own but a lousy one to buy their funds, which makes it a great stock to own in the long run.

Bell Aliant

Expects no capital appreciation because it is wire line. Need to sign up people for fiber to the home. Will run out of tax credits soon. Dividend is safe for now but would not comment on the long-term.

Atrium Innovations.

Vitamin Business. Likes long term demographics of vitamin and supplement business. Unfortunately a lot of business is in Europe and is hurting them. Thinks there is definitely better places to be. He sold his holdings.

Consumer Products
BUY
Lorillard Inc.

Tobacco companies are the best to be in. Their profit margins are high and customers are addicted to them. A buy and hold type of thing. Enormously profitable and dividends go up regularly. Today's weakness could be an analyst downgrading it.

Transalta Corp

Dividend is telling you there is an issue. You are lacking investment safety and dividend safety and the yield is telling you that. Poor assets in poor geographies.
