N/A

Bonds and utilities. He knew a push from Central bankers was coming about 6 months ago wanting higher rates. Recent data indicates that some of it bears higher rates, but some was more wishing for animal spirits. For the last 3 days, bonds and utilities kind of crashed, which is pretty significant. That sort of confirms the 6-month watershed. Around July/August, it was noticed that relative to other sectors, bonds and utilities were starting to get weak. The price proceeded to go higher as we had a couple of data points that were rough in September/October, but in the last 3 days, there has been a real fall off. This push for higher rates is eventually going to weigh on things. For now, it's full steam ahead on everything for pro growth.

Emera Inc

Got rid of all his utilities during the summer. The chart shows this one has a pretty decent trend, but the last little action has been pretty negative. It looks like it wants to migrate back to $47. The last 3 days on this was pretty significant.

Methanex Corp

This has had a significant climb. What would be the exit point? You don't need anything technical, you can use a non-technical decision. If a stock becomes something like 8% or 20% of your portfolio, you can piece it away. Technically, this got through $74, and the chart shows a nice upward trend line from mid-2016. He doesn't see any more resistance until it gets to around $77. All indicators are still pointing up and there is no reason to get off.

HOLD

The chart shows this is still going up, but something that is still a little concerning is that it has kind of gone up parabolically in the last little while. At worst, he thinks it is going to want to pause. A really good space to be in. He would look for it to go sideways before it continues on. This is one he would hang onto. It's part of the pro-growth theme.

Torc Oil & Gas Ltd

The 1st place this is going to run into resistance is at around $7.80, so there is a lot of upside left. It should start pushing onto $9.15. It's a good stock to own right now.

NVIDIA Corporation

-Chart shows a steady climb, with a recent pullback to about $180. You don't want to see it get below $180. This looks pretty positive with some of the indicators starting to turn up.

A fantastic looking stock. The last upward trend is really positive. If it can get above the high of around $1.70 it reached in early 2017, it is not going to have much resistance. If it could get above the $1.80 point, it could easily be a double.

PAST TOP PICK
Agnico-Eagle Mines

(A Top Pick Dec 28/16. Up 5.03%.) Chart shows a downward triangle, and the stock may have broken out recently and it looks really quite bullish. If you didn't own a name, this is one he would be comfortable with.

PAST TOP PICK
Fairfax Financial

(A Top Pick Dec 28/16. Up 4.99%.) This has been a little bit all over the board. It would still be a Buy today, but as far as the insurance space goes, there are probably better names. With this one, you get potential for improvement in their insurance underwriting.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 28/16. Up 0.72%.) If it gets above $60, away it goes and will probably get close to $65, and then he would look for $80. This is one to hold for a couple of years. He would buy this one today.

Usually silver will lead gold by a little bit. Everything in silver right now is looking really, really good. Chart shows a downward pattern, but has reached the upper side of the channel and should be breaking out anytime now, and do quite well through to mid-March and maybe April, depending on the whole complex. Silver is much more volatile than gold and tends to lead on the way up and on the way down.

COMMENT

Natural gas has been a tough space lately. There are no names that have really blown the doors off. This stock had a big drop and has been sort of basing for quite a long time. The beta on this is much higher than the market or the sector. One of the bigger names that pays a dividend might be a better choice.

COMMENT

Chart shows a nice upward channel. If you own, and it gets outside of either side of the channel, you could think about moving out. However, the stock market is a good place to be for the next 3-5 months.

COMMENT

Blockchain technology. The chart shows this has broken out of its base significantly this year. It is really hard to tell by using technicals. His advice would be to stick with what you know.

COMMENT
Precision Drilling

Compared to the producers, drillers have had more carnage. The one positive thing is the action in the last 6 months. All the indicators are turning up, and if it can move up to about $4.25, it would probably equate to some big potential upside, with $5.80 being the next level. A really good space and seasonally it has come into play. The sector tends to deteriorate in April and May and picks up again in the summer.
