NAFTA. For now, there’s still hope. Canadian dollar has been pulling back. But the economy overall is built on a house of cards. Oil and timber exports are really holding the exports up. If NAFTA goes away, can the consumer still hold up the economy. Some risks in the employment numbers. Canadian economy is hinging upon a lot of things where there’s risk.
Market over the summer. Great summer for equities. Shrugging off things and shooting higher. Usually see market weakness between May and October, especially in a mid-term election year. But not this year. Markets continue to grind higher.
US Housing. We look for breadcrumbs to follow that will lead us into the next recession. Housing is one of those breadcrumbs flashing a warning signal in the US. In US, below average sales, above average inventories.
Coke differs from the broader staples sector. It’s strong between March and June, so look for it in the second quarter. Seeing a rollover, and a short-term double top. Suggests more downside weakness. Heading for breaking support at $44 and $41. Stay away.
Materials do well from November to March. Look to buy into the fall. Technicals show a rollover, constantly pushing lower. Significant resistance. Stay away.
Technology is a growth sector, which mitigates the seasonal fluctuations. Above average growth this year. Seasonal strength between October and end of year. Tech will benefit from cyclicality and push higher to end of the year.
Apple has gone parabolic, which suggests it’s vulnerable to a pullback. Usually see a runup into its fall event (September 10 this year), and then a selloff. Don’t get into it now, wait for tech seasonality in October.
March to June is optimal time to buy. Big runup earlier this year didn’t materialize into a positive result. Worries him that there’s a lower significant high. Investor exhaustion. If it breaks $3.50, could see significant downside. Be cautious.
Trend of higher highs, higher lows. Trend is in your favour. Broader markets reaching all-time highs. Positive risk sentiment is touching all the riskier asset classes, and as long as it remains, it’s away to the races.
(A Top Pick May 18/18 , Up 15%) Healthcare has been a political football. Seasonally positive in the summer. Best sector this summer. Don’t push your hand too much in the fall. Vulnerable here.
(A Top Pick May 18/18, Up 12%) Economic growth for technology is well beyond what he’s ever seen. Technology mitigates seasonal downturns. Trend of higher highs, higher lows. Apple’s vulnerability could bring it down.
(A Top Pick May 18/18, Up 5%) Covered call adds yield when the market goes sideways, as it usually does in the summer. You don’t have to time the market, you just participate and take down portfolio risk.
Best time to buy/sell is between March 4 and May 30. A way to maintain industrial exposure and take down risk. Back to all-time highs. Struggling to reach new highs. Momentum is fading. Vulnerable.
Internet stocks tend to do well from September to end of year. Technically, had a significant negative reaction to earnings. Going to be a lid on the stock until the recent gap gets closed. Nothing special right now.
Last half of the year is consumer spending season. Between August 2 and November 11 is prime seasonality. A defined pattern of higher highs and higher lows. Continue to ride that train.
