Market. US tech stocks are hitting fresh record highs. They are more represented by the NASDAQ and are lagging the S&P-500 and Dow. It is being overshadowed by Boeing. The top five stocks in the S&P represent over 20% of the S&P index. If you look at an equal-weighted S&P index, it is now outperforming.

Banks. The pullback in banks is inevitable, both in Canada and the US. A number are approaching their 200 day moving averages. If a bank breaks through it would be a buy.

Suncor Energy Inc
It has not run quite as much as some of the others. It depends on what WTI does. If it continues to rise, then it will be quite positive. Eventually they could re-instate their dividend.

Cineplex Inc
It is depended highly on the takeover offer. Technically the buyer has to continue with the offer but given the buyer's financial position it is unlikely they can continue. If it goes through it could mean high upside. He thinks the deal will be negotiated down some. If it does no go through, it could mean low single digits. He thinks things will come back to what they were in movie theatres. You have to be prepared with this one and to be a gambler.

Royal Bank
There is no news to account for the move. In the last three weeks the banks have been on fire but they could be running out of steam. He hopes prices come off so he can do some buying. Three months from now we will get a whole lock-down quarter and that will be more significant.

Air Canada
Airlines are trades and never long term investments because mostly airlines tend to be their own worst enemy as they buy more planes and add more capacity as we get to the top of a cycle. He thinks it will take a long time for people to want to fly the way they did before. They are burning huge amounts of cash now. He would not buy one.

He owns ENB-T because it is a higher quality company and has bigger projects that are somewhat deferred due to environmental assessments. The dividend is stable and was not at risk.
