COMMENT
He's been bullish since late-March due to so much stimulus in the system, but in the last 3 weeks the markets has been narrowing with tech and healthcare facing headwinds now. 10 days ago we saw a strong reversal intra-day. He's become cautious, taking profits in tech names and holds short positions. He sees a rotation into transport stocks and medical devices. Expect bumpiness in the next few weeks. Earnings this week are important to watch to see how the market reacts to those reports and to guidance. Markets consistently rally on good vaccine or stimulus news, including today.
BUY
Gold outlook He likes gold now, though he's not a gold bug. He holds 15-20% gold, split between gold and silver miners. Silver is actually outperforming tech. Gold and silver are catching up to metals now, and have a long way to go given continued stimulus. He's long gold. Gold will be the most important theme in the market.
COMMENT

It's made great strides to compete with Amazon with next-day delivery. He'd still prefer Amazon, but Walmart will continue to do well. Discount retailers will. Amazon could pull back in this earnings period.

DON'T BUY

The semis have led the rally. There's short-term risk, and Intel has been struggling lately. He'd prefer AMD and Taiwan Semi. 5G is just starting and has a lot of growth for years to come.

BUY

Walmart? It's made great strides to compete with Amazon with next-day delivery. He'd still prefer Amazon, but Walmart will continue to do well. Discount retailers will. Amazon could pull back in this earnings period.

WEAK BUY

Tech and high-dividend payers are the most crowded parts of the market. Since the late-March bottom, any high-dividend payers has undeperformed. Utilities are really underperforming (but pay a yield) as are the banks. Where to go from here? This is a generational low in yields, which will, in coming years, will work their way higher. So pick your spots now: banks, like BAC and TD. There's near-term risk if COVID news doesn't get better which will increase insolvencies. He doesn't love the banks now, but he would pick TD.

BUY
Biotech has been strong, so steer away from this and go to pharma. Abbot is on the verge of breaking out after basing. There's potential with their vaccine. Pays around 1.5% dividend. He doesn't expect politicians to pressure pharma stocks during this pandemic.
BUY
Is the US cold war with China effecting the semi space (i.e. moving semi factories from China to US and Taiwan)? Trade relations continue to chill, yes. He'd own Lam or Taiwan Semi. The latter has seen huge lift in recent days. Lam broke out last week above previous highs and pulled back slightly, so it's a good time to add, and consistently beat estimates.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 06/19, Down 17%) He stop-lossed at the end of 2019 when Disney started to underperform. He sees significant challenges here given its cruises and theme parks.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 06/19, Up 49%) They produce chips for storage and telecoms, so it's a cloud stock. A great performer. He owns a lot of semis stocks. He'd buy MRVL today, but there's near-term stress in tech, but semis are the strongest spot in tech.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 06/19, Up 33%) The gold trade has a lot of legs. AEM is well-loved in the U.S. AEM has done a great job of growing by investing effectively. It continues to be a buy for him, just last week.
BUY

GDXJ gives him blanket exposure in gold. He owns a lot of gold stocks, including Newmont, Barrick and Kirkland Lake. You can get exposure to juniors through Dundee Precious Metals (he owns). All are interesting. GDXJ is not a bad way to get gold exposure.

DON'T BUY
If the market performs well and a stock you own isn't, be careful. Some investors buy broken stocks hoping it'll get fixed--he doesn't like this strategy, so don't buy Boeing. In fact, he's shorting Boeing. It was a wonderful company now facing challenges; the longer the challenges go on, the weaker the outlook. Not a fan.
BUY
FB has many levers to pull. Their platform is only partially monetized. Small/medium-sized businesses have been adding services in droves; FB could become a commerce website is significant. Their platforms all have massive user bases. The stock isn't technically stretched now. Sure, there are worries over regulation, but regulation would take years to happen. Now at $232 is a great entry point. A pullback is possible, too.
