| TOP PICK | | iShares MSCI Singapore E.T.F. | EWS-N | 15.900 | Likes to have his money outside of Canada and he likes the Asian story. Wants investments that mitigates the Cdn$. Pretty volatile but a nice way to play China. | 2007-10-09 | |
| TOP PICK | | iUnits Materials E.T.F. | XMA-T | 36.800 | Bullish on base metals. In spite of the 12% correction in Canada and 14% in the US, the story is still pretty good. Until he hears otherwise, they are going to continue holding up. Thanks pricing is still good on the fundamental sign for aluminum, nickel and copper. | 2007-10-09 | |
| TOP PICK | | Fording Canadian Coal Trust (Inc Trust) | FDG.UN-T | 40.060 | Has just broken out of a base. Metallurgical coal prices are going up. Pays an excellent return as a yield. | 2007-10-09 | |
| BUY | | EMC Corp | EMC-N | 21.810 | The on-balance volume, relative strength and moving averages all paint a very positive picture. MACD has turned up recently. Relative strength is around 65 or 70, which says that it has not been too overbought. | 2007-10-09 | |
| Comment | | Starfield Resources Inc. | SRU-T | 1.750 | Great pop in May and now seems to be stuck in a trading range. Moving average for the same time is trying to tell you that it is almost ready to give you a Sell signal, but hasn't done that yet. You can't lead a MACD indicator; you have to let it penetrate. A concern is the relative strength in May compared to the current weaker relative strength. Volume indicates people are buying. | 2007-10-09 | |
| HOLD | | Birchcliff Energy Ltd. | BIR-T | 4.360 | The chart doesn't tell you very much. Seems to be in a band between $3.75 and $4.90. It is showing a potential of having a MACD crossover. The whole energy sector as a group has not really gone anywhere. Feels the downside is limited. | 2007-10-09 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | BCE Inc. | BCE-T | 40.350 | (A Top Pick Jan 30/07. Up 57.1%.) At the time, telecommunications was screaming that it was a good place to be. Pricing was good. | 2007-10-09 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | iShares MSCI Italy E.T.F. | EWI-N | 35.780 | (A Top Pick Jan 30/07. Up 5.8%.) Still bullish on Europe. Still likes this one. | 2007-10-09 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | iShares MSCI France E.T.F. | EWQ-N | 39.190 | (A Top Pick Jan 30/07. Up 13.8%.) There was a Sell signal back in the summer so he sold his holdings. | 2007-10-09 | |
| HOLD | | Wachovia Corp | WB-N | 51.420 | Part of a recent bump up from the summer in financials. Short-term moving averages looks like it is trying to give you a signal. | 2007-10-09 | |
| HOLD | | Wachovia Corp | WB-N | 51.420 | Not interested in the financials, but they do give a bit of concern right now and would like to see a bit of carry through. | 2007-10-09 | |
| HOLD | | Wi-Lan Inc. | WIN-T | 3.220 | Doesn't know the fundamentals, but it looks like it is trying to build a bit of a base. | 2007-10-09 | |
| BUY | | Qualcom | QCOM-Q | 42.651 | Likes the sector. Above its 50/200 day. Relative strength is good. MACD still says to hang on to it. | 2007-10-09 | |
| Comment | | Potash Corp of Saskatchewan | POT-T | 111.000 | An exceptional uptrend. Usually the issue is whether you are a short or long-term investor. For short-term, and you have a narrow window with prices being more sensitive, you might want to wait until it comes back to the trend line. For long-term investors were indicators are good, you probably can't go to wrong. The MACD looks like it is trying to register a signal, but hasn't quite completely crossed it. | 2007-10-09 | |
| WATCH | | Petromin Resources LTD. | PTR-X | 0.410 | The chart doesn't tell a lot. Looks like it is stuck in a trading range. The MACD had registered a Sell signal a couple of weeks ago. Trading has been halted, so whatever story comes out of this may reverse the MACD. Volume indicates it is being accumulated. | 2007-10-09 | |
| WAIT | | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 113.650 | Anything along the up channel would probably be a good entry point. He would recommend anything on a pullback to $95 to $100. | 2007-10-09 | |
| HOLD | | Timminco Ltd. | TIM-T | 18.140 | MACD is still positive. It is still above its 50 and 200 moving averages and there is a lot of air space there. The stock has been accumulated all the way up on its rise. He wouldn't be surprised if it wants to come back to a round the $11 level, but right now there is nothing to suggest to get out of it. | 2007-10-09 | |
| Comment | | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Stop Losses – For a stop-loss, you can use a 10-day, 10 week trailing stop or a true range stop. For the latter, you should check this online. | 2007-10-09 | |
| BUY | | Solana Resources Ltd. | SOR-X | 2.200 | Has a nice little move from the base that was built into June. Oil/gas sector has really not gone anywhere. MACD is above both its moving averages and looks like it is trying to give a bit of a Sell signal, but looks like a pretty good story. Stock is being accumulated. | 2007-10-09 | |
| SELL | | Alimentation Couche-Tard (B) | ATD.B-T | 20.230 | Has been in a long-term decline. The consumers staples sector has been weakening on a relative basis. Before getting into the stock, you would like to see it hold and build a base for the time being. There are probably better stocks available. | 2007-10-09 | |
| Comment | | Sandvine Corp. | SVC-T | 6.840 | Pretty good up move into September, but recently has shown a double top, but on short-term basis you are going to see this all the time. MACD looks like it is trying to cross over. Keep an eye on the 50-day moving average as well as the MACD Sell signal. Technology sector is a pretty good sector right now. | 2007-10-09 | |
| TOP PICK | | iUnits Materials E.T.F. | XMA-T | 32.160 | This has been one of the strongest, dominant sectors in the last number of years. Since good pricing for nickel and uranium. Likes it on a long-term, 5-10 year basis. | 2007-05-08 | |
| TOP PICK | | iUnits Info Tech | XIT-T | 8.470 | Thinks it could be easily a double. The 2 main components are Nortel’s (NT-T) restructuring story and RIM (RIM-) with the launch of its Pearl line. | 2007-05-08 | |
| TOP PICK | | Canadian National R.R. | CNR-T | 57.850 | The recent break from past congestion stood out. Settlement of the strike and are past the worst weather in the West. Excellent cash flow. | 2007-05-08 | |

| Comment | | TSX Group | X-T | 42.560 | $50 is at risk of moving below 200 day moving average and the momentum on the MACD is out of the stock. Be cautious. | 2007-05-08 | |
| BUY | | Cott Corp | BCB-T | 17.760 | Consumers’ staples is becoming interesting. The MACD is in the process of bottoming. $17 is a key level and can see some upside from here. Good risk/reward ratio. | 2007-05-08 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | | Breakwater Resources | BWR-T | 2.420 | Chart looks good. He likes the base metals market. | 2007-05-08 | |

| HOLD | | ConocoPhillips | COP-N | 70.250 | In the last 14-15 months, the oil sector has not really gone anywhere. It is now in a period where you “ wait and see”. | 2007-05-08 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | BCE Inc. | BCE-T | 37.500 | (A Top Pick Jan 3007. Up 23%.) Had picked it because of the sector and it had a fantastic dividend. Pretty good support, but would be a little cautious at $34. | 2007-05-08 | |

| PAST TOP PICK | | iShares MSCI France E.T.F. | EWQ-N | 38.330 | (A Top Pick Jan 3007. Up 13%.) Has been happy with this, but may be clearing out in the summer. MACD seems to be waning. | 2007-05-08 | |
| BUY | | Oilexco Inc | OIL-T | 9.270 | Has outperformed oils in general. In a recent underwriting, an over allotment was taken up, which is usually a good sign. At a recent discovery at Kildare, which is positive. Would be cautious on the trend line, but it could go much higher. | 2007-05-08 | |
| Comment | | Thomson Reuters Corp | TRI-T | 45.770 | Acquiring Reuters Group (RTRSY-Q) resulting in a drop in price. May be a short-term blip. MACD was starting to wane just prior to the run-up.

| WAIT | | Mega Uranium Limited | MGA-T | 6.920 | Has dropped back to its support level. He would like to see it hold its trend line and let the MACD sort of rise up. Likes the sector. Doesn't know the stock’s fundamentals. | 2007-05-08 | |
| WAIT | | Encana Corp | ECA-T | 62.930 | He feels the more pure gas plays look better than the oils. Looks like it is trying to break through some resistance. Wait for a little more confirmation, a Friday's close. 1.4% yield. | 2007-05-08 | |
| SELL | | Bank of America | BAC-N | 51.400 | May be a problem on mortgages. It looks like the easy money for US banks has been made. He recently sold his banks. | 2007-05-08 | |
| DON'T BUY | | IndyMac Bancorp | IMB-N | 31.380 | Has had a long fall, but there is a small rise in the last couple of months. He expects around $37 would be the resistance point. This sector is not in favor with him. | 2007-05-08 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Apple | AAPL-Q | 85.550 | This is the stock that he could see could fall back to the $75 range which is where he would be a buyer. | 2007-01-30 | |
| TOP PICK | | BCE Inc. | BCE-T | 30.780 | Likes the telecommunications sector. Fantastic dividend. If it can get through the $33-$34 range, it will be pretty open sky for a while. | 2007-01-30 | |

| BUY on WEAKNESS | | Nova Chemicals Corp. | NCX-T | 35.350 | Seems to be stuck in a trading range and could see a downtrend to its lower support level. Would wait and you may be able to get it a little bit cheaper, hopefully $32-$33 range . | 2007-01-30 | |
| WATCH | | Activision Inc. | ATVID-Q | 16.720 | Had a nice uptrend since July and had a rounded top in July, which would give him some concerned. If you own, you might want to take some off the table. Keep an eye on the $16-$16.30 range. | 2007-01-30 | |

| Comment | | Suncor Energy Inc | SU-T | 87.810 | Caller bought a Put option at $78. Until oil gets too $65 again, he feels it is on a leg down, solar caller made a good Buy. | 2007-01-30 | |
| Comment | | Goldcorp Inc | G-T | 32.050 | Short term, it is in a bit of a trading range. Would be concerned if it fell through the $23/25 level. A lot of the golds might be stuck in a band here yet. | 2007-01-30 | |
