Chart has some sort of bottoming formation in the latter part of 2011. Pulled back earlier this year but is now finding support. There is a certain seasonality in oil. Fundamentally, it ranks well compared to its peers. He is hoping to see it back up to the $35-$36 level by the dips below $30 he will Exit.

This one is tricky because it is trading in a very narrow range right now. The drop that occurred in 2011 is obviously finished and it is now in a consolidation phase. When stocks break out of a consolidation, they usually move off in that direction. Moving to the $42 level is quite likely. Buy half a position now and if it breaks out, Buy the other half. Have a Stop at $35.50.

Chart shows 3 waves, and the last one was a miniature, which is usually the last wave where you see a lot of enthusiasm. Feels that $28 will be the landing place, which could be the short-term worse case scenario. Probably the best case scenario is that it will consolidate in the low $30s before there is a chance to move up.

In the short term the chart looks very bad. Volume is quite high in the beginning of this year and it moved up to $.54 but then came right back down again. Very deadly sign. Could see them trading down around the low $0.30 range very soon.

Markets. The recent pullback is a natural occurrence. There was a strong gain from the fall of last year until now, especially in the US market, not as much in the Canadian market. There is a lot of positive news coming out of the US leading out from some of the darker corners of the recession.

Euro. Euro zone is so bad and yet the euro itself does nothing but goes up. What is going on? The euro is very popular and very liquid to trade. Breached back in 2010 at the $1.30 level, which was the resistant point. You want to be very careful with the $1.30 level. Chart shows a high in late 2009 and another one in early 2011 giving it a bit of a downward trend, giving it a wedge. This could turn around, especially if the US economy picks up. Going down to $1.20-$1.15 looks very likely. If it breaks $1.25, he feels it will definitely go down.

Home building. This is one of the leading indicators. As homes are built, the rest of the economy picks up afterwards when people have to feel those homes. This is a good sector to look at. Had a great day today. Doesn't expect to see a huge rally but it is an initial indicator.

Moving averages when entering or exiting positions? 50 or 200 day moving averages are great ways to Enter or Exit or to place Stops. He prefers the 250 day moving average and to look at the interaction between them and if they are crossing over. If the 50 is way above the 200, then we are in an uptrend and there is a strong likelihood that there will be a reversion back to the 200. The further out you go, the more likely it is. He uses a Moving Stop when a stock is moving up in order to lock in his profits.

Chart looks really good here. There was a strong decline in 2011 and a chart now shows a reversal showing strength and volume. There is a clear uptrend. Whenever there is a selloff, there is some additional buying which creates an upward channel. Seems to be consolidating a bit right now. If it breaks out above $30, he thinks it can go up to $38 pretty quickly. A stop/loss should go in around the $27 mark.
