| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Timing the Market. Market averages is the net effect of all the money in the market. When it starts acting differently, going down, you are able to get out of the market. On April 16 the market changed its behaviour giving a series of losses on higher volume and giving lower lows and lower highs. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Categorizing Stock by Condition. Stocks that are poor performers i.e. going down when they market is going higher, are not worth looking at. Big money goes after the high-growth stocks in the best sectors. When these change, you know the market overall has changed and you can make different decisions. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Cisco | CSCO-Q | 22.183 | Very good performer in the bull market. Chart now shows it a long way off its high and it has broken down through the range that has been holding up and is now hitting lower lows. This indicates the stock in poor condition. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| Comment | SXC Health Solutions Corp. | SXC-T | 77.150 | Continues to trade up near its highs and is trading in a very take range in the highs. This is a sign that the investors in it are not selling. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Gafisa SA | GFA-N | 13.000 | (A Top Pick Nov 13/09. Down 23%.) South American homebuilder. Emerging market stocks have really dropped off from that time. Avoid this one for now. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Iamgold Corp | IMG-T | 19.230 | (A Top Pick Nov 13/09. No change.) Gold market has been flat since that time and golds stocks are essentially treading water in a basing process. Chart is showing a pretty good set up in May and June but still below the old high. Once it begins an uptrend, then gold and silver will really take off. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Neo Material Technoligies Inc. | NEM-T | 3.750 | (A Top Pick Nov 13/09. Down 14%.) Rare earth materials company. Now range bound and it's back to its lows. The range is in is still well above the point where it blasted off from. When it breaks out again, they can make another large gain. Watch. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 54.080 | Was trading well above its high and then broke down through its consolidation and has established a lower low. This is a very bad sign. Was a huge winner in the 90s and another one in the market of 02-08 and it is rare for huge winners to repeat. Will continue to have net selling over a long period of time. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Inmet Mining | IMN-T | 46.100 | One of Canada's bigger resource plays. Went through a major decline since the beginning of the year. Very sharp decline in a short period of time in January making it damaged goods. Bounce back didn't take it very far. 45% decline indicates big money is not interested. Dead money and it's going to go lower. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| DON'T BUY | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Where would you put cash if a double dip were in sight? If we are in the double dip, as investors we don't need to figure that out, but just what the market trend is. Market blindsided us this week making new buys very unreliable. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| Comment | Semafo Inc | SMF-T | 8.730 | Gold stock and just continues to keep chugging higher. Stock is clearly on fire but the risk is the length of time it has been going higher. Up 45%-50% from the last base of $5.50. How much more can it go before it goes into a significant downturn? You might have a better risk-controlled price later on. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Cameco Corporation | CCO-T | 23.500 | Behaviour of investors changed in mid-January when it undercut the uptrend. Money is now coming out of uranium. No attractiveness from an investor's standpoint. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Trade Template. Use an S&P 500 chart and draw a line from the high in April down to the high in June. That is the range the market is trading in. Market is unable to cross over the line on a short-term basis. Most investors should not try to make any money in a correction. If you are going to trade, do it in a trading range the chart shows. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| Comment | LuLulemon Athletica | LLL-T | 42.520 | Time Frame in Perspective. Chart shows strong upward trend in the last 52 weeks. Currently range bound since the correction started but it is trading closer to its high. Looking at this stock on a longer-term basis, it and many others like it are closing in on their old pre-bear market highs. It is normal for investors to sell stocks when they get back near their highs. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| Comment | iShares Xinhua China 25 ETF | FXI-N | 41.180 | US and Chinese market have been step in step since 2002-2003 but the Chinese market peaked last November and is actually in worse condition now than the North American markets. Doesn't seem to be the leader anymore, otherwise it would be trading better. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| TOP PICK | iPATH DJ-UBS Coffee | JO-N | 45.850 | Huge leap are full all of a sudden. Has cleared a long range that it has been trading in. Did a little consolidation around $43 and then gapped higher recently and continues to trade near its highs. Use an entry point of about $45. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| TOP PICK | SXC Health Solutions Corp. | SXC-T | 77.150 | Pharmacy benefits company. Has had very strong growth and is a real favourite of US mutual and pension funds. Trading in a very tight range with highs around $77. Wouldn't be surprised to see a pullback to the $72 range because of market conditions, which would be a good place to get it. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| TOP PICK | MercadoLibre | MELI-Q | 58.150 | Online marketplace that serves a lot of the countries in the South and Latin America. Volatile stock and is a little erratic now. Fantastic fundamentals. Recently broke out of a long (December-June) range, so as long as it continues to trade around the $58 range, it has a lot of potential to go higher. | 2010-06-25 | ||
| TOP PICK | Iamgold Corp | IMG-T | 19.400 | Gold is a very strong sector. Has undergone another round of running higher in the last 2-3 weeks. Gold stocks are volatile so look for a better entry point. | 2009-11-13 | ||
|
| |||||||
| TOP PICK | Gafisa SA | GFA-N | 33.750 | Premier homebuilder in Brazil. Very high growth. Earnings were up roughly 350% in the last quarter. An emerging market play. Very high growth. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| TOP PICK | Neo Material Technoligies Inc. | NEM-T | 50.990 | Manufactures precision magnetic products out of rare earth materials. A smaller company so will be more volatile so look for a correction before buying and try to get at a round $4. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Encana Corp | ECA-T | 58.410 | (A Top Pick Aug 8/08. Down 15%.) Natural gas is not a place to be. This has held up better than most, as it is one of the best in the world. Prefers the oil sector. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Stanley Inc. | SXE-N | 28.080 | (A Top Pick Aug 8/08. Down 22%.) Has a very lucrative 2-year contract to replace all the US passports but this is going to run out. Also the US government is cutting costs so you don't know what you will end up with. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Mindray Medical International Ltd. | MR-N | 30.970 | (A Top Pick Aug 8/08. Down 18%.) Chinese company that makes imaging equipment that got FDA approval about 18 months ago. Earnings growth has tapered off. Now trading in a very flat consolidation and technically it looks like it is going to go higher. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Bonds. Mid-to long-term (10-30 year) bond rates have run substantially higher, which means bond prices have plummeted. Looks like it may be starting again. If there is a continuation of rising interest rates, investors in bonds and bond funds could suffer a significant amount of loss on their capital. iShares Canadian Long Bond ETF (XLB-T) would be a good one to use. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Trading Up. Buy the top performing stocks based on a growing divergence between the best performers and the rest of the market. Throughout history the strongest stocks have been the ones that continued to hit new highs and made the most money. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Pair Trading. Go Long the stronger companies and Short the weaker companies in the same sector. Money managers will be selling off their laggards and move their money into the strong companies. This can be a dangerous thing in a Bull market. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| WATCH | San Gold Corporation | SGR-X | 3.030 | Gold sector is very strong right now and this has been one of the winners. In a sideways range right now but is acting like it is going to go higher. Watch for it to break out above $3.20 and it should really start to take off again. If it breaks down to $2.94, that is a Sell signal. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| Comment | Crescent Point Energy Corp | CPG-T | 38.910 | Buy winners at the 50-day moving average. When you miss getting in at the bottom, you don't get the “first entry” chance any more. This one has trended along the 50-day moving average line pretty well all the way up. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Finning Int | FTT-T | 15.890 | Trending between 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Not considered a high-growth company. Prefers companies with a unique service or dominant position in the marketplace. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| STRONG BUY | Aecon Group Inc | ARE-T | 13.180 | A major Canadian company in heavy construction, which has been a very good sector over the last 6-7 years. Has broken out of its base in the $13 range and is now off to the races. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | 3-Trade Strategy. If a stock breaks down 5%-10% below what you paid, Sell to protect your capital. If you like the stock his strategy is to have a stoploss with a Buy below the stoploss. Example $20 stock and a $19 stoploss but have a Buy order at $15. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Luminex Corp | LMNX-Q | 13.270 | Caller is asking about averaging down. You should never average down but you should average out with winners. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Buy Winners coming out of Bases or Consolidations. There is no money in a Basing pattern. The longer it goes and the deeper it is there are a lot of shareholders that are not happy. As it tries to recover their going to try and sell. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| WATCH | Suncor Energy Inc | SU-T | 36.890 | Oil sands has not been the best place for playing oil stocks so this would not be his first choice. There is a lot of potential upside for the big producers. This one has been range bound since June. If it breaks out over $40.38, there will be a resumption of the uptrend. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Sell Strategy. Sell when the stock undercuts the uptrend. This fabulous market is not going to last forever and we are getting late in the cycle. The bottom of a trend channel is the 50-day moving average. If it undercuts that is your Sell signal. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| Comment | Zenn Motor Company Inc. | ZNN-X | 4.000 | Chart shows it broke out of a base in April, formed another base from April to August and broke out in August. It then undercut the last base ($5.30?) and fell back down to the bottom of the previous base. That is a big Sell signal. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| HOLD | Stem Cell Therapeutics | SSS-X | 0.155 | (Market Call Minute.) Volatile stock and you can hold it if it hangs in there but be careful. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| BUY | Galleon Energy Inc. | GO-T | 5.520 | (Market Call Minute.) | 2009-11-13 | ||
|
| |||||||
| WATCH | Thompson Creek Metals | TCM-T | 12.300 | (Market Call Minute.) Molybdenum. One of the best base metal companies in Canada but the stock is not trading that great right now so watch to make sure that it doesn't continue to break down. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| HOLD | Bankers Petroleum | BNK-T | 5.090 | (Market Call Minute.) Has been a good one. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| HOLD | Canadian National R.R. | CNR-T | 57.100 | (Market Call Minute.) Has just broken out again and railroads have been pretty strong in the last few months. | 2009-11-13 | ||
| SELL | Macys Inc. (formerly Federated Department Stores) | M-N | 18.010 | (Market Call Minute.) | 2009-11-13 | ||
| DON'T BUY | FNX Mining Company | FNX-T(Dead) | 15.000 | Not a fan of stepping in on this one at this point. Would like to see it recover to at least the $22/$23 level. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | First Quantum Minerals | FM-T | 61.580 | Market doesn’t like these stocks. If the US$ keeps strengthening it is a risky venture trying to figure out where the bottom is. A lot of resource stocks have made a lot of money since 2002 but there's no reason they can't go a lot lower. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Gold: Has always found gold bullion a little difficult to make a forecast on. The breakdown of gold stocks has surprised him. His concern is that gold stocks have more down side than base metals, oil/gas or commodities. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | General Motors Corporation | GM-N | 10.030 | Wouldn't touch their bonds. Still pays a dividend, but doesn't know when they're going to cut it. This area is too speculative. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Yahoo! | YHOO-Q | 19.900 | Technically it is at a support level, which would mean that you could step in right here but the situation is too unknown regarding takeovers and strategies. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| BUY on WEAKNESS | Canadian Natural Rsrcs | CNQ-T | 77.580 | In the short run, you can see the oil/gas stocks going lower, especially if oil goes below $110. Very close to its level earlier this year, which technically means it is still in an uptrend. Likes the entry point here. Look for weakness to get in. As long as it doesn't seriously undercut the $72/$73 level you could see a rebound that could take it near its old high. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| Comment | HBP NYMEX Nat'l Gas Bull+ | HNU-T | 17.000 | Natural gas ran right through the shoulder season this year. The decline in natural gas has been massive and is back at the level it was at in February. Very close to being a buy for a trade and potentially a good hold for a 6 to 9 month timeframe. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| WATCH | SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. | SNC-T | 53.200 | World-class engineering firm. Holding up far better than most stocks. Currently near the low of about 2 months ago. Would like to see a move towards the low all or a move up to about $57. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| BUY on WEAKNESS | Oilexco Inc | OIL-X | 15.250 | One of his favourite stocks in the oil area. Much better shape than some of the others. In the short run, it may be weak but this price level is pretty good. Wait to see if you can get it a little bit cheaper. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| TOP PICK | Encana Corp | ECA-T | 70.950 | Thinks oil/gas stocks are going to rebound. Good entry point around here but in the near term you might be able to get a better price. Watch for a rebound back to the old high. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| TOP PICK | Stanley Inc. | SXE-N | 36.060 | Has the sole contract to replace the US passports over the next 2 years. Very lucrative contract. Good earnings visibility for the next couple of years. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| TOP PICK | Mindray Medical International Ltd. | MR-N | 37.910 | Manufactures imaging equipment. The selloff on Thursday was too large for the breakout so if the stock undercuts $36 you want to get out. Volatile and a bit erratic. Very good earnings growth and they got FDA approval last year so there is a lot of room for growth. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| BUY | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 142.750 | One of his favourite stocks. Very good earnings growth. One of the few stocks that went back to its old highs and hadn't fallen that far in the first place. A premier world-class company. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| WATCH | Hudbay Minerals Inc. | HBM-T | 10.500 | Good example of what you want to see in a beaten-down mining company. Some very heavy volume in the last week or so. Typically a sign of a major bottom. Looks like some very strong support. Market is looking at this as a copper play, not zinc. Watch for it to go higher with a good accumulation. | 2008-08-08 | ||
| TOP PICK | Brookfield Asset Management (A) | BAM.A-T | 34.350 | His segue into industrial/commercial real estate in general. Not a pure play of a REIT but a company that continues to do good business and were involved in a takeover during a credit crunch starting last year so the stock has come off quite a bit. Expect it will start to come back when credit starts to loosen up. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| TOP PICK | Encana Corp | ECA-T | 84.570 | Canada's biggest natural gas producer. Natural gas price has doubled and the stock is in an uptrend. Thinks earnings growth is going to surprise people. | 2008-05-07 | ||
|
| |||||||
| TOP PICK | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 131.000 | Keeps reporting triple digit growth in earnings and sales. There is really nobody competing with the Blackberry. A nice quiet mover, chugging higher. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Microsoft | MSFT-Q | 29.210 | (A Top Pick Nov 21/07. Down 13%.) Was not bound as much as other stocks during the Bear but it’s obviously not coming back either. Clearly the issue with Yahoo (YHOO-Q) is hanging over its head. Can't see any catalyst in the short run. Still a Hold for a few months and if it doesn't do anything, get rid of it. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | CASH | CASH | 0.000 | (A Top Pick Nov 21/07.) Get your cash into the market now. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Bidz.com Inc. | BIDZ-Q | 10.150 | (A Top Pick Nov 21/07. Down 42%.) This stock was red hot at the time. Had very good fundamentals. Investors abandoned small caps, especially ones that are relatively new to the market. Time to move on. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Market: - Market is moving higher. Jan/23 climax selloff marked a significant bottom. Went through a bottoming out process that ended March 17. A lot of selling has been done and a lot of companies continue to grow their earnings and sales. Most stocks are recovering. Stay away from financials. Junior resource stocks continue to be in a terrible Bear market. Doesn't know what it will take to get them out, so stick with large caps of over $10 billion market cap trading at least 7 or 8 hundred thousand shares a day. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| BUY | Mastercard Inc. | MA-N | 291.010 | A lot of buying by big money has been going into this company. A benefit they have is that they don't carry the possible default risk. Up nearly 6X of the original IPO price. Could pull back in the short term, but long-term it looks like a big winner. Mutual funds will continue to accumulate this stock. If you own, continue to Hold. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| BUY | Visa Inc. | V-N | 88.500 | They don't have the problem of a possible default risk as they are just processing transactions. Mutual funds will be accumulating this stock. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| HOLD | Arch Coal Inc. | ACI-N | 63.600 | Coal is a sector that has been absolutely hot. Any coal stocks should be a Hold. The issue with the big winners is that they are quite extended from the start of their run. Long-term fundamentals for coal continue to look very good. A significant pullback of 15% or 20% would be your opportunity to buy. Sentiment will be negative at that point but it is a much better risk/reward ratio for a longer-term play. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| HOLD | Fording Canadian Coal Trust (Inc Trust) | FDG.UN-T | 69.120 | Coal is a sector that has been absolutely hot. Any coal stocks should be a Hold. The issue with the big winners is that they are quite extended from the start of their run. Long-term fundamentals for coal continue to look very good. A significant pullback of 15% or 20% would be your opportunity to buy. Sentiment will be negative at that point but it is a much better risk/reward ratio for a longer-term play. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Westjet Airlines | WJA-T | 15.960 | One of the few airlines that was a big winner a year ago but it just made another lower low, which is not a good sign. Pretty significantly off its highs. Would stay away from the airlines in general. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| BUY | Thompson Creek Metals | TCM-T | 23.350 | A significant player in the molybdenum space. Starting to recover now. Can see at recovering to $27 giving you a short-term trading opportunity. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| BUY | Canadian Oil Sands Trust | COS.UN-T | 48.250 | Oil/gas sector is really hot and this is a long-term proven winner. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Timminco Ltd. | TIM-T | 23.700 | Their technology is being challenged. Stock made a huge gain, but ever since then it has become very choppy and the way it trades. The big run-up was on expectation meaning there is no profit yet from that side of the business. Something does not seem right there. There are other sources for solar such as First Solar (FSLR-Q), a rise technology (APV-T) and Canadian Solar (CSIQ-Q). | 2008-05-07 | ||
| BUY | First Solar Inc. | FSLR-Q | 276.850 | If you like the solar space, some of the companies that you could consider are First Solar (FSLR-Q), a rise technology (APV-T) and Canadian Solar (CSIQ-Q). | 2008-05-07 | ||
| BUY | Canadian Solar Inc. | CSIQ-Q | 28.290 | If you like the solar space, some of the companies that you could consider are First Solar (FSLR-Q), a rise technology (APV-T) and Canadian Solar (CSIQ-Q). | 2008-05-07 | ||
| BUY | Arise Technologies Corporation | APV-T | 2.190 | If you like the solar space, some of the companies that you could consider are First Solar (FSLR-Q), a rise technology (APV-T) and Canadian Solar (CSIQ-Q). | 2008-05-07 | ||
| SELL | NYSE Group | NYX-N | 73.260 | Q: Should caller sell this and by Visa (V-N). A: NYSE Group is not really performing very well. Thinks this would be a reasonable trade but there could be a pullback on Visa in the short term. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| HOLD | Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce | CM-T | 73.400 | Undergoing a bit of a recovery, but it is a long way off the high. He would suggest not buying any Canadian banks right here, at least this one. He would like to see more of a recovery. Give it some time to go through a bottoming process but this could go on for a long time. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Agrium | AGU-T | 86.540 | Fertilizers are in a very interesting situation right now. Made huge long-term moves and very large short-term moves. Historically, the stock is very extended. Once a stock is 70% to 100% from its 200 day moving average, it is looking for a significant short-term decline. This is hanging in close to its high, which is a positive but a lot of the volume has been on the down side in the group since they peaked a couple of weeks ago. Very high risk right now. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Potash Corp of Saskatchewan | POT-T | 199.700 | Fertilizers are in a very interesting situation right now. Made huge long-term moves and very large short-term moves. Historically, the stock is very extended. Once a stock is 70% to 100% from its 200 day moving average, it is looking for a significant short-term decline. A lot of the volume has been on the down side in the group since they peaked a couple of weeks ago. Very high risk right now. | 2008-05-07 | ||
|
| |||||||
| DON'T BUY | Mosaic Company (The) | MOS-N | 124.650 | Fertilizers are in a very interesting situation right now. Made huge long-term moves and very large short-term moves. Historically, the stock is very extended. Once a stock is 70% to 100% from its 200 day moving average, it is looking for a significant short-term decline. A lot of the volume has been on the down side in the group since they peaked a couple of weeks ago. Very high risk right now. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| WATCH | Oilexco Inc | OIL-X | 16.520 | Potentially has a huge upside and could be $50-$60 a share. Production is expected to be 4X the current level. Has already made a big move and has been consolidating since last fall. He would like to see it move higher with significant volume, which would be your entry point. Stepping in now, there is a risk it is still consolidating and could drop back to $13-$14. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| BUY | Petro-Canada | PCA-T | 54.430 | It just triggered a Buy yesterday as it is just clearing that range it has been trading in since it peaked last July. There is a lot of volume coming in and the price gain was good. Another oil/gas stock that is starting to move. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| HOLD | Hillsborough Resources Limited | HLB-T | 1.010 | This is a winner from the coal group. One of the few junior stocks that is seeing any upside. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| SELL | Starbucks | SBUX-Q | 15.950 | Suffered a giant decline from $40. You would think the decline was over, but he sees some things on the fundamental side that concerns him. He would be a seller despite the large decline. Concerned there will be more downside. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Delta Air Lines Inc | DAL-N | 0.620 | High cost of jet fuel has a significant impact on airlines. Airline industry in the US is undergoing consolidation right now because it is in big trouble. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| BUY | Bombardier Inc (B) | BBD.B-T | 6.530 | A very attractive looking stock here. Has been in a pretty good uptrend for over a year and is now clearing its range it has been in coming out of the bear market. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| HOLD | NAL Oil & Gas Trust | NAE.UN-T | 15.110 | Has run from about $12-$13 to $15 which is pretty good percentage for an income trust. There may be a short-term pullback. Stick with your winners, especially in the income trust side. 13% yield. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| SELL | Nortel | NT-T | 8.330 | Strong earnings growth is projected for this company but the stock is not responding. Cannot see at recovering. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Agnico-Eagle Mines | AEM-T | 62.750 | One of the better gold stocks. The gold sector does not look very good to him at all. Gold peaked almost 2 months ago. There is a huge amount of volume coming out of this and some of the other big gold performers and gold itself does not look very good. He is looking for a significant correction in gold stocks. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| SELL | Kaboose Inc. | KAB-T | 0.950 | Was a big winner a couple of years ago but has been selling off badly and has just had another lower low. That's a sign that it is time to get out. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| SELL | Garmin Limited | GRMN-Q | 42.890 | (Market Call Minute.) Stock has suffered a big decline. Its market share is being threatened. Failed to undertake an acquisition last year that Nokia made. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| HOLD | RioCan Real Estate Investment | REI.UN-T | 21.650 | (Market Call Minute.) Really likes the REIT sector. A better alternative to bottom fishing in the banks. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| HOLD | Lundin Mining Corp. | LUN-T | 7.290 | (Market Call Minute.) Not a Buy. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| HOLD | Birchcliff Energy Ltd. | BIR-T | 10.850 | (Market Call Minute.) Had a pretty good run. Doesn't know that he would Buy here, but it is definitely a winner. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| BUY | General Electric | GE-N | 32.570 | (Market Call Minute.) Investors could do well by buying in here and being patient. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| HOLD | Toronto Dominion | TD-T | 66.800 | (Market Call Minute.) Probably the best looking Canadian bank and if you were going to buy one this would be it. | 2008-05-07 | ||
| BUY | General Electric | GE-N | 32.050 | Not particularly a high-growth company. It has had pretty good numbers. Stats indicate that whenever this company has a particularly large down day there have been positive returns on a 3, 6, 9 and a 12 month basis. | 2008-04-11 | ||
| Comment | Timminco Ltd. | TIM-T | 26.330 | Solar power play. Doesn't know what the upside is. A choppy trader. Very speculative right here. May represent too much risk. | 2008-04-11 | ||
| BUY | Uranium One Inc. | UUU-T | 4.100 | Like most uranium stocks, it has suffered a gigantic downturn. He thinks uranium stocks are due for a rebound. Doesn't know when it will come but thinks it is getting very close. Even if it is just a short-term bounce, it could be very large when it takes off. | 2008-04-11 | ||

| BUY | Visa Inc. | V-N | 33.370 | The stock hasn't been out very long, but it's trading well. It's a big company and a growing company. MasterCard was up about 5X since its IPO. If you look out a couple of years from now, what mutual fund is not going to own a piece of this. Large company, so a safer and better place to be in this market. | 2008-04-11 |
