| TOP PICK | | Connacher Oil and Gas | CLL-T | 4.480 | Had a nice ride in 2005 and the stock needed a pause. The pause lasted 2.5 years and now the stock has broken out again. Buy half your position now and if it pulls back round out the balance. | 2008-06-19 | |
| TOP PICK | | Methanex Corp | MX-T | 31.560 | One of the strongest and highest potential stocks on the market now. Coming out of a huge base from 1995 to 2003. | 2008-06-19 | |
| TOP PICK | | WebTech Wireless Inc. | WEW-T | 3.850 | A little speculative. In the right price range. In a trading range and has just broken out. Treat it as a trade. | 2008-06-19 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | Barrick Gold Corp | ABX-N | 40.070 | (A Top Pick Sept 27/07. Up 8%.) Now back to its wonderful trading range and is a Buying opportunity. Will take 1 to 1.5 months for the gold stocks to get going. | 2008-06-19 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | Viterra Inc | VT-T | 14.500 | (A Top Pick Sept 27/07. Up 27%.) @00day moving average is nicely rising. Stock is coming out of a huge base. Still a Buy. | 2008-06-19 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | McAfee Inc. | MFE-N | 37.640 | (A Top Pick Sept 27/07. Up 6%.) Has gone through an accumulation stage and is probably ready to go. Short term MACD is positive. The problem will be the overhead resistance. If it goes past $38, it would be a Buy. | 2008-06-19 | |
| BUY | | Suncor Energy Inc | SU-T | 62.330 | Going through a correction. 200-day moving average is at $55, which is very good support. | 2008-06-19 | |
| BUY | | Arc Energy Trust Units | AET.UN-T | 31.560 | 10% distribution. Quite a bit above its 200-day moving average. | 2008-06-19 | |
| BUY | | Yamana Gold Inc. | YRI-T | 14.720 | Not very representative of golds because it went through a number of controversial venting (?) so it never had the run like others. Recently sold off, maybe more than what it should have. Has found support at the 200 day moving average of around $14.40. Now turning around and starting to go. MACD is neutral. | 2008-06-19 | |
| Comment | | Falcon Oil & Gas | FO-X | 1.120 | Speculation drove it up to $7 in 2006 and it then sold off. It is quite positive now that it has finished building a base and has broken above the down trend line. | 2008-06-19 | |
| BUY | | Bombardier Inc (B) | BBD.B-T | 7.470 | Formed a secondary base formation and is now in an uptrend. Above its 200 day moving average. Currently going through a bit of a pullback, which is a buying opportunity. Your stoploss should be around $6.60. | 2008-06-19 | |
| BUY | | SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. | SNC-T | 57.910 | A typical stock where you sit back, relax and don't worry about it. In a major uptrend. One of two major construction companies (AECON ARE-T) in Canada. Above its 200 and 50 day moving averages. | 2008-06-19 | |
| BUY | | Aecon Group Inc | ARE-T | 16.750 | One of two major construction companies (SNC Lavalin SNC-T) in Canada. | 2008-06-19 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Nova Chemicals Corp. | NCX-T | 26.160 | 200 day moving average is currently falling. Broke below it in October of 2007. Not yet ready. | 2008-06-19 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Gildan Activewear Inc. | GIL-T | 27.060 | His initial reaction is to stay away. Stock has had a very, very long ride, but started to reverse at the beginning of this year. Broke through a major support at $32. Now in a major negative trend. | 2008-06-19 | |
| BUY | | CAE Inc | CAE-T | 12.140 | Had a nice base building December to May. Went above the 200-day moving average. Has now pulled back to the 200-day moving average, which is a very positive development. Good place to take a risk. Support is probably at about $11.50 or $12. | 2008-06-19 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Breakwater Resources | BWR-T | 0.395 | Made a double top last year, which was very negative. Below its 200-day moving average. Stock is very oversold, so it may rally to about $1.25. | 2008-06-19 | |
| Comment | | Franco-Nevada Corp. | FNV-T | 22.040 | Stock is in a positive zone. Recent high was around $23 and is now trying to break through that. | 2008-06-19 | |
| BUY | | Oilexco Inc | OIL-T | 18.020 | Broke out through a very important level of around $16.70 and took out its recent high. Has a rising 200-day moving average. | 2008-06-19 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | | Emera Inc | EMA-T | 23.300 | Has a beautiful W formation, which is very important. Stock may be a little ahead of itself and wouldn't hurt if it came back to around $22 or $22.50. | 2008-06-19 | |
| PARTIAL SELL | | Eastmain Resources Inc | ER-T | 1.270 | You have to be careful when you see the kind of rally it is in from $.75 to $1.30. Some profit taking could set in. Stock will probably go higher, but you could sell a bit of your position to lock in some of your profit. | 2008-04-08 | |
| Comment | | Kinross Gold | K-T | 23.340 | At this stage of the cycle, golds are definitely in favour. You should be aware that the 200 day moving average is starting to turn. A little more of a correction wouldn't be a surprise. | 2008-04-08 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Breakwater Resources | BWR-T | 1.070 | It does not have the kind of a base he would like to see. Had a double top last year, which usually indicates some kind of negative news that hit the company. The moving average is around $2.25 so a little bit of a rally could happen. | 2008-04-08 | |
| DON'T BUY | | CAE Inc | CAE-T | 12.630 | Had a wonderful rise last summer and since then, it has had a bit of a rolling top with lower highs and lower lows. The chart would have to flatten out and start making a base before it gets to a point where it would be a favourite again. | 2008-04-08 | |
| WATCH | | Canadian National R.R. | CNR-T | 51.550 | Both Canadian National (CNR-T) and Canadian Pacific (CP-T) are the kind of stocks that start off together with the bull market. Sometimes the picture does not look so exciting but they are both usually the leaders in a bull market. Once a gets past $53, this is a signal that there could be an up leg. | 2008-04-08 | |
| BUY | | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 122.580 | This stock is still very much undervalued. His technical target range is about $150-$175. Stock had a big move, then relaxed and has gone through a rolling base. When it goes through $125 all the sellers will be coming back. | 2008-04-08 | |
| BUY | | Talisman Energy | TLM-T | 19.550 | Starting to behave a little better. Has been meandering for quite awhile but it is now possible for it to have a breakout. A little trouble around $21 or $22 as there is some overhead resistance. Because it is in the energy area, it should do well. | 2008-04-08 | |
| PARTIAL SELL | | Grande Cache Coal Corp. | GCE-T | 5.530 | Had a great huge breakout when it exceeded the $1.75 area. Chart shows a fantastic move. If you have it, you probably want to take a little bit of profit. The area in March/April is indicating some over bought conditions. | 2008-04-08 | |
| WAIT | | Eldorado Gold | ELD-T | 7.420 | Stock has not been able to go through the $7.40-$7.50 area. If you don't own it, wait for the breakout and then jump on it. | 2008-04-08 | |
| BUY | | Yamana Gold Inc. | YRI-T | 14.360 | This is one of the funny, funny golds because during that time when all the gold stocks were doing well, it had a pullback. It finally managed to do a double bottom last fall and started to move up but at this stage, it still needs to have a little bit of pullback. Very close to the point where it should have a support level. Moving average is pretty much there. You could get in, but put a stop loss in at $13. | 2008-04-08 | |
| TOP PICK | | Imperial Oil | IMO-T | 54.800 | Starting to break out. Around $55 would be a major breakout. | 2008-04-08 | |
| TOP PICK | | Viterra Inc | VT-T | 14.250 | Food is doing very well. The stock has been in a major, major uptrend. This is a long-term hold. There is a lot of space for this to go much higher. | 2008-04-08 | |
| TOP PICK | | Barrick Gold | ABX-T | 43.600 | This has been his favourite gold through the years. | 2008-04-08 | |
| WEAK BUY | | Oilexco Inc | OIL-T | 13.780 | It was a real great stock and had done very well but has slowed down a little bit. The moving average currently intersects at about $13 in the stock managed to come below it a little bit. It should have support around $12-$13. There are others he prefers more but it's fine as long as you don't see it below $12. | 2008-04-08 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Bank of Montreal | BMO-T | 46.700 | When you have a stock that has broken below the 200-day moving average and then starts to trend down and continues to be below the 200-day moving average, don't touch it. | 2008-04-08 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Bank of America | BAC-N | 38.380 | Had a big break below the 200-day moving average and continued to stay below the 200-day moving average. It does have a kind of double base happening which could mean it is starting to base build. | 2008-04-08 | |
| SELL | | Apple | AAPL-Q | 152.840 | Sold off and had quite a selloff and is now in the midst of a recovery rally and this is a good place to get out. | 2008-04-08 | |
| Comment | | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Bearish/Bullish Gaps- When a stock closes at a certain value, then opens the next day higher/lower. When gaps occur they typically fill in 3 days. Then the primary direction continues. | 2008-03-14 | |
| WATCH | | Timminco Ltd. | TIM-T | 18.500 | Possible that this stock will return to its 200 day moving average ($12.50). If it breaks $17, it will move all the way to $12.50. Set stop-loss to roughly $17. | 2008-03-14 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Toronto Dominion | TD-T | 61.290 | Seems to be weathering well. This might be the first one to go. Don’t try to start bargain hunting yet. | 2008-03-14 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Rogers Communcations (B) | RCI.B-T | 35.170 | Its trend is currently down. There is some hope. It’s not acting like a commodity. | 2008-03-14 | |
| WEAK BUY | | Canadian National R.R. | CNR-T | 48.320 | CN and CP are both basically the same. About to begin a better year than we had for the last 6 months. Big caps such as this should recover quite well. Take defensive measures. It should start moving back up. | 2008-03-14 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Loblaws | L-T | 28.000 | It’s too late to sell, but certainly not the time to buy. It will take a lot of time for this stock to do its base building (bottom out) | 2008-03-14 | |
| TOP PICK | | Encana Corp | ECA-T | 78.500 | It’s broken into new all time high territory. There is a lot of interest in this stock and buyers. Stop loses should be around $75 | 2008-03-14 | |
| TOP PICK | | Barrick Gold | ABX-T | 52.500 | Has been in a major up trend. It is a minimum $60 stock. Institutions are very happy to own this because it’s a senior stock. | 2008-03-14 | |
| TOP PICK | | Viterra Inc | VT-T | 13.510 | This stock had a big upwards gap. This stock has made a recovery high. It’s doing very well. It went through a big reorganization, new names, new people. Great stock. | 2008-03-14 | |
| Comment | | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | This is going to be a very selective year. Commodities are where your money should be. | 2008-03-14 | |
| VAGUE | | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 100.180 | No-ones know where this will go in the next 2 months. No target price. Generally speaking, RIM should go higher. It will probably take very little to break on the upside. $85-90 on the downside, 110-$120 on the upside. If it breaks $115 it’s the beginning of something, it will move to $140. | 2008-03-14 | |
| VAGUE | | Energy Metals Corp | EMC-T | 13.000 | Your stop lose should be around $14.50 | 2008-03-14 | |
| SELL | | Tesoro Petroleum Corp | TSO-N | 30.130 | The stock is not doing well. Would be a selling opportunity at $37.00 | 2008-03-14 | |
| SELL | | Tesoro Petroleum Corp | TSO-N | 27.160 | The stock is not doing well. Would be a selling opportunity at $37.00 | 2008-03-14 | |
| TOP PICK | | Eastern PlatinumLtd. | ELR-T | 2.620 | Picked this one because it is a lower-priced stock. A little bit speculative. Has come out of a huge base. $2-$2.25 would be a very important support level and you don't want to see it below this. | 2007-11-23 | |
| TOP PICK | | EMC Corp | EMC-N | 18.450 | Information technology stock. This is the one that gives the largest base. It had a big breakout and is now sitting dead on the 200 day moving average. Does not have a stoploss on this stock. Doesn't see it going below $15. | 2007-11-23 | |
| TOP PICK | | Imperial Oil | IMO-T | 51.960 | Could also have picked Suncor (SU-T), CNQ (CNQ-T) or many of the other energies. This stock just had a major breakout and these are the stocks that are going to do well in 2008. $48 should be a major support level. | 2007-11-23 | |
| Comment | | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Market: “Fear the Greed/Greet the Fear”. When a market is going up and everything seems to be too good, you should worry about the greed. Today, when everything is so negative, fear tends to end the market selloff. Would like to see more fear than there is now. In this situation, you buy like mad. Buying opportunities in energy, gold and base metals should be good in 2008. Financials are probably going to suffer. | 2007-11-23 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | Rona Inc | RON-T | 16.700 | (A Past Top Pick Feb 14/07. Down 32%.) When he saw a major breakdown at around $20, he sold his holdings. Stock has been very oversold and could have a jump to $18 - $18.50 but you would have to be brave. | 2007-11-23 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | Metallica Resources | MR-T | 5.310 | (A Past Top Pick Feb 14/07. Down 5.4%.) Got hammered with the Aug, Sept and Oct periods. Has a very long-term up trend line. A good buying opportunity. | 2007-11-23 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | Minefinders Corp | MFL-T | 11.730 | (A Past Top Pick Feb 14/07. Down 11%.) A beautiful stock. He picked it because it had a major head and shoulders. It overshot the neckline. Should have major support at around $10 and wouldn't want to see it any lower than that. | 2007-11-23 | |
| BUY | | Points International Ltd. | PTS-T | 2.600 | This stock went through a long, long base building and has just started a major up leg. It could pull back a little bit here and be a better buying opportunity at $2.25, but he feels it has a good upside potential. | 2007-11-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Sierra Wireless | SW-T | 16.050 | High-tech stock that had a big drop in 2000 to 2002. Had a nice rally in 2004 and most recently had a big move up from March to July. Now down in negative territory and has formed a channel. He would like to see it come out of the channel and form a base. Current price is about its support level. | 2007-11-23 | |
| BUY | | Rogers Communcations (B) | RCI.B-T | 43.500 | Had a bit of a correction in November. The 200-day moving average is still rising and has now broken below it a little bit. In the tail end of the ugly market correction and it is then that some stocks get and negative surprise. As 2008 is going to be a good year, this is a good buying opportunity. | 2007-11-23 | |
| WATCH | | NYSE Group | NYX-N | 82.720 | Problem is that it has a downtrend line and very little base building in September. He would love to see a selloff to about $69 to give it a double bottom. Wait for it to approach the $68-$69 level. | 2007-11-23 | |
| SELL | | Zarlink | ZL-T | 0.740 | This one is very much down at the point where you are downside is very small because it is only at $.70. You don't know what the future of this stock is. Has been in a major downtrend for such a long time (2003). There are better stocks out there. | 2007-11-23 | |
| Comment | | Teck Cominco Ltd. (B) | TCK.B-T | 37.490 | Back in 2003 it was a $5 stock and rose to $50. As the stock price went up, institutions had to sell when it became too big a portion of their portfolios. Recently corrected and has gone through a 3 leg correction. Probably getting very close to the end of it. Somewhere around $35 - $37 it may be a good buying opportunity. Would really like to see the stock get momentum very shortly. | 2007-11-23 | |
| WATCH | | Hudbay Minerals Inc. | HBM-T | 21.250 | Believes base metals should be strong in 2008. Has recently gone through quite a bit of a correction and needs to find support, which should come in around $17 - $18. | 2007-11-23 | |
| Comment | | Canadian Pacific Rail | CP-T | 60.920 | One of those things that gets hurt at the tail end of a bear period. Looking at a long-term chart, around the $60 level, there should come in some major support. | 2007-11-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Bank Stocks: There are periods of times when even the bank stocks get hurt. Sooner or later they are going to recover. Wouldn't go bargain hunting. These stocks will have to settle down, get the problem out of the way and then will probably make a base giving a buying opportunity again. | 2007-11-23 | |
| HOLD | | Royal Bank | RY-T | 50.050 | Not any different than the rest of the banks. They are in a downtrend channel right now. The 200-day moving average has started to flatten out. Somewhere about $46, $47 could start to find support, but it will take time. | 2007-11-23 | |
| BUY | | Neo Material Technoligies Inc. | NEM-T | 4.700 | Had a big base building between 2004 and 2006 and broke out at about $2.50. Since then it has done very well and has been hugging its 200-day moving average and still continues to do so. The recent selloff is just profit taking and wouldn't worry about it too much. Use a mental stoploss of around $3.80 - $4.00, | 2007-11-23 | |
| BUY | | Barrick Gold | ABX-T | 42.400 | Everyone should have this in their portfolio. Had a huge base from which a major up leg is likely to happen. | 2007-11-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Thomson Reuters Corp | TRI-T | 39.460 | He had thought the stock would hold above the $43 level, but something happened on a fundamental basis that knocked it down. The first sign something was happening when it broke below the 200-day moving average. $37 could possibly be a support level, but it's a falling knife. | 2007-11-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Tembec Inc. | TMB-T | 0.450 | $10 - $11 back in 2004 and since then it has been a sad story. He doesn't see an end to this selloff yet. | 2007-11-23 | |
| BUY | | Westport Innovations | WPT-T | 2.800 | Went through a bit of a correction that was slightly bigger than he would have expected. Came out of a big base building formation in April. Had a correction in July and is now ready to begin a new up leg. In the right kind of a fundamental area. The new floor is between $1.75 and $2.00. | 2007-11-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Quebecor World Inc. | IQW-T | 2.520 | Had a big breakdown in August followed by another big breakdown in November. At this point, if you are brave you could look for a recovery rally but, remember the saying “don't catch a falling knife”. | 2007-11-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Falcon Oil & Gas | FO-X | 0.430 | Bought the stock on a fundamentalist’s say-so and is holding on just because of stubbornness. Technically, there is no reason to own this. | 2007-11-23 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 111.660 | (Market Call Minute) Buy lower. | 2007-11-23 | |
| WAIT | | Goldcorp Inc | G-T | 33.600 | (Market Call Minute) Wait for a breakout at about $35 and is probably heading towards $60. | 2007-11-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Magellan Aerospa | MAL-T | 1.320 | (Market Call Minute) Not unlike Loblaws (L-T), Tembec (TBC-T) and Quebecor World (IQW-T). | 2007-11-23 | |
| BUY | | ADF Group | DRX-T | 6.200 | (Market Call Minute) Really likes this stock. Support is around $5. | 2007-11-23 | |
| TOP PICK | | Barrick Gold Corp | ABX-N | 39.180 | The strongest gold stock at this stage. Had a major breakout recently. Stock has been base building for almost 2 years. 200-day moving average has been following the stock and it broke through this. | 2007-09-27 | |
| TOP PICK | | Viterra Inc | VT-T | 11.630 | (Name and symbol will be Vitera (VT-T) tomorrow). Stock has been base building since 2003 and went through a lot of fundamental changes. Has gone through another major accumulation area and is on the verge of another up move. | 2007-09-27 | |
| TOP PICK | | McAfee Inc. | MFE-N | 34.620 | Internet security. Has it been in a long-term congestion area, broke out and is now doing another congestion area. It is on the verge of breaking again. Had stayed with its 200-day moving average even though the market had dropped off. | 2007-09-27 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | Kroger Co. | KR-N | 28.580 | (A Top Pick July 5/06. Up 29.2%.) Has been doing well because it is in consumer staples, a defensive area. The 200-day moving average is still rising. Still a Buy. | 2007-09-27 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | Northern Orion Resources | NNO-T | 6.210 | (A Top Pick July 5/06. Up 13.4%.) In the process of a 3 way merger with Yamana (YRI-T) and Meridian (MNG-T). | 2007-09-27 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | | Minefinders Corp | MFL-T | 10.450 | (A Top Pick July 5/06. Up 10%.) The recent correction is a good buying opportunity, because the stock came back to the major support level. May test the $9.50 area. Stock should be significantly higher 6 months from now. | 2007-09-27 | |
| BUY | | Orvana Minerals | ORV-T | 0.920 | Made a major base recently and is starting to break above the 200-day moving average. Stock should be significantly higher 6 months from now. | 2007-09-27 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Royal Bank | RY-T | 55.260 | Had been subject to some top forming and problem areas. Had a strong up leg and then went into a head and shoulders formation. Price has fallen below the moving averages, which indicates some problems ahead. | 2007-09-27 | |
| DON'T BUY | | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Banks - Have been subject to some top forming and some problem areas. Had a strong up leg and then went into a head and shoulders formation and the prices have fallen below the moving averages. This will indicate some problems ahead. | 2007-09-27 | |
| Comment | | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Gold - In a major uptrend, but gold stocks are going to take a pause, with one exception. (See his Top Picks.) They may have to do some meandering around their current trading ranges. In the long term, he believes gold is heading towards $1000. | 2007-09-27 | |
| BUY | | Kinross Gold | K-T | 14.990 | May have to do some meandering around the current trading range. This will give you a buying opportunity. | 2007-09-27 | |
| DON'T BUY | | Nortel | NT-T | 16.660 | Probably not only a $10 stock, but probably a $5 stock. | 2007-09-27 | |
| WATCH | | Jinshan Gold Mines Inc. | JIN-T | 2.230 | From 2003 two 2005, the stock dropped from $5 to about $.50 and since then has made a major base building. Broke out in February and is now in a secondary accumulation. Look for a breakout from this secondary accumulation (About $2.20 - $2.30.), which is probably the next major up leg for it. | 2007-09-27 | |
| BUY | | Breakwater Resources | BWR-T | 3.200 | Like this stock because it went through a long major base building. When it broke out, it had a long upward move and is currently above the 200-day moving average. Got a little ahead of itself in June and pulled back, but the correction came back to its 200-day moving average. Looks like it is starting a new major up leg. | 2007-09-27 | |
| PARTIAL BUY | | Husky Energy | HSE-T | 41.370 | Energy stocks are the best group currently. If you like the stock, take a half position and then if it falls back, it won't matter. By the other half on weakness or if it starts moving up. | 2007-09-27 | |
| WAIT | | Falcon Oil & Gas | FO-X | 0.580 | Has dropped back and now he needs a longer term of base building. | 2007-09-27 | |
| SELL | | Brookfield Asset Management (A) | BAM.A-T | 38.780 | A great selling opportunity. Stock has risen over a very long period, above its 200 day moving average. It has now broken below this and will now probably go back and test the 200-day moving average. | 2007-09-27 | |
| HOLD | | iUnits Gold S&P/TSX E.T.F. | XGD-T | 75.150 | The majority of golds are going through a correction. There was a very good rally from 2005 into 2006, broke the 200-day moving average and is now meandering. Needs a little bit more time to make some more congestion area. Expect they will start to break out eventually. | 2007-09-27 | |
| Comment | | Research In Motion | RIM-T | 99.900 | Came out of a major congestion area in 2006, so the pop up was significant. Stock is doing very well and is above its 200-day moving average. The only caution is that the 200-day moving average is at $65 while the stock is $100 and if anything ever comes out that is not good, it will drop very quickly. Have a very tight Stop on the stock. | 2007-09-27 | |
| BUY | | Manitoba Telecom Services | MBT-T | 48.530 | Has done an inverse head and shoulders and what you want is a major break above $50-$51. If you own the stock, have your Stop at $46. Stock should break into new high levels fairly shortly. | 2007-09-27 | |
| BUY | | Petro-Can | PCA-T | 57.200 | Above its 200-day moving average. There was a bit of a rally recently and there could be a pullback. Take some positions anyway and if the stock comes back to $54, then get some more. The stock is on the verge of a breakout. | 2007-09-27 | |
