Stock Opinions by James Telfser

COMMENT

Believes economy is at the end of rising interest rates. Likely that within the next 12 months - US Fed will drop rates. Investors have been lulled into false sense of security. Preparing clients for when markets soften. Canadian Telco & Utility sectors have become under valued, and are presenting opportunity for investors. Structured Notes with higher yields offering investors big opportunities. Has been limiting exposure on service related companies (airlines, hotels, cruises).
