As megatech earnings marched on, the latest U.S. GDP number came in weaker than expected while inflation was higher.

Other major movers were Newmont popping 12.46%, Bristol Myers at -8.51%, IBM -8.25% and Caterpillar -7.02%. After the bell, Alphabet and Microsoft reported and both rallied sharply. Bitcoin added 0.5% to US$64,560.
In contrast, the TSX was flat, adding 16 points, though most sectors declined. Materials and energy performed the best, while tech and real estate fell the most. Notable names: Teck Resources 8.71%, Bank of Nova Scotia -1.51%, Mullen Group -9.08%, Bombardier 8.32% and StorageVault -6.11%. WTI added $1 to US$83.80 while gold edged up to US $2,333.

UnlockRatingOverall, view on pipelines fairly bullish. Shipping energy off is to capture a higher price, a good idea. Does have favourites in the space, the order shifts over time based on fundamentals. He doesn't get attached. The business looks very positive going forward.
Favourite right now is TRP, as it's the most contrarian of TRP, ENB, and PPL. PPL is great, but trades at a higher multiple. ENB has considerably more debt, a concern especially with higher interest rates.

UnlockRatingLooking at the cycle forecast of the indices over 7 years, Williams correctly predicted the Nasdaq peaking around March 15 followed by extended weakness (true), and a bottom around October 22. He calls the current decline to continue till around May 20. He also called the S&P peak around March 7 (he was slightly early). Another indicator if the Dow vs. bond prices, which indicates that the Dow will fall further.

UnlockRatingHis buy points are constantly changing, much like the price targets. Sometimes he buys into strength, but it doesn't often happen.
For example, look at NVDA. He took profits, as it was bumping up against the price target. But after it reported, he realized that the price target was much lower and bought into that strength.
