Scouring the markets for value since 1996
I sell Essential Energy Services and double down on Linamar and Foot Locker. I claim to rarely be mistaken even though I am frequently wrong. I wonder whether overweighting cash is really a defensive move in this environment and I use my new stock screening spreadsheet to showcase the process I use to find new investments.
In an effort to clean house and focus in on my highest conviction ideas, I sell Melcor Developments and Casa Systems. I explore the state of the markets, discuss the findings from my latest quarterly review and map out my strategy going forward.
I take advantage of a widening valuation disparity to switch horses, selling my Genesco at a tidy profit and moving that money into Foot Locker.
Lessons learned from a year of crisis and an optimistic look at the road ahead.
A stunning stock market recovery caps a surreal year in the markets and offers me a golden opportunity to take a little risk off the table.
I cast a critical eye on my recent performance and uncover some interesting stats from a pile of old brokerage statements.
Looking across the valley to the other side of this crisis, I plan for an eventual recovery and add 5 new stocks to the portfolio: Teck Resources, Magellan Aerospace, Foot Locker, Adcore Inc and PHX Energy Services.
With the markets and the economy in disarray, the average p:e ratio of my portfolio has fallen to a level I haven’t seen since 2008.
With a very aggressively positioned portfolio, I am charging full steam ahead into the new decade.
As signs of an impending recession accumulate and trade war tariffs loom, the resultant investor gloom is throwing up some very interesting investment opportunities.
After careful consideration, I bought back into Essential Energy Services after abandoning it only a few months earlier. The valuation was simply too low to ignore.
I have lost faith in a meaningful recovery in the western Canadian oil and gas sector. I have sold my Macro Enterprises and Essential Energy Services and with the money from these sales, have placed my bets on the current market rally losing steam by the end of the year.
In the final 2 months of the year I sold Atlas Engineered Products, pared back on my Essential Energy Services and Geodrill holdings and added Gluskin Sheff to the mix. 2018 was a year full of surprises. I take a look back at the tumultuous year just ended and look ahead at what might be in store for investors in 2019.
A couple of sells, some market commentary and a look at the portfolio from a defensive standpoint.
Viemed, Questor and Magna were the bright spots in what was a fairly uneventful start to the year. With the market undecided as to which direction it wants to go, I maintain my hedge but use up most of my remaining cash to add 4 new holdings to the portfolio.
