I was on @BNNBloomberg yesterday - the signal markets are missing:
- Oil hit $120 when the war broke out. It's below $100 today. Market pricing in eventual resolution
- Copper/gold ratio expanding like 2020, 2017, 2013 - all strong market periods.

I was on BNN today talking about stocks on my radar:
- $CRDO Copper cables with chips embedded to boost signals between GPUs
- $TSAT.TO High risk, high reward. Low-earth orbit backlog at $1.1B
- $ZDC.V AI-powered mobile security towers

Thanks @BNNBloomberg for having me. As was mentioned:
- Markets were climbing a 'wall of worry'
- Markets tend to bottom on the rate of change
- "Comfort is the enemy of returns" - most money is made by going outside the herd

An update on the $ARKK / $XLP chart.
Both RSI and the ARKK/XLP ratio are moving higher, signaling a shift to a 'risk-on' market.
At the red dots is where peak 'risk-on' lies
The market isn’t just down. It’s rotating on fear.
High-beta stocks gets hit. Defensives hold. Each bottom lines up with rate peaks, recession calls, FX shocks, AI scares.
History repeats. Market rhythm matters. ⚡📉

New Exponent episode is out
The semiconductors segment at the end is underrated. The structural demand case for semi chips goes well beyond AI hype - and that's exactly why it holds up

Not all oil stocks are the same trade.
Oil is near $100 - but producers, pipelines, services, and royalties don't move together
New Exponent ep with @5iChris and Michael: sector rotation, $CPH, and semis beyond AI.

I was on BNN Market Call yesterday.
Three picks: $X $CSU $SHOP
On Shopify: "I don't need an analyst to tell me when a 10X earnings stock is cheap. I need one to tell me when a 70X earnings stock is cheap."
$SHOP is down 35%. I think this is that moment

5/ Investors sitting in cash waiting for certainty tend to miss the first 10-15% of every recovery.
The best entry points rarely feel safe.
Was on @BNNBloomberg Market Call today talking Canadian equities. Link to my market outlook below

4/ That's the key mental model: markets price the rate of change, not the absolute level.
Things don't need to be great. They just need to stop deteriorating.
