Technical Analysis Stock Picks on Avigilon (TSX: AVO) and Innergex Renewable Energy (TSX: INE)
My main focus is tracing abnormal volatility which flags the potential of momentum coming into an underlying name or sector. As a momentum trader, I rarely look at major indexes, but at small-cap names with high institutional or insider ownership. This is because small cap names offer many advantages to traders. One being that they tend to move with a greater velocity than large-cap names. This is due to supply and demand...

5 from 5i: Increasing Risk When Expected Returns Have Never Been Lower
The big news this week comes out of the US, as President Donald Trump said yesterday that his “fire and fury” comments may not have been tough enough, and refused to rule out a preemptive strike against North Korea. The VIX, a measure of market volatility, has surged in price. Behind the scenes there have been a mix of earnings reports this week. Insurers Manulife Financial (MFC) and Sun Life Financial (SLF) reported second-quarter earnings that beat market expectations, benefiting in part from strong growth in Asia. CI Financial (CIX) has reached an agreement to acquire Sentry Investment for $780M in cash and stock, combining two of Canada’s largest independent active asset managers. Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX) reported a better-than- expected quarterly profit and said it expected to repay more than $5B in debt earlier than it had targeted. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. announced it has selected Great Canadian Gaming (GC) and Brookfield Business Partners (BBU.UN) to run its casinos in the Greater Toronto Area. Here are five stories we found interesting this week:
- Signs of booms and bubbles, and evaluating current markets for these indicators (a longer read)
- Money-weighted return: how an active manager can profit when everyone buys the same index
- A road map for transitioning to an ETF portfolio
- Investment lessons from a quant-icon
- Investors try to avoid pain by making these poor behavioural decisions.

Canadian Midstream Oil and Gas Stocks - Investing Insights and Industry Analysis
As many readers know, the Bank of Canada raised its 0.5% benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point on July 12. Markets are pricing in another quarter point hike by the end of the year.
Higher interest rates are often viewed as a positive for sectors like financials and materials but seen as a negative for utility stocks. With that, we will center this iteration of the 5i “Industry-At-A-Glance” blog to discuss the midstream oil and gas industry, which we consider more like a utility stock as opposed to an energy sector stock.
The article will highlight which companies are likely to outperform peers due to their ability to defend share price via dividend growth.
