    Volume 13 Highlights

    The technical evidence is mounting for a short-term pullback in the

    S&P/TSX Composite Index (S&P/TSX). However, any pullback is

    likely to be shallow, and given that the primary trend for the

    S&P/TSX remains bullish, we would look to add to positions and

    increase exposure on any short-term weakness.

    The S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index has experienced an important

    technical breakout, and as such, we are growing more constructive

    on the sector.

    If the S&P 500 Index (S&P 500) breaks and remains above 1,850which is our expectation, then the pullback seen in January wouldbe over and we would expect further upside. From a seasonaperspective, March and April are historically strong months for theU.S. equity market, which increase the odds that the S&P 500 wilbreak and hold above the key 1,850 level. With the S&P 500 in along-term uptrend, we remain bullish on U.S. equities and continueto recommend a buy on the dips strategy.

    The technical profile of the S&P 500 Telecommunications ServicesIndex remains bearish and we continue to recommend investorsunderweight this sector in their portfolios.

    In this weeks report, we highlight Analog Devices Inc. (ADI-N)andDavis + Henderson Corp. (DH-T) as attractive buy candidatesand recommend investors trim/sell Canadian Utilities Ltd. (CU-TandGenworth MI Canada Inc. (MIC-T).

    Chart of the Week The current path of the Dow Jones Industria

    Average is tracking the path made in 1928-29. Does this portend an

    imminent collapse in the stock market? We dont believe so.

    Technical Commentary

    S&P/TSX Composite Index

    Our focus is and always should be on the longer-term or primary trends in the markets. However, we do, with

    varying success, attempt to forecast the short-term gyrations of the markets. For example, in recent reports weve

    discussed the potential for the S&P/TSX to correct in an ABC pattern, with the belief that we could see another

    short-term leg lower (wave C). So far, this has not played out, but the technical evidence is mounting for a pullback

    in the coming week or two; however, any pullback is likely to be shallow.

    First, we note that following the 750 point gain in the S&P/TSX since the February low, the S&P/TSX is once againtrading at its upper channel line, which could provide some short-term resistance. Second, as a result of recent

    gains, the S&P/TSX is technically overbought, based on a number of technical indicators. In particular, the Relative

    Strength Index (RSI) reading is currently at 69.66 (over 70 indicates overbought), and the percentage of stocks in

    the S&P/TSX above their respective 50-day moving averages (MA) is currently at 73, which is above the typical 70

    overbought level (lower panel). Finally, we note that the MACD indicator is elevated and approaching levels where it

    has peaked in recent months. Putting it all together, we believe the S&P/TSX could pullback in the short term

    Levels we are monitoring on the downside include: 1) 14,000 (previous resistance, now support); 2) the 50-day MA

    at 13,726; and 3) the lower channel line, which intersects at 13,650. We expect the S&P/TSX to hold above these

    levels on any short-term weakness.

    But as mentioned at the outset, the primary trend for the S&P/TSX remains constructive, and we would look to add

    to positions and increase exposure on any short-term weakness.

    Ranking of Weekly Momentum

    Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. February 25, 2014.

    Weekly Momentum:

    The health care sector continues to power higher on the back of Valeant Pharmaceutical International (VRX-T)

    The sector has been near the top spot in our sector rankings, in four of the last six weeks.

    Similarly, the materials sector remains strong, with the sector at the top of our sector rankings in four of the last six

    weeks.

    Conversely, the consumer discretionary sector continues to underperform, with the sector near the bottom of our

    sector rankings over the last six weeks. Weve been highlighting this weakness in recent reports, and we currently

    remain cautious on that sector.

    Market Condition:

    All sectors are neutrally ranked (RSIs below 70), but many sectors (health care, consumer staples, and energy) are

    approaching an overbought condition, with RSIs in the high 60s.

    Other:

    All 10 GIC sectors are trading above their respective 50- and 200-day MAs. This is a very bullish sign, and one

    factor why we remain constructive on the Canadian equity market.

    S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index

    The S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index has experienced an important technical breakout, and as such, we are

    growing more bullish on the sector.

    The sector has been range-bound and contained by price resistance around the 270/275 level for over two years

    However, in February, the sector broke above this resistance level, which we believe augers for additional upside.

    One negative we see for the sector is its continued relative downtrend (lower panel). The sector is rallying in price

    but is not yet outperforming the broader market. We would like to see that trend reverse, with the sector beginning

    to outperform the S&P/TSX.

    Given the important break above resistance, and with the sector trading above its 50- and 200-day MAs, we have

    become more constructive on the energy sector. Stocks we like technically include: Enerplus Corp. (ERF-T)

    Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (CNQ-T),and Tourmaline Oil Corp. (TOU-T).

    S&P 500 Index

    The S&P 500 has recovered all of its losses from January, and is now trading at resistance of 1,850. Since

    November 2013, the S&P 500 has traded range-bound between roughly 1,750 and 1,850, and has made littleheadway.

    If the S&P 500 breaks and remains above 1,850, which is our expectation, then the pullback seen in January wouldbe over and we would expect the S&P 500 to hit new highs. Until then, the S&P 500 will continue to trade in thistight range.

    From a seasonal perspective, March and April are historically strong months for the U.S. equity market, whichincrease the odds that the S&P 500 will break above the key 1,850 level. If this does occur, we would like to seeconfirmation from the small caps, with them breaking out relative to large caps (lower panel) as this would reflect acontinued healthy risk appetite.

    Overall, the S&P 500 is currently in a holding pattern, but we do believe it will ultimately break above the important1,850 resistance level and make new highs in the coming months. With the S&P 500 in a long-term uptrend, weremain bullish on U.S. equities and continue to recommend a buy on the dips strategy.

    Ranking of Weekly Momentum

    Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. As of February 25, 2014.

    Weekly Momentum:

    The health care sector continues to outperform the broader market, with the sector near the top of our secto

    rankings over the last six weeks.

    Cyclical sectors lagged last week, with the industrials, information technology, and financials sectors at the bottom

    of our sector rankings.

    Financials continue to underperform, with the sector near the bottom of our sector rankings in four of the last six

    weeks.

    Market Condition:

    All sectors are neutrally ranked, with RSI levels between 30 and 70.

    Other:

    The telecom sector is trading below its 50- and 200-day MAs, which is one factor in our call to underweight the

    sector in portfolios.

    1928-29 Redux?

    The accompanying chart is getting a lot ofattention in the financial media, but webelieve the conclusions being drawn areunlikely to be realized.

    The chart overlays the 1928-29 path of theDow Jones Industrial Average (Dow) with thecurrent path, and it shows a tight correlationbetween the two times series.

    While at first blush the chart is alarming, webelieve theres more than meets the eye tothis chart, and that the correlation betweenthe two series will ultimately break down.

    Aside from the fundamental differencesbetween then and now, our main issue withthis chart is the different scale for the twoperiods.

    Clearly, with the Dow trading around 16,000

    today, this is entirely different compared tothe Dow when it was trading around 300prior to the 1928-29 collapse.

    If we rebase the two series to 100, and putthem in an equivalent percentage format, wesee a completely different picture.

    While the gains since July 2012 have beenimpressive, they pale in comparison to therun up in the 1928-29 period. For examplethe Dow is up roughly 25% since July 2012whereas the Dow gained nearly 100% overthe similar number of trading days for thisanalog.

    We believe the true picture is captured whenthe data is scaled appropriately, andtherefore, we do not believe that the stockmarket is setting up for an imminencollapse.

    Intermarket Picture

    U.S. Dollar IndexThe U.S. Dollar Index continues to trade in a tight range of roughly 80 and 81.50. We believe the U.S

    Dollar Index will break above resistance of 81.50, and move up to its next resistance zone of 82.5 to 83.5 in the coming

    months.

    U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is sitting on an important technical level, with it resting

    right above its 200-day MA. A break below this important MA would be bearish for bond yields (bullish for bond prices),

    with the 10-year yield then likely to decline to support at 2.45%. We expect the 10-year yield to remain range-bound in the

    coming months, but see yields grinding higher in the second half of the year.

    GoldGold continues to trend higher, following an upside break of its intermediate downtrend. Gold has rallied above its

    important 200-day MA, and is quickly approaching horizontal price resistance of US$1,360/oz. For now, our call is that

    gold remains range-bound between US$1,360/oz. and US$1,180/oz. A break above US$1,360/oz. would be bullish, and

    would likely trigger us to get more constructive on the metal.

    West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil WTI oil broke above resistance of $98/bl to $100/bl, and is showing strong

    momentum. Seasonal trends will support the oil price as we near the U.S. summer driving season. We believe WTI oil wil

    continue to trade range-bound between a narrow range of US$90/bl and mid US$100s/bl.

    Technical Trading Ideas

    Canadian Utilities Ltd. (CU-T)Published February 19, 2014

    Canadian Utilities Ltd. is up 10% year-to-date, however we see limited upside from current levels and would trim/selpositions.

    Following the recent run-up in the share price, CU is trading at technical resistance around $39. We believe thisresistance level could contain further upside.

    We note that the stock is technically overbought with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of 75.11. Finally, the stock recently put in a bearish candlestick pattern called a shooting star, which could be foreshadowing

    a potential short-term top in the stock price.

    With CU technically overbought and trading at resistance, we believe the stock could peak soon and head lower. Weare targeting a pullback to $36 to $36.50.

    Analog Devices Inc. (ADI-N)Published February 21, 2014

    We are highlighting the breakout of Analog Devices Inc. from our breakout/breakdown model*.

    ADI is trading in a long-term uptrend, and is above its rising 50- and 200-day MAs. On recent pullbacks, the stockhas bounced off its 200-day MA, which is a sign of technical strength.

    The stock recently broke out to a new high on heavy volume. ADIs volume trends remain bullish with its On BalanceVolume indicator trending higher and also making a new high (lower panel).

    With the recent strength the stock is nearing an overbought technical condition with its Relative Strength Index a63.66 and at levels where it has pulled back over the last few months (red arrows). As such, it could pull back in theshort-term but we would buy into the potential weakness, as we see the stock continuing its uptrend. We wouldemploy a stop loss of $47, which is just below its 200-day MA.

    NOTE*: Our technical breakout/breakdown model is based on a weekly screen of the S&P 500 and S&P/TSX Composite for

    stocks making a new high/low over the last 90 days on volume greater than +1 standard deviation from the 90-day average

    volume.

    Genworth MI Canada Inc. (MIC-T)Published February 26, 2014

    Shareholders of Genworth MI Canada Inc. should be on alert, as the technical profile has weakened of late and we

    see the potential for additional weakness. While MIC remains in a long-term uptrend, we are seeing early signs that the uptrend could come under pressure

    Our first concern is the recent break below its 50-day MA. The 50-day MA had provided support over the last yearand half; however, this changed in early February when the stock broke through the 50-day MA and it becameresistance (red arrow). Our second concern is the recent breakdown of its relative uptrend, which had been in placesince August 2013. Weakening relative trends can often be an early warning sign of a change in a stocks absoluteprice trend.

    Given MICs weakening technical profile we would monitor the stock closely. If it breaks below $32, we would exit thepositions and move to the sidelines.

    Davis + Henderson Corp. (DH-T)Published February 28, 2014

    We are highlighting the technical breakout of Davis + Henderson Corp. from our breakout/breakdown model*.

    DH is trading in a long-term uptrend and above its rising 50- and 200-day MAs. Recently the stock broke aboveshort-term resistance and made a new price high. The breakout was confirmed with heavy trading volume. Finally, itsrelative strength trend remains very bullish, as the stock continues to outperform the broader market (lower panel).

    The stock is technically overbought on a short-term basis with a Relative Strength Index reading of 71.99, whichcould result in some profit taking in the near term. However, we would be a buyer of the stock in light of its strongprice and relative uptrends.

    NOTE*: Our technical breakout/breakdown model is based on a weekly screen of the S&P 500 and S&P/TSX Composite for

    stocks making a new high/low over the last 90 days on volume greater than +1 standard deviation from the 90-day average
