    Volume 9 Highlights

    Following the significant technical breakout of the S&P/TSX

    Composite Index (S&P/TSX), the S&P/TSX has been backing and

    filling as it works off its overbought technical condition. With the

    S&P/TSX currently at 13,334, we see the potential for a modest

    pullback to between 13,166 and 13,020, where 13,166 equates to a

    38.2% retracement of its recent move and 13,020 being the 50-dayMA. Overall, we expect a near-term consolidation/pullback, but given

    the technical breakout above key resistance of 12,900, we believe

    the outlook for the S&P/TSX has greatly improved.

    The Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index remains in a clear long-term

    downtrend and is trading below its declining 50- and 200-day MAs

    The index recently sold-off and broke below short-term support o

    275.54. We believe a central factor in the weakness was due to a

    recent surge in the U.S. Dollar Index, which rallied last week on the

    strong October U.S. nonfarm payrolls number. The CRB Index is

    now oversold and as such, could lead to a short-term oversold

    bounce in commodity prices. However, with the trend clearly down

    we expect the CRB Index to retest the June 2012 lows of 267.

    Despite increased chatter from some pundits that the market lookstoppy, the short-, intermediate- and long-term trends for the S&P500 Index (S&P 500) are upward and very bullish, in our opinion.

    We are bullish on the U.S. financials sector, particularly on the U.S.life insurance industry. Given the strong price and relative trends wewould recommend increasing exposure to U.S. lifecos on weakness.

    In this weeks report, we highlight Valeant PharmaceuticalsInternational Inc. (VRX-T), Kohls Corp (KSS-N) and Regions

    Financial Corp. (RF-N)as attractive technical buy candidates.

    Technical Commentary

    S&P/TSX Composite Index

    Following the significant technical breakout of the S&P/TSX Composite Index (S&P/TSX) above the key 12,900

    level, the S&P/TSX has been backing and filling as it works off its overbought technical condition.

    Momentum has begun to weaken, illustrated by the MACD beginning to rollover (red circle). With the S&P/TSX stil

    technically overbought, currently 5.3% above its 200-day moving average (MA), the highest level since March 2013

    and momentum rolling over, we see the potential for some near-term, downward pressure.

    With the S&P/TSX currently at 13,334, we see the potential for a modest pullback to between 13,166 and 13,020

    where 13,166 equates to a 38.2% retracement of its recent move and 13,020 being the 50-day MA.

    One bullish, near-term observation is the developing flag pattern, which if the S&P/TSX were to breakout to the

    upside would have a measuring implication of 793 points, or 14,264 on the S&P/TSX, based on the length o

    flagpole. However, under this scenario, the S&P/TSX would have to break above next key resistance of 13,516

    which marks the July 2011 highs.

    Overall, we expect a near-term consolidation/pullback, but given the technical breakout above key resistance of

    12,900, we believe the outlook for the S&P/TSX has greatly improved, and see additional upside into the seasonally

    strong October to April period.

    Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. As at November 13, 2013.

    Weekly Momentum:

    The information technology, materials and telecommunication services sectors outperformed last week, while the

    energy, utilities and health care sectors underperformed the broader market.

    The materials sector has shown improvement lately but performance has been mixed, with the sector vacillating

    between the best and worst performing sector over the last six weeks.

    The industrials and financials sectors continue to trade well, with the sectors consistently near the top of the sector

    rankings over the last six weeks.

    Market Condition:

    Given the continued strength in the industrials and financials sectors, they are now overbought with Relative

    Strength Index (RSI) levels above 70.

    Other:

    With the recent strength in the telecommunications services sector, it is now trading back above its 200-day MA.

    The utilities and materials sectors remain below their respective 200-day MAs.

    Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index

    The S&P/TSX is heavily weighted in resources and as such, commodity prices are incredibly important to the

    performance of the Canadian equity market. On that front, we see little to get excited about and one reason why we

    continue to prefer U.S. equities.

    The Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index remains in a clear long-term downtrend, and is trading below its declining 50- and

    200-day MAs. The index recently sold-off and broke below short-term support of 275.54. We believe a central facto

    in the weakness was due to a recent surge in the U.S. Dollar Index, which rallied on the strong October U.S

    nonfarm payrolls number. As seen in the lower panel, the CRB index is generally negatively correlated with the U.S.

    Dollar Index, and with the recent strength in the U.S. Dollar Index, the current weakness in the CRB Index should

    not be a surprise.

    The CRB index is now oversold and as such, we could see a short-term oversold bounce in commodity prices;

    however, with the trend clearly down, we expect the CRB index to retest the June 2012 lows of 267.

    To become more constructive on commodity prices, we would need to see the CRB Index break above its

    downtrend and 200-day MA, which converge around the 290 level.

    S&P 500 Index

    Despite increased chatter from some pundits that the market looks toppy, the short -, intermediate- and long-term

    trends for the S&P 500 Index (S&P 500) are upward and very bullish, in our opinion. Since the November lows, the S&P 500 has traded in a strong, upward channel and remains above its rising 50-

    and 200-day MAs. In the short term, we note that: 1) the daily MACD indicator appears to be rolling over; 2) the relative uptrend of the

    small-cap Russell 2000 Index versus the S&P 500 was recently broken; and 3) investor sentiment remains overlybullish. Considering these factors, we see the potential for further near-term pressure, with the S&P 500 possiblyretesting its rising 50-day MA, which currently intersects at 1,718. A decisive break below this level would likelycause us to take a more cautious view on U.S. equity markets.

    Outside of the potential for some short-term backing and filling, we remain bullish on U.S. equities, and with themarkets entering its strong seasonal period of October to April, we see the potential for further gains.

    U.S. Sector Highlights

    Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. As at November 13, 2013.

    Weekly Momentum:

    The cyclical sectors outperformed last week with the materials, financials, energy and information technology

    sectors posting the strongest returns.

    Conversely, the utilities and telecommunication services sectors underperformed last week on the back of higher

    interest rates following the better-than-expected nonfarm payrolls release.

    Financials, which have been weak recently, showed improved performance last week on the back of the strong

    October U.S. nonfarm payrolls number. We view the financials sector as a key leading sector and we prefer to see it

    leading the market, rather than lagging, which has been the case in recent weeks.

    Market Condition:

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

    Other:

    The telecommunication service sector is the only sector trading below its 200-day MA.

    Dow Jones U.S. Life Insurance Index

    We are bullish on the U.S. financials sector, particularly on the U.S. life insurance industry. The Dow Jones U.S. Life Insurance Index remains in a strong uptrend, currently above its rising 50- and 200-day

    MAs. The index recently broke above short-term resistance, making a new high. The sector has exhibited strongrelative strength since May, outperforming the market and more importantly, continuing to outperform the financialssector.

    Stocks that we like technically include: Prudential Financial Inc. (PRU-N), Aflac Incorporated (AFL-N) andMetlife Inc. (MET-N).

    Given the strong price and relative trends we would recommend increasing exposure to U.S. lifecos on weakness.

    Intermarket Picture

    U.S. Dollar IndexThe U.S. Dollar Index reversed its recent weakness, with the U.S. dollar rallying on the better-than-

    expected U.S. nonfarm payrolls release. A stronger jobs market increases the odds that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed)

    could begin to taper its asset purchases, hence the recent strength. We continue to believe the reduction of asset

    purchases will occur in Q1/14, which we believe would be bullish for the U.S. dollar. As such, we see the U.S. Dollar Index

    gaining in 2014, but see it more range-bound over the next few months. The U.S. Dollar Index is currently finding

    resistance at the 100-day MA at 81.44. A break above this level could result in he U.S. Dollar Index rallying back up to its

    resistance in the 82.50 to 83.50 range.

    U.S. 10-Year Treasury YieldWe correctly called for a bounce in the 10-year Treasury yield in our November 4threpor

    when we stated that momentum (MACD) remains weak but could soon bottom. If this plays out, we expect to see the 10-

    year mover higher in the short term, possibly back up to its 50-day MA, currently at 2.71%. The 10-year Treasury yield

    bounced off support at 2.46%, and is quickly approaching resistance. We continue to see the 10-year Treasury yield as

    range-bound over the next few months, but see it moving higher in 2014 on the back of the expected Fed taper.

    Gold The gold price found resistance at its short-term downtrend and 50-day MA, and is now retesting short-term

    support around US$1,250-1,260/oz. With the gold price at a technical support level and nearing an oversold condition, we

    expect a short-term bounce soon. However, if the downtrend persists, the gold price should be capped in the

    US$1,325/oz to US$1,345/oz range, which is the convergence of the 50-day MA and the short-term downtrend. We

    continue to believe gold prices will trade range-bound between US$1,180/oz and US$1,480/oz. on an intermediate basis.

    West Texas Intermediate (WTI) OilOil prices remain under pressure, with WTI oil now trading at its uptrend support

    line at US$92.50/bl. With WTI oil technically oversold and at trend support, we see the potential for a short-term trading

    bounce. Resistance comes in at $US98/bl. which is the convergence of the 200-day MA and previous resistance. If WTI

    oil is unable to hold trend support, we could see it retest key support in the mid-$80s/bl.

    Valeant Pharmaceuticals International lnc.Published November 6, 2013

    VRX has been a stand-out performer in 2013, with the stock up 92% year-to-date. Despite the strong gains, we seethe potential for further upside in the stock. VRX is trading in a solid uptrend, and above its 50- and 200-day moving averages (MA). On recent pullbacks, VRX

    has bounced off its 50-day MA, which is a sign of technical strength. This occurred last week after the companyreported revenues that missed the consensus estimate and lowered earnings guidance. Investors quickly sold thestock on the news, but it recovered by the end of the day. When stocks rally in the face of negative news, it is a signof technical strength. Finally, we note that VRXs relative strength remains strong, as it cont inues to outperform themarket.

    While we see the potential for further upside, we would employ a stop loss just below $100, which was the Auguslow.

    Kohls Corp (KSS-N)Published November 8, 2013

    We are highlighting the technical breakout of Kohls Corp. from our breakout/breakdown model*. KSS has consistently underperformed over the last few years and traded in a range between roughly $41 and $54

    However, with the recent break above key technical resistance of $54, we believe KSS technical profile hasimproved and see the stock in a new higher trading range.

    Following the breakout, KSS became technically overbought with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading above 70Additionally, its MACD indicator looks elevated and could roll over in the short term. As such, the stock could

    encounter some backing and filling in the near term. In light of KSS break above four-year resistance, we believe the stock is now in a new higher trading range, and

    would buy it on any weakness. We would employ a stop loss of $49, which is just below its rising 200-day movingaverage (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.

    Regions Financial Corp. (RF-N)Published November 13, 2013

    U.S. regional banks rallied on Friday, as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield moved higher and yield curve steepenedfollowing the better-than-expected October U.S. nonfarm payrolls number. A steeper yield curve could provide a

    boost to banks profitability, which is what precipitated the breakout in regional banks. We have been bullish on U.S. regional banks for some time and highlighted Keycorp (KEY-N) on March 8, 2013 (up

    30% since then) and Huntington Banchares Inc. (HABN-Q) on July 5, 2103 (up 6.5% since then). Today we arehighlighting Regions Financial Corp. (RF-N) as an attractive technical buy candidate.

    RF is trading in a solid uptrend and above its rising 200-day moving average (MA). Since its July high, the shareprice has been trending lower, but we believe the stock is forming a symmetrical triangle and could breakout. Oftenwhen stocks breakout from triangles, it is in the direction of its previous trend, which in RFs case suggests the nexmove could be upward. We see the potential for further upside, but recommend investors employ a stop loss belowthe 200-day MA around $9.
