Re: Larry from yesterday.
I think that was the Trump trade bounce for financials and industrials (rails), DJT, and TSLA. S&P and Nasdaq has gone up too fast and needs a cooling period, and tech will most likely sell off if this happens.

Any thoughts on the BCE purchase from the other day? Could this be a major restructuring coming in the new year in which they slash the dividend just like AT&T a while back? I noticed that the analysts are surprisingly not so negative on this. eg. Morningstar said they’ll keep $60 PT on it after the Ziply deal and then went to $56 after the earnings yesterday.

Any thoughts on gold out there now that the Cheeto is coming back ? Pretty ugly chart this month.

Thoughts on financials – continue to outperform in CAD/US for the next year vs tech. Financials US trading at 18 PE vs historical high of 16 PE, CAD 14 PE vs historical high of 13 PE. So the financials are already trading beyond their normal high, but given some of the comments I hear from advisors and BNN, they consider financials cheap until they trade at the market PE (so there is 2-3 multiple expansion possible). Meanwhile tech will likely perform at the market performance subject to certain carve out areas. Short term everything looks overbought, but given the seasonals along with lowering rates and change in government its hard to say financials will not be the largest beneficiary. Technicals in the financials continue to point to up and to the right. Full disclosure, I ended up going long on the financials at the beginning of Sept and do not have any exposure to tech at this time.

I think BCE’s change in strategy is an admission growth in CAD is limited so they are looking to pivot to find some growth to support the dividend in the future. The fact they confirmed no increase in dividend in 2025 kind of points to maintaining it. Meantime, they are cashflow neutral so unless the Ziply turns out to be less than advertised, they likely try and grow the cashflow. However, if nothing changes and the cashflow shrinks further towards end of 2025, then a cut could be in the cards.

Sit on the gold if you have it, it’s going to $3000 in the intermediate term. Short term it was overbought and needed a pullback, but this is likely to be done in the next month as it reloads in December to restart the next seasonal strength window.
