The Bottom Line
Use weakness into November as an opportunity to acquire attractive equities and ETFs. Please be patient and wait until technical indicators are showing signs of bottoming following a short term correction. Waiting until four major stock market moving events are over appears prudent unless you want to “roll the dice”. Preferred selections are economically sensitive sectors such as China, technology, consumer discretionary, materials, Canadian financial services, lumber and industrials.

also:

Large cash positions held by individuals and corporations remain on the sidelines and are likely to remain there until at least yearend. When the cash starts to move into equity markets, intermediate upside potential is significant.

Seasonal influences between now and at least next May are positive. The current quarter and the first two quarters of next year historically are the strongest three quarters in the U.S. Presidential cycle. In addition, November historically is a good month for equity markets.

The recovery in China is significant and important for the recovery in world equity markets during the next 12 months.
