Purchasing put options based on a bearish flag
Martin Noël
As the following graph shows, in July 2018, Shopify Inc. cl. A (SHOP) reached a double peak at around $230. This slowed its momentum, with the stock subsequently falling to $172.90 to climb back up to its current level, $195.81, by Friday, August 10, 2018.

Resource Investing with Long-term Options
Patrick Ceresna
Old Truism: “A bear market is the author of a bull market and a bull market is the author of a bear market”. During our interview on MacroVoices with resource investing legend Rick Rule, Rick made a core observation that natural resource investing is different than most mainstream forms of investing. To paraphrase,...
Hedging With SXO Options Using Portfolio Beta
Jason Ayres
This year has been one of headline risk and investor hypersensitivity to say the least. Yet despite all the market moving tweets and the ongoing trade tantrum, both U.S. and Canadian markets continue to climb a wall of worry.

Taking advantage of a bull triangle
Martin Noël
As the following graph shows, the price of shares in Colliers International Group (CIGI) has clearly been on a bullish trend since the stock bottomed out at $58.51 on September 19, 2017. We can see that the 200-day moving average (in red) provided support when the price fell in February 2018, and that, throughout the series,...
Timing the Bottom on BCE
Patrick Ceresna
There is no shortage of analysts offering alternating fundamental outlooks for BCE (TSX:BCE). Some concerned with the business model and declining growth rates, others proclaiming the BCE dividend stream to be more sound than owning bonds. Personally, as a trader I look for the tactical play where I can profit from key...
