Right now the market is very stretched. by Youssef Zohny

Right now the market is very stretched.

The resource areas of the market have been extremely strong this year and likely are going to see a pullback here given they look pretty stretched and likely overbought.

It seems like some investors are maybe booking some profits ahead of that (U.S. earnings), canadian investors are going to be watching U.S. bank earnings, it is probably the strongest correlation to Canadian bank earnings.

With a weak loonie strategy going forward, definitely there are certain sectors of the Canadian economy that are going to be benefiting.

Some of them are resource-related, some of them are in manufacturing, and some of them are industrial.

We've had a nice relief rally but definitely the risks are to the downside.

We see further weakness in the equity markets in the medium term.

I think a lot of people will be looking toward the Fed meeting next week and its impact on the U.S. dollar, should the Fed be a bit more dovish and hold off on rates, that could give a boost to commodity prices.

It seems that the global economy is weakening, and we'd still be very cautious on the consumer, especially in Canada.

There's quite a bit of panic in the energy sector right now. by Youssef Zohny

There's quite a bit of panic in the energy sector right now.

There's quite a bit of bad news priced into the sector and there could still be some short-term pain, but it's definitely starting to look more attractive.

We're seeing pretty broad-based selling today. It looks like investors are getting a little nervous ahead of tomorrow's U.S. jobs report.

When a sector is oversold and beaten up as it is right now, long-term investors can see some good entry points.
