Volume 5 Highlights
Since bouncing off its 50-day moving average (MA) in early August
the S&P/TSX Composite Index (S&P/TSX) is up over 3% and fo
the first time in over a year, is outperforming the S&P 500 Index
(S&P 500). However, it is now once again trading at the key
technical resistance level of 12,900, which has contained the
S&P/TSX over 2013. Because the S&P/TSX remains range-boundwe expect the S&P/TSX to be capped at 12,900 in the near-term
and see it heading lower in the September/October period, which
has historically been a weak period for the equity markets.
The REIT sector had a rough summer, with the S&P/TSX Capped
REIT Index down roughly 20% since May. The weakness in the
sector can largely be attributed to the recent rise in government
bond yields. Given our view that government bond yields should be
nearing their peak on an intermediate basis, the recent pressure on
REITs should soon abate.
With the S&P 500 approaching technical resistance and a nearoverbought condition, we expect the S&P 500 to struggle in thecoming days and see the potential for some near-term profit taking
resulting in a pullback to its uptrend, currently intersecting at 1,650.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) likely to announce a tapering
of asset purchases following its September 17-18 meeting, and theS&P 500 near technical resistance (and all-time highs), we believe
the S&P 500 is approaching an important inflection point, with the
market reaction in the coming days, possibly providing a window
into the next few quarters.
The S&P 500 Industrials Index remains in a clear, long-term upward
channel but the sector is quickly approaching short-term technica
resistance and is nearing an overbought condition, which could lead
to some near-term profit taking. However, we would look to increase
exposure to the industrials sector on weakness, as its technica
profile remains bullish in our view.
In this weeks report we highlight Bank of America Corp. (BAC-N
and Dundee REIT (D.UN-T) as attractive buy candidates and
recommend investors trim/sell Conagra Inc. (CAG-N), Campbel
Soup Co. (CPB-N) and Kellogg Co. (K-N).

Technical Commentary
S&P/TSX Composite Index
Since bouncing off its 50-day moving average (MA) in early August, the S&P/TSX Composite Index (S&P/TSX) is
up over 3% and for the first time in over a year, is outperforming the S&P 500 Index (lower panel). However, it is
now once again trading at the key technical resistance level of 12,900, which has contained the S&P/TSX over
2013.
The recent strength in the S&P/TSX was in large part driven by strength of the financials sector, which represents35% of the S&P/TSX. Following strong Q3/13 earnings results, the financials sector has gone on to make new
highs, outperforming the broader market.
However, with the financials sector near overbought technically, and the S&P/TSX at key resistance, we expect the
S&P/TSX to rollover and decline to its support around 12,550, which is the convergence of the 50- and 200-day
MAs. A break below this level would likely lead to a deeper correction, with the S&P/TSX possibly trading down to
the bottom of its year-long range of 11,900.
Conversely, if the S&P/TSX were to break above the key 12,900 resistance level, we would likely re-evaluate our
near-term cautious view.
Overall, because the S&P/TSX remains range-bound, we expect the S&P/TSX to be capped at 12,900 in the near-
term and see it heading lower in the September/October period, which has historically been a weak period for the
equity markets.

Canadian Sector Highlights
Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. As at September 11, 2013.
Weekly Momentum:
The telecommunications sector came back to life after Verizon Communications Inc. announced that it would not be
entering the Canadian marketplace, moving on to post the strongest sector returns over the last two weeks.
As already discussed, the financials sector remains strong, hovering near the top of our sector rankings over the
last three weeks. The materials sector fell to the bottom of our sector rankings over the last two weeks, following strong gains made
in August. As we predicted in the Weekly Insights report dated August 23, 2013, the strength in August was likely
just an oversold bounce, with technicals remaining weak for the sector.
Market Condition:
All sectors are neutrally ranked, with Relative Strength Index (RSI) readings between 30 and 70.
Other:
With the recent strength in the S&P/TSX, the utilities sector is the only sector trading below its 50-day MA
The telecommunications, utilities and materials sectors remain below their 200-day MAs, which is one reason why
we suggest an underweight in these sectors within portfolios.

S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index
The REIT sector had a rough summer, with the S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index down roughly 20% since May.
The weakness in the sector can largely be attributed to the recent rise in government bond yields.
As seen in the chart above, the peak of the REIT sector in May was concurrent with the breakout and rapid rise in
the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, which moved up nearly 130 bps over this period.
Given our view that government bond yields should be nearing their peak on an intermediate basis (longer term, we
see rates moving higher), the recent pressure on REITs should soon abate. Additionally, given how oversold the
REIT space is, we could see a decent countertrend rally in the coming weeks.
If this thesis plays out, we would focus on names such as Dundee REIT (D.UN), H&R REIT (HR.UN) and RioCan
REIT (REI.UN).

S&P 500 Index
In the Weekly Insights report dated August 23, 2013, we stated that with the S&P 500 approaching uptrendsupport at 1,630 and momentum near oversold levels, that we see the potential for a trading bounce over the nexweek or so.
This short-term call has materialized and now, we note that the S&P 500 is quickly approaching its next technicaresistance around 1,700.
Given recent market strength, the S&P 500 is nearing an overbought condition, with an RSI reading of 62.23 (above70 indicates overbought).
With the S&P 500 approaching technical resistance and a near overbought condition, we expect the S&P 500 tostruggle in the coming days and see the potential for some near-term profit taking, resulting in a pullback to itsuptrend, currently intersecting at 1,650.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) likely to announce a tapering of asset purchases following its September 17-18 meeting, and the S&P 500 near technical resistance (and all-time highs), we believe the S&P 500 is approachingan important inflection point, with the market reaction in the coming days, possibly providing a window into the nextfew quarters.
We remain bullish on U.S. equities longer term as: 1) the S&P 500 remains in a clear, long-term uptrend and isabove its rising 50- and 200-week MAs; 2) the Advance/Decline Line for the S&P 500 continues to make new highsshowing strong market participation; 3) the S&P 500 has broken and remained above its previous resistance andall-time highs of 1,575; and 4) sector performance continues to indicate a strong market, with the cyclical sectors(consumer discretionary, industrials, and financials) outperforming the broader market.

Weekly Momentum:
Last week was a clear risk on week with the financials, industrials, consumer discretionary and information
technology sectors outperforming the broad market. The health care sector was the top-performing sector last week, and continues its trend of outperformance versus
the broad market.
With the 10-year Treasury yield hitting a two and a half year high of 3% last week, the interest sensitive consumer
staples, utilities and telecommunications sectors underperformed the broad market last week.
Market Condition:
All sectors are neutrally ranked, with RSI readings between 30 and 70.
Other: The utilities and telecommunications sectors remain below their 50- and 200-day MAs.

U.S. S&P 500 Industrials Index
The S&P 500 Industrials Index remains in a clear, long-term upward channel, being supported by rising 50- and
200- day MAs.
Additionally, relative strength continues to improve, with the industrials sector recently making a new relative high.
The sector is approaching its short-term technical resistance and is nearing an overbought condition, which could
lead to some near-term profit taking.
However, we would look to increase exposure to the industrials sector on weakness, as its technical profile remains
bullish in our view.

Intermarket Picture
U.S. Dollar Index The U.S. Dollar Index recently rallied off its short-term support around 80.50, up to resistance o
82.50, which is the convergence of the 50- and 100-day MAs. The U.S. Dollar Index remains range-bound between 80.50
and 84.50 but we expect a stronger U.S. dollar in the months ahead, given our belief that the Fed will soon begin to taper
its asset purchases, which should be dollar bullish.
U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield continues to move higher, recently hitting our technica
target of 3%. With the recent move, the 10-year yield broke its 7-year downtrend (green circle). Next technical resistance
comes in at 3.25%, then 3.75%. While the upside break in yields is technically significant in the long term, we continue to
expect an upside cap in yields of 3.0% to 3.25% on an intermediate basis, given our expectations for continued anemic
economic growth and benign inflationary pressures. For the near term, we note that yields remain technically overbought
while sentiment around government bonds remains heavily bearish. Given these extreme readings, we see the potentia
for a countertrend rally in bond prices, and lower yields in the coming weeks.

Gold Following a significant sell-off in June, gold was technically oversold. With gold entering its strong seasonal period
in September, it was set up for an oversold bounce. Since the bottom in July at US$1,180/oz, gold has traded in a short-
term upward channel, but more recently found technical resistance around the US$1,430/oz level, which was resistance in
the May June period. Gold is now pulling back to its lower channel line, and with momentum rolling over (lower panel),
we believe gold prices could pull back further, into a range of US$1,328/oz (50-day MA) to US$1,270/oz (August lows)
With our expectations of: 1) a Fed taper in the coming months, which could be dollar bullish and in turn put pressure on
gold prices; 2) gold prices nearing the end of their strong seasonal period; and 3) a delay of a potential military strike in
Syria, we continue to believe upside is limited in the near term and expect gold prices to pull back in the coming weeks.
On an intermediate basis, we see gold trading in a range between US$1,180/oz and US$1,480/oz.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil The recent escalation of geopolitical issues in the Middle East has put a bid under
oil prices, and as a corollary, has led to the highest net long position in WTI oil futures positions seen for some time. With
the U.S. stepping back from a potential military strike on Syria, and our belief that the recent rally in oil prices is more
technical than fundamental, we continue to expect a pullback in WTI oil prices, possibly back to the US$98 to
US$100/barrel range. Additionally, we note that natural gas prices have recently started to outperform oil prices (lower
panel), as the strong seasonal period for natural gas approaches. We prefer natural gas to oil in the coming fall months.

Bank of America Corp. (BAC-N) Published September 9, 2013
Over the last year BAC has been trading in a solid uptrend and above its rising 200-day moving average (MA)BACs relative trends have also been strong, and the stock has been outperforming the broader market over theperiod.
On a near-term basis the stock has formed a flag pattern which is continuation pattern, and is close to registering amomentum buy signal (middle panel).
Given BACs strong price and relative technical trends, and near-term potential buy signals, we believe additionaupside is possible. We would employ a stop-loss just below the 200-day MA at $12.50.

Dundee REIT (D.UN-T) Published September 11, 2013
2013 has been challenging for Dundee REITs share price, with the stock down 22% year-to-date. The weakness inD.UN can largely be attributed to the recent rise in government bond yields. This can clearly be seen in the chartwith D.UN peaking in May, concurrent with the rise in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield. Given our view that the rise ingovernment bond yields may be nearing its end (on an intermediate-term basis), we believe D.UN could experiencean oversold bounce soon.
Supporting this thesis we note that D.UN recently broke its short-term downtrend (green circle), and that there is apositive momentum divergence, with the MACD indicator putting in a higher low (lower panel).
Given the recent upside trend break, the positive momentum divergence, and our view that government bond yieldscould be near a peak on an intermediate basis, we believe D.UN is set up for a short-term rally.

Conagra Inc. (CAG-N) Published September 13, 2013
We are following up on our May 13, 2013 recommendation to trim/sell Conagra Inc. after CAG was captured as atechnical breakdown this week in our model*.
We recommended investors trim/sell CAG if it fell below support of $34.50. As displayed in the chart, this occurredshortly after our recommendation. Although the stock made a new high of $37 in early August, it has been weak
since then and has broken through its uptrend and 200-day moving average on heavy volume. CAG is now technically oversold with a Relative Strength Index reading of 22.13 (below 30 indicates oversold). As
such, the stock could experience an oversold bounce, but given the technical breakdown we recommend investorsexit the position on any strength.
It is interesting to note that other U.S. food stocks have also been weak. Campbell Soup Co. (CPB-N) and KelloggCo. (K-N) have broken down and also appear in our screen this week. We recommend investors trim/sell thesepositions on any strength, given their deteriorating technical trends.
*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.
