Process and Methodology

Our stock universe will be restricted to S&P/TSX Composite members. Technical outlooks for various commodities may occasionally be included.

Breakouts or breakdowns from well-established uptrends or downtrends will be our focus. We will always look for confirmation of the expected move by examining either the RSI or the MACD, or both. Volume trends and moving averages may also be observed for momentum and trend confirmation.

Traditional technical chart patterns (head-and-shoulders tops and bottoms, ascending and descending triangles, etc.) will be highlighted when applicable.

Support and resistance levels will always be identified. A short- to medium-term timeframe is targeted for completion of technical patterns (3-6 months), but if the move is expected to take longer this will be identified also.

Candlestick pricing will always be used and candlestick patterns will be examined to confirm/indicate trends.

Relative stock performance vs the S&P/TSX Composite will be examined to indicate the potential for stock outperformance of the broader market.

Highlighted stocks will be revisited to update investors on whether the expected technical move has succeeded or failed. In short, these ideas will be consistently monitored.

Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL-T, $39.44): Fitting To A Tee

Gildan Activewear (GIL-T) has broken up cleanly through resistance at $36.50. The uptrend appears set to continue provided the 100-day MA acts as support and the MACD remains above the centerline (as it has

since June 2012 (circles)). Shares poised to challenge pre-credit crisis highs near $45.00.

Pason Systems Inc. (PSI-T, $17.38): Channel Surfing

Pason Systems (PSI-T) remains in a nice uptrend channel, signalling more potential upside. Shares appear poised to move near term to the upper end of the channel as the MACD is turning (circled). The MACD has consistently

recovered after moving into sharply negative territory. Each MACD ‘bounce’ has signalled a share price rally within the uptrend channel. Near-term upside potential is indicated to $19.00.

A break below the 200-day MA, which coincides with the lower end of the channel, would negate the rally.

Thomson Reuters Corp. (TRI-T, $32.73): Consolidation Over

After consolidating for the past 18 months and challenging resistance five times, Thomson Reuters (TRI-T) has finally made a clear breakout on higher volume (circled).

Medium to longer term, little resistance exists until $36.00 level, which roughly corresponds to the 62% Fibonacci retracement. The 50-day MA (currently $30.72) is now poised to act as support. A break below this level may signal the end of the rally.

Husky Energy Inc. (HSE-T, $29.95): Double Top

Husky Energy (HSE-T) shares rallied almost 47% from their June 2012 lows to their January 2013 highs. They now appear to be showing signs of technical exhaustion.

Support dating to February 2011 has failed and a double-top reversal formation has emerged. A downtrending RSI and MACD confirm the downside momentum as does the MACD breech of the centerline (circled). Support at the

50-day MA has also failed. 100-day MA may now act as support, but no meaningful support is signalled until $28.00. Any move above $32.00 indicates a reversal

of the downtrend.

Boardwalk REIT (BEI.UN-T, $61.60): Board-Walking The Plank?

After more than a year of consolidation, Boardwalk REIT (BEI.UN-T) has now moved below support. The 200-day MA, which acted as support during the last extended consolidation in September 2011, has failed. Immediate downside risk appears limited to $59.00; however, a move below this level would be more dangerous. A move up out of the consolidation range would indicate a resumption of the uptrend.

Glossary

Ascending Triangle A continuation pattern where the period of consolidation takes the shape of an upward sloping triangle with an ascending lower trendline. A break down through the support trendline can sometimes mark a reversal pattern. Bollinger Bands Bollinger bands gauge a security’s trading activity and trend by showing a range of normal price swings. Candlestick Chart A graphical representation of prices where opening and closing prices are connected to form coloured boxes. Generally, a series of dark candlesticks suggest downside momentum and light candlesticks upside momentum. Continuation Pattern A chart formation that signals the continuation of the prevailing trend. Continuation patterns often occur after a period of brief consolidation. Descending Triangle A continuation pattern where the period of consolidation takes the shape of a downward sloping triangle with a declining upper resistance trendline. A break up through the resistance trendline can sometimes mark a reversal pattern. Double Bottom Chart formation that normally occurs after an extended downtrend and resembles a W. Double bottoms signal potential price reversals. Double Top Chart formation that normally occurs after an extended uptrend and resembles an M. Double tops signal potential price reversals. Fibonacci Sequences Mathematical relationships that help predict points of support or resistance. The key Fibonacci ratio is 61.8% also referred to as "the golden ratio" or "the golden mean". Flag A chart formation in which prices move sharply to create a near vertical line (the flag pole) followed by a small move in the opposite direction (the flag). Flags are often continuation patterns. Gap An open space on a chart. A gap is created when the low of one time period is above the high of the previous period, or the high of one time period is below the low of the previous period. Gaps can signal breakouts or continuations of up or down trends. Head-and-Shoulders Formation A reversal chart formation that looks like a head and shoulders (with both a defined left and right shoulder). Head-and-shoulders formations can occur at both the bottom and top of a trend. MACD The moving average convergence/divergence determines turning points in a trend by differencing two exponential moving averages of specific periods. The trendline of the MACD can also signal continuation or reversal trends for share prices. Moving Average A statistical tool that plots smoothed prices to signal future price trends. 50-day and 200-day moving averages are the most common indicators. Resistance level A technical level that prices may have trouble rising above (i.e., where the price may experience selling pressure).

Page 8: Technically Speaking - Raymond James

Technically Speaking March 19, 2013 | Page 8 of 8

Rounded Bottom A bullish reversal pattern taking the shape of a U. Ideally, the rounded bottom should be accompanied by a similar volume pattern. RSI The relative strength index measures the velocity of directional price movements with extreme values indicating overbought and oversold conditions. The trendline of the RSI can also signal continuation or reversal trends for share prices. Support Level A technical level that prices may have trouble falling below (i.e., where the price should have buying support). Trendline A line connecting a series of ascending lows (in the case of an up trendline) or descending highs (in the case of a down trendline).
