When are new plans published?
Every trading day before the market opens. Each plan is priced from the previous day’s close.
How do I read a plan?
Entry is the price to buy at, or to sell at for a short plan. Stop is the exit if the price moves against the plan. The three exits sell 40%, 30% and 20% of the position as the price reaches each level.
What is the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV)?
Canada’s exchange for smaller, younger companies, many in mining, energy and technology. It’s run by TMX Group, like the TSX. TSXV tickers end in ".V" on analiti.ca, for example LIO.V.
What’s the difference between the TSX and the TSXV?
The TSX lists larger, established companies. The TSXV lists smaller, growing companies, with lower listing requirements. TSXV stocks usually trade less, move more and can have wider bid-ask spreads.
How do I buy TSX or TSXV stocks?
Through any Canadian brokerage account, such as a TFSA, RRSP or non-registered account. Search the ticker and place an order. For thinly traded TSXV stocks, a limit order sets the most you’ll pay.
How can I evaluate a TSXV mining stock?
Look at:
- cash in the bank against yearly spending
- shares outstanding and how fast they grow (dilution)
- whether officers and directors are buying
- the project’s progress and location
- how much trades each day
Each stock page shows most of these.
What is Superstock?
A daily list of TSX and TSXV stocks where company officers or directors bought shares in the last 90 days, checked against 15 rules. The table shows which pass.
What does insider buying mean?
A company’s officers or directors buying its shares with their own money, reported in public filings.
Do you cover ETFs?
Yes. Every TSX-listed ETF, grouped as: places to hold cash, funds to hold for years, trade plans for weeks or days, and target-year models for retirement and RESPs.
What is an all-in-one ETF, like XEQT?
One fund that holds a mix of stock and bond ETFs from around the world and rebalances itself. The “hold for years” list compares them by fee, size and return.
Do you show options?
Yes, for TSX-listed stocks and ETFs that have options on the Montréal Exchange: call options and covered calls, with the funds required and the possible results. TSXV stocks don’t have listed options.
How is the track record calculated?
Every published plan is counted, wins and losses, from the day it was published until it closes.
Where does the data come from?
Exchange closing prices, public company filings and the Bank of Canada. Every page shows the date of its data.
Is analiti.ca free?
Yes.
