Historically, is their a sector that is the "canary in the mine" that would be a sign of a bear market?

Q: EFN is on the verge (again) of breaking through $10 resistance established back in the fall of 2017 (it also peaked around $10.25 two months ago). If the breakthrough is sustained, there should not be much to stop it running back up to the $12+ range. Would you continue to hold for another 3 - 6 months to see if this plays out? Aside from technicals, is the company continuing to make progress in its restructuring?
Q: Please comment on earnings and your position on the company going forward. Thank you.

Q: What is 5i thoughts of Caldwell Partners' all-time record-breaking quarterly results. It seems that they have recovered nicely from a slow start to this fiscal-year. They also suggest in their outlook that fiscal Q4 could be just as strong (or stronger) than Q3 which could lead to a record-breaking year for the Company. If anything the results and outlook is great bell-weather indicator of the strength of US economy for which a large portion Caldwell's revenues are generated from.

Q: I bought FSZ in early May looking for a lower risk financial company to add to my portfolio of BAM, TD, BNS, SLF, GSY.
FSZ is now down 10% since purchase and still slowly dropping. Would you suggest I sell and move on and add to one of my other financials or add something else, or hold on to FSZ. If another financial, what would you suggest.

Q: I have FAH and FIH in a long term RRSP. I believe in the long term growth of these regions and I’m cautiously hopeful Mr Watsa and team are making sound PE investments to try to benefit from regional growth. But I find them tricky to assess because of the fees and the multi-asset PE structure. Can you provide your view on the financial performance of these companies? I would also appreciate your thoughts on whether you’d consider topping up a relatively small position. Please deduct two questions and deal with each separately. Thanks!
Q: Hi :
I noticed that CM is selling at low P/E (9.2) and analysts are very pessimistic with 12 on "on hold". I do not like CIBC and most of the time I own TD and NA. , but, sometimes being contrarian could be the right approach by considering the regression to the mean effect. I am very low on banks and financials now because I feel we are at the end of the cycle and banks have betas that are a bit high for me. Investment horizon is 5 years at least. Would you buy now ?, or wait until it feels like it bottoms ?, what criteria would you use to get in ?.
thanks
