ELLIOTT WAVE
MacDonald, Dettwiler & Associates Ltd.

Investing in Canadian stocks can provide an advantage, and when a stock signals a buy signal, it's worth looking at.
Position: Buy
| MacDonald, Dettwiler & Associates Ltd. provides ground-based and space-based information solutions that support the operational needs of government -- military and civilian -- and commercial customers worldwide. The company operates in two segments: communications, where it manufactures and integrates satellites; and surveillance & intelligence. When it gives me a buy signal in a market that is recovering from a correction, I take a serious look at it. |

| The daily chart in Figure 1 shows the buy signal given by the vote line. The final signal given is a combination of the strategies shown in green below the vote line. Eyeballing past buy & sell signals given by the vote line shows that by following their signals, the result would have been profitable. Note also that the pattern shown appears to be a flat pattern (see Figure 2). The RSI (relative strength index) shown is in a positive trend, but the TDI (trend detection index) looks negative. |

| The chart in Figure 2 is an Elliott wave count of the share. It suggests that the flag pattern shown is a WAVE 4 correction. The flag pattern is suggesting that should the price break out at $71.95, the target is $93.60 (75.21-47.31=27.90+65.70=93.60). Note the RSI, which is in buy mode. Note the JM internal band buy & sell signal. A JM internal band is a 15-period simple moving average offset by 2% positive and 2% negative. |

| The monthly chart in Figure 3 shows an Elliott wave count that suggests the price could be moving into a wave 5 of WAVE 3 of WAVE III. This is a bullish pattern. The RSI indicator is still bullish. I would be a buyer of McDonald, Dettwiler & Associates shares at the present price for a long-term hold. |
