Evolve Automobile Innovation Index ETF Hedged
CARS-T
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Jul 26, 2021
Really likes this ETF. A third is exposed to semiconductors. Another third is car manufacturers such as Tesla or Neo. Then a third is batteries. It is equal weight so it does not rely on one single name. If we get a pull back, step in.
The caveat for this ETF is that Tesla is grossly overvalued. The only reason for buying Tesla was for the inclusion in the S&P. They currently trades at $1.5M per car they will sell next year.
CARS' performance mirrors the rise and fall of e-cars of the past year, which returned shareholders a tidy 70%, though has flatlined year-to-date by barely rising 2%. Since bottoming in mid-May, the sector has been rangebound. CARS has been stuck between $45-50, stuck in no man's land when it was trading below $30 12 months ago, but plunged from $63 after Valentine's Day when e-car fever was hot. However, rangebound is sometimes a good time to enter an equity. Consider this a spec buy, but beware that the average daily volume is only 5,633 shares.
Very narrow set of securities, but those who are developing electric drive trains, autonomous driving, etc. When you think about the driver problem, such as we are seeing in the UK, we will see an application of tech to solve this problem.
