Brendan Caldwell Chicago Mercantile Exchange CME-N PAST TOP PICK Apr 03, 2025

Dominant treasure futures market company. Very good dividend history. Would recommend buying. Would watch for competitors, but if other companies not able to compete - would be a good investment. Cautiously optimistic on outlook. 

Gold benefits from fears of inflation and central bank's concern over the USD. Since tariffs started, the price has been rocky with a slight decline. The problem isn't gold itself, but people owning gold maybe deleveraging across the board during this steep sell-off. If tariffs are long-term and therefore inflationary, gold prices will rise. He owns no gold. He buys dividend stocks. CME yields 2% + special dividends, which avoids exposure to the underlying commodity. Rather, CME takes a cut whenever there's a trade in commodities like gold, like now.
