Daniel Straus Invesco Solar ETF TAN-N COMMENT May 26, 2016

This is a theme that has been resonating quite strongly recently with many investors. He considers many of these sector ETF’s as kind of tactical plays for short-term views. Because it is such a niche product, it really only applies if you have a strong view of the solar industry. It holds a lot of Chinese technology companies. China is still very much at the centre of global volatility, and this may pull you in directions that you may not want to go.

BUY

He is long this one. He is long the solar industry. Whatever policy is coming out in the world, what we have seen is that alternative energy has continued its march higher. It is a reasonably good entry point, but it will be quite volatile.

TOP PICK
TAN scores high in ESG, holding energy stocks that don't add to global warming. US and Canadian governments support this industry, so renewables will be the fastest area of growth for electricity in the coming decade, and solar will be the fastest-grower among renewables. Valuations are reasonable. Lots of tailwind here.
PARTIAL BUY
Long-term outlook for solar and increased efficacy in technology is inevitable. You also have the war against carbon. A long-term, secular bull market. Tough to say how this would play out in an election. It will have volatility, so you could buy the dips. The "explore" part of your portfolio, not the "core".
BUY

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 20/20, Up 80%) It's been a volatile ride. ESG and the Biden administration has committed to 4x the green energy sources in the US. A longer term trend. Higher volatility so sizing should be smaller and should rebalance as you go.

COMMENT

Down 27% since late June. Hurt by rising interest rates. Solar panels are discretionary, another headwind.
