A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert (A Commentary)

COMMENT
September outlook Markets had a hot August while the VIX slid. Smooth sailing? No. Banks offer hybrid growth + value, though yields have pulled back in recent days. With an OPEC+ meeting coming up, oil looks promising. He's cautious about positioning. The Nasdaq has outperformed the S&P by 8% in the last 3 months, so people are questioning where growth will be this fall.
COMMENT
After a strong August, what's your September outlook? She's long. If there's a correction, which won't shock her, she will ride it out, then look for things to buy. She won't trade around it.
COMMENT
Crypto outlook She is exposed to Bitcoin. It's a small bet, because there could be tremendous downside. She's keeping her fingers crossed.
COMMENT
September outlook The trend has definitely been a friend. There were 12 all-time highs in the S&P in August. He doesn't see much upside heading into September. There's crowding into just a handful of names, making up 45% of the Nasdaq 100, so there's little breadth in the market. That's a concern.
COMMENT
Ethereum It's outpacing Bitcoin, currently 45% of the market cap of Bitcoin and their values are now greater than Bitcoin. We're seeing a lot of asset that people want to own in cryptos that are other than Bitcoin, and that likely includes Ethereum.
COMMENT
Afghanistan. This will be a political problem for Biden. It makes it harder for him to get other agendas to move forward with spending. It may be one of the reasons why the Feds have been cautious about unwinding and tapering.
COMMENT
Hurricane Ida and oil. Bullish on energy from a trading position. Disruption of supply is a positive factor for prices. OPEC reaffirms there is more supply coming. There has been underinvestment and the market may be surprised as to how high oil prices can remain.
COMMENT
US Job Report. It will be another couple reports before the jobs lost will be recovered. There is a labour shortage and investment in technology will be part and parcel of the transformation for those low end unskilled jobs.
COMMENT
Educational Segment. A central bank is behind the curve when it does not raise interest rates to keep up with inflation. If we look at the market based expectations of inflation and transitory inflation, the expectations for long-run inflation has not moved. The market still believes in transitory inflation. The treasury cannot issue more bonds and the debt ceiling has been hit. QE and debt monetization will be part of the future and there will be inflation pressure. Financial markets will come under stress in the next few months because of it.
N/A

Market He is seeing opportunity in the market. The COVID opportunity still has legs The delta wave has created a second down wave and there are opportunities for recovery stocks like AC-T. He believes the industrial sector, that is suffering from chip problems, that as it works through the system over 1-2 years there will be significant upside in some companies. The traditional growth stocks may under-perform in the next year but after that you should stay with them.

COMMENT
Prices may stay higher but if the economy does not recover, you can't buy anything. Wages will probably not go up but with inflation, people will just buy less. If we stay in this low interest rate environment for a while, stocks will remain at higher valuations. Markets are extremely expensive, but there is value in industrials and energy.

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Although seasonality points to weakness in September, it is hard to perfectly time the market. Rather than timing the market, keeping weighting at levels that you're comfortable through the cycle is recommended. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

COMMENT
Markets. Things will cool down in the fall. He has a feeling that we've come a long way, and the recovery has been adequately discounted by markets. Policy set to tighten, fiscal or monetary. Plus, this is usually a tough period for equities. He's raised some cash and is hoping for better prices to reinvest capital.
COMMENT
Canadian stocks. Canada's in a good position. Our market is relatively discounted compared to the S&P. Energy is set up quite well. Continued strong demand on the back of a bumpy, but steady, reopening process, with relatively limited supply. No incentive for shale to increase market share. This favours the Canadian market. If we get a bit of market rotation, investors will come back to infrastructure and dividend players, rather than the risk-taking of the last few months.
