A tech ETF and a good way to play tech. This has done well this year. With earnings now, this could do even better. We're entering strong seasonality for tech which could boost the wider market. Keep an eye on Apple's earnings on Thursday. Tech is good, at least short term.

The tech sector is trading at 28x forward PE, back to the pre-Covid peak. Tech trades at a 45% premium to the overall market while the 10-year average is 9% premium. During the tech bubble it was a 53% premium. He gets the AI enthusiasm, but doesn't understand the tech disconnect from higher rates. The Fed has said it will increase rates. Tech stocks are expensive. Tech outflows have been the highest in the past 10 weeks. We'll test 4,200 on the S&P and could run further if it breaks above that. If it doesn't, we'll see.

The valuation has no room to go up. The best EPS growth will be 8-12%. You can do better outside tech. Also, the sector that performed the best in the last bull market is not the best one in the next bull run, history says.

We will see more enterprise spend and lower growth in the next few years. You want to be in companies that continue to grow earnings and generate free cash flow and buy back stock. You must distinguish between types of tech companies--those with these characters and those that don't. She will add to big tech (Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Adobe and Meta).

In the US tech sector, granddaddy of ETFs. Seasonal period takes a brief hiatus, and then picks up again until late January. Performing well. He was overweight tech, but has taken that back as he transitions to the new year. Rotation might take funds away from tech towards the end of January. We're still in the window, but it's getting late to issue a "buy". If you're a trader, there could be some opportunity for the next month or so.

The 10-year yield His technical analysis: the 10-year yield has moved down since its 1.77% high earlier this year then fell down to 1.2% in mid-July, but when it rallied to 1.38% the yield hit a ceiling and closed today at 1.28% which disappointed those who expected it to rise higher. The popular belief of it hitting 2% by year's end won't happen. Given the yield, tech looks good. The XLK chart shows an uptrend since Dec. 2019. Likes this sector. Buy it.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks To compare, the S&P outperforms XLK by 3%. However, if we consider the past month, the roles are reversed, with the S&P up 3.3%, but the XLK popping over 7%. XLK pays a 1.02% dividend, which isn’t bad for tech, and it charges a low 0.13% MER. XLK trades at a 32.6x PE, which falls exactly between Apple’s 29.2x and Microsoft’s 35.2x.

One of the broader ETFs out there, holding larger cap tech vendors. You get on the train and expect a great deal of volatility. Instead, take a look at some of the true tech hedge funds out there, which have a moral of capital preservation. Smooths out the downside of black swan events. Sees ETFs as trading, not investment, vehicles.

QQQ vs XLK? XLK has a large position in MSFT and AAPL, whereas the QQQ is more diversified. To broaden the exposure he might add KWEB that adds exposure into the Asian marketplace, including BABA. He thinks these holdings will continue to crush things.

BUY

In late-2018, FB kicked off the selling in FANGs. He was happy about that--he picked up cheap stocks. XLK has done very well for him and he's long held it.

An ETF with Microsoft as a major holding? This is the obvious choice. But he cautions over the American market in general in the next few years. Also, the American public has been looking at tech companies with suspicion. Instead of tech, he'd look at banks.

COMMENT
The granddaddy of them all. It's market-cap weighted, so the top 10 holdings amount to around 40-50% of this ETF. Overall, tech is not a bad sector; there is good growth and strong balance sheets. To avoid market-cap weighting, consider RYT: the equal-weight tech index which gives you far broader diversification with the top 10 holding amounting to only 16% of this ETF.

COMMENT

A tech ETF to anchor a portfolio? It's a little late to get into tech; tech has had its run. You're late to the party. KLX could anchor, dominated by Apple and Microsoft, but why not buy Apple instead?

DON'T BUY
It tracks the tech sector in the US. We are late stages and the US market is the most expensive in the world. He would prefer something different – see Top Picks.
