TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate XLP as a defensive holding. The ETF focuses on Consumer Staples monsters like PG, KO, PEP and WMT. We also like the dividend yield for being paid to hold your cash. We recommend trailing up the stop to $65. Yield 2.48%

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Many are worried that rates will rise but he doesn't expect them to in the near-term so XLP.

E.T.F.'s

TOP PICK

Not an exciting sector, but this is the time of year it tends to do well, especially if the market's getting a little softer. In March, the sector outperformed the market. It is expensive at 21.5 PE, but investors are willing to pay up when they're concerned about market valuations. Yield is 2.52%.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly XLP is a defensive holding ETF that focuses on Consumer Staples monsters like PG, KO, PEP and WMT. We also like the dividend yield for being paid to hold your cash. We don't typically put a stop loss on a broad-based, defensive holding, but we will recommend $63.50. Any breakdown below this might be a signal of further downward corrections in the market overall. Yield 2.51%

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 07/20, Up 12%) Strongly outperformed the broad market starting late February. It was a pandemic trade. From late March to early June, it gave it all back. We've seen a baseline, and now it's starting to outperform again. August and September are dangerous times for the market, so this is a favourable trade right now.

E.T.F.'s

TOP PICK

Everyone is rushing into tech but if things turn down, it will be hit quite hard. Seasonally it is weak starting in June. He would flick the switch to consumer staples right now.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 06/18, Up 14%) Hit new all-time high this week. Protypically recession resilient. Boring, but should perform well in a maturing economy.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 03/19, Up 2%) It is usually seasonal from April to October. It was defensive. It looks like it might turn down a little. He still holds it at this time.

E.T.F.'s

TOP PICK

Late-April to October is a defensive way to play consumer staples. Expect a break-out coming in this space and XLP. Now, it's a little weak as it enter seasonal strength. XLP is a way to take off some risk in a portfolio by starting to get more defensive.

E.T.F.'s

TOP PICK

Expense ratio is 13 basis points. This is a defensive space. Basket of consumer staples. Late in the cycle, you still need tooth paste, you still need the toilet paper, your groceries. Low beta. He is 17-18% in the defensive space but that is climbing.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick, July 9, 2018, Up4%) Just sold it. It was a summer play. Perhaps a little undervalued. It's been stuck. Range is $50-55. Staples (i.e. groceries) do well in summer, but less so in the winter. Why? There's a rotation into defensive stocks after summer as riskier stocks, like the FANGs, get choppy.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 1/18, Up 5%) It is a contrarian play this summer. It was so over sold that he felt it could get back to $55. You might get a total of 10% this summer and are up 5 so far.

E.T.F.'s

TOP PICK

It is a summer play and often is. The sector broke down quite a bit. It is a trade and will get into the $55 area. It is a bit of a contrarian play. It is bouncing off the oversold level. You don't want to be involved in it for too long. It is not in an uptrend. The sector itself has its own challenges and so he will likely be in it only until October or November.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 2/18 Down 3%) This has been the contrarian sector and he thinks it is due for an overdue bounce. The sector is oversold and he thinks he will get back to even.

E.T.F.'s

TOP PICK

It's been a dog in his portfolio, but he will give it one last chance, hoping for a rebound. Thinks it's been oversold.
