N/A

Markets. Oil prices will be good for consumers as well as business. He is generally bullish on the US economy. The basis of his outlook is always pro-US. You have to look at what is the actual yield. He looks at short term government bonds, mid-term corporate bonds but nothing long term. He also looks at a mixed bag of ETFs. It is a bizarre presidential campaign. It will cause some uncertainty. It is hard to imagine a situation where both are detested by their own parties. All you can do is sit back and wait. If you see a stock you like and it is down, then buy it.

N/A

Options don’t have any intrinsic value, just time value. Options traders want leverage. As an option becomes more in the money it becomes more expensive.

COMMENT

Where you talk about a bear or bull ETF that is levered, they have no future. You are supposed to trade them on a day to day basis or possible a weekly basis. They are guaranteed to lose over the long term because of the way the gains are translated over night. These are a very short term tactic.

COMMENT

India has tried to monetize some of their gold, even some held in temples in India. They just lost their finance minister. The problem is the layers of bureaucracy. He expects great things over the long term. You have to be very patient.

SELL

Call Option Expiry. If you let a call get exercised, you have the stock in your hands, so you should sell the option just before expiry.

DON'T BUY

Exchange Traded Note, vs. An Exchange Traded Fund. He won’t touch an ETN because it is illiquid. He is not interested in that market.

WEAK BUY

It got clobbered a year ago because all the rate reset preferred dropped. Right now they are offering a pretty good yield and they are well diversified. The problem with individual preferreds is the trouble getting rid of them. If he was going to buy a preferred, he would buy this.

DON'T BUY

A Gold ETF, but you can’t ever get the actual gold from it (take delivery of bullion). It is a legitimate concern, but not a realistic one. He only buys Gold ETFs as a trading vehicle.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Aug 07/15, Up 9.05%) You have to be careful about these. Often the price to book is higher than other ETFs. Often you are overpaying for the stocks because they are lower volatility.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Aug 07/15, Up 1.20%) This is a place to park money. It really does not move.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Aug 07/15, Up 5.11%) There are no distributions. All you get is the total return of capital gains. The ETF is based on a swap.

WEAK BUY

It is paying a yield of 7-8% and he would look at it if he was anxious to do Europe. It has held its value rather well despite the turbulence.

BUY

He bought it for a trade and still holds it. He is looking for 20% and then in all likelihood will be out. He thinks it has further to go from here.
