COMMENT
Big banks are starting to report this week. Earnings will probably be positive. Geopolitical risk seems to be ramping up in Iran, Ukraine and Taiwan. In regards to the Fed's, the growth is being induced by the fiscal support. The question is over the next few years, will it be enough to kick start the economy?
COMMENT
Gold. Gold has a flight to safety type movement. However, we are seeing money flowing into digital assets. Gold, traditionally chosen for safety, is being replaced by bitcoin and other cryptos.
BUY
You're looking at 2.5% to 3% yield. Some of the best value is in small cap dividend payers.
COMMENT

ZEB is equal weight where as ZWB is equal weight banks with a covered call overlay. When you think the markets will go sideways or down, covered calls will perform better. However, the covered call gives away some of the upside potential so if you are bullish on growth, forego the covered call.

Manages this fund. The target is to generate a yield in excess of 4%. There is also an aspect of capital preservation. Delivers global yield and protection. This strategy will deliver well over the long run. Very liquid.
COMMENT

They are both identical. ZWP is not currency hedged. ZWE will hedge those currencies. Right now, he would want more exposure to a strengthening Euro than the CAD.

COMMENT

ZZZD gives you exposure to global dividend payers, whereas ZPAY is only US markets. ZZZD has ZPAY in it for the US exposure. ZPAY gives a yield around 6% whereas ZZZD is designed to give 4%.

ZMT is a way to play base metals that will be needed to build everything from bridges to EVs. COPX is a pure play copper play, but it trades in New York.

BUY
The world is moving away from oil, but in the short term, there could be increased demand to supply. If oil is $60-$80, oil stocks are pretty cheap. Likes the sector to trade, but not for the long term. The biggest investors in green energy are these traditional energy companies.

COMMENT
Educational Segment. There are signs for a melt-up bubble. The BoA has released a report saying that there are more funds flowing into the equity markets than in the last 12 years. It is phenomenal. Looking at two indicators today, the first is bull-bear ratio. The S&P 500 sentiment is becoming extreme. At these times, we see corrections of 5%-10%. We are not seeing the same degree of speculation, however. Looking at the Opportunity vs Caution indicator, it is reaching a high caution level. There is froth. Once earnings get priced in, there will be a sell in May. Need to be more defensive in portfolios in the next months. We are seeing traditional late cycle behaviour but the bubble can get bigger and bigger since the Feds will not be cooling the markets.
