WEAK BUY

A good way to play Europe's big 50 stocks. But he's only lost money in Europe because of their politics and staunch unions.

DON'T BUY

Any ETF with "high yield" in its name sounds like junk bonds.

COMMENT
A PAST PICK: 12-month T-bills at 5.25%

They just matured. Now at $5.10, but he bought at $5.40 on June 29, 2023. It's hard for retail investors to buy an actual T bill or bond.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 29/23, Up 10%)

(The March 2023 US regional bank meltdown was shocking, and how it happened was stupid.) He sold this recently.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 29/23, Up 26%)

A core position for him. Slightly different than the S&P because it holds slightly more than 500 stocks and occasional dips into mid-caps. Offers diversification.

DON'T BUY

He's been using this to substitute very low interest rates for years. He buys this consistently for years, but recently sold it because with interest rates it's better to buy T bills or ZEB.

DON'T BUY

It holds stocks and more bonds. He bought it originally for conservative accounts, but sold it after 6 months because they didn't perform. The fund sold its winners to rebalance.

BUY

Likes it and uses it often. It's fine as a core holding. AI offers huge growth ahead.

BUY

Cameco makes up 25% of this. He likes this ETF and its sector.

DON'T BUY

Heavily leveraged, so avoid. It's gambling, not investing.

TOP PICK

It's the SP 500, similar to other ETFs like VB. He's neutral the US market in the short term. He uses it as a strategy to minimize capital gains in cash accounts.

TOP PICK

He likes US industrials. XLI has done well but can go higher. The rally in the US is expanding beyond megatech already. Aerospace and defense on drivers, and this holds big names like Raytheon.

TOP PICK

Pays 4.25%, not bad for a risk-free asset. He prefers government to corporate bonds for its lower risk.
