Zoetis Inc
An animal health care company that works with pets and livestock. There is over $15 billion in pet spending in the US today. There is not the same price pressure in pet health from insurance companies like in pharma. Getting a drug for a pet is easier and faster than for human use. On the livestock side, developing countries are consuming more protein. Yield 0.59% (Analysts’ price target is $136.14)
Consumer Products
TOP PICK
Stryker Corp.
A medical device company. Elective surgeries have been slowed during the pandemic, but will still need to done. Demographics mean this will continue to grow. There is brand loyalty in the space as parts are not easily exchangeable. About 25% of cash flow goes to dividends and the rest towards acquisitions and paying down debt. Yield 1.31% (Analysts’ price target is $205.63)
biotechnology / pharmaceutical
TOP PICK
Out of a conglomerate of European airline businesses. It is really a tech company that provides IT solutions and global distribution in the travel industry. They can access all the elements of flights, cars, hotels for travel bookings. They have clearly had a hard time during the pandemic, but this will change. They help airports and rail operations with tracking luggage, etc. They recently did a debt issue that will supply sufficient liquidity until at least 2022. They will be stronger post-pandemic. Yield 2.36%

Market. They've made COVID-19 a real political hot potato. The market has not priced in Trump NOT being the president after the election. You should take a more cautious approach in managing your investment portfolio. Be cautious when things are a little illogical.

Negative interest rates. He does not think we will get to negative interest rates. That would be catastrophic. The Fed does not want to see negative interest rates. Interest rates will, however, be glued to zero for some time. In the next couple of years, longer term rates will tend toward zero.

COMMENT
When you have written away the upside to get the higher yield, you give away some of the upside as in ZWC-T. If the market will be sideways then this a good holding.

STRONG BUY

DON'T BUY
Canadian Oil Outlook for Mid-Cap Sector. There is massive political risk because the current government does not support pipelines. Because of climate change, the world is moving more and more away from oil. The next decades will see less and less demand relative to supply. The sector is not investible but probably tradable.

BUY
ETF covering FANG stocks Exclusively? The big six names in tech are 30% of the index. You might go to the stocks directly. You may want to avoid FB-Q for now, for example. Cloud Computing ETFs might be a way to go.

Quantitative Easing vs. Debt Monetization. The difference is time frame. QE is temporary. However he thinks the Fed will never be able to unwind the balance sheet. Debt Monetization is permanent. Essentially they have to print money.

Educational Segment. The Fed's Stress Test. We are in a bear market – we are not in a 'V'. They don't want to tell us what's wrong. He compared the expansion of the Fed balance sheet vs. the SPY-N ETF on a chart. The two run closely and peaked about two weeks ago.
