This week, I’m watching an ETF in the mining space. For the past year, it’s been basing after breaking out of a multi-year resistance point. I believe we could see nice upside in it within the next few months. As the markets as a whole are in turmoil… mining stocks are an interesting place to […]
Electric vehicle stocks, like NIO (NIO), could accelerate well into 2022, for three very important reasons. First, governments all over the world are racing to reduce carbon emissions. In fact, the U.S. just pledged to reduce emissions by as much as 52% over the next several years. Europe wants to cut CO2 emissions by up […]
When someone says electric vehicles (EVs), many people immediately think of Tesla (TSLA). But from an investment viewpoint, there’s a lot more to the industry than just one company. My favored EV subsector is the supply chain. Without batteries, there is no EV industry. And without the necessary raw materials, there would be no batteries. […]

The expected rate increases from the Fed in 2022 mean that banks could see greater profitability from their interest rate spreads. This is leading to expectations of strong guidance from banks during earnings season. One strategist is using a covered call […]
Dear Investor, The Fed has said it will finally hike interest rates this year. As rates rise, business development companies (BDCs) are a type of income stock that should perform especially well. However, the uncertainties from inflation, omicron, and a waffling Federal Reserve will likely make for a bumpy ride over the next six-to-nine months. […]
Many tech stocks are still being decimated with many down 50%+ from highs. Logically, you’d think “stay away from all tech.” And that may be true in a general sense. However, I’m looking at one specific sector right now that is still set to boom in 2022 based on the charts (and fundamentals) I’m watching. […]
