  Uranium ETF $URA Check out the Uranium ETF $URA: URA completed  a multi-year base  in April 2021. It has since found support at a former resistance level marked by its prior cycle highs from 2017. Uranium is a play that the energy transition needs more energy than renewables can provide.

  Liberty All-Star Equity Fund (USA),  a 9.9%-yielding fund which has been a long-time Apple holder, alongside  Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Visa (V)  and  Alphabet (GOOGL).  This fund is a good replacement for your low-yielding index fund, since its focus on large-cap American firms has been both a source of stability and strong profits for literally decades.

 BSEA ETFMG Breakwave Sea Decarbonization Tech ETF The ETFMG Breakwave Sea Decarbonization Tech ETF (BSEA) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Marine Money Decarbonization Index. The Index is designed to reflect the performance of companies involved in developing and commercializing these technologies that could benefit significantly from the growth of new sector initiatives aiming to reduce the environmental impact of the global maritime sector, which counts more than 100,000 vessels. The Marine Money Decarbonization Index (MMDI or the “Index”) tracks the performance of the equity securities of a diversified set of global companies that develop technologies, manufacture equipment or provide services related to marine or ocean decarbonization. These companies are involved in cleaner propulsion (including alternative fuels, batteries, and fuel cells), carbon capture technologies and offshore w

iShares UK Property UCITS ETF GBP DIST (LSE: IUKP)  The one I’ve been looking at is  iShares UK Property UCITS ETF GBP DIST  ( LSE: IUKP ). This ETF aims to provide diversified exposure to UK real estate by tracking the  FTSE EPRA/Nareit UK Index . The index is designed to track the performance of real estate companies and real estate investment trusts (REITs) listed on the  London Stock Exchange .  It’s a decent size, with over £600m in assets, has a relatively low ongoing charge, and has been going since 2007. No wonder it’s one of the most popular ETFs for UK investors. The fund is also well-diversified, holding the 40 companies listed in the index. These operate in a wide variety of sectors including industrial, residential, and healthcare.  Out of the 40 firms, the largest holding is  Segro  at just over 20%. This specialises in out-of-town business space and is one of the biggest industrial property companies in Europe. Well-known names such as  Land Securities Group  and  Britis

 Intersting ETFs NOPE - Noble Absolute Return ETF The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by purchasing long positions in securities expected to increase in price and/or taking short positions in securities expected to decline in price. The Fund will generally have net exposure ranging from 100% short to 150% long. When the value of the Fund’s outstanding short positions is equal to the Fund’s net assets, the Fund is 100% short. The Fund’s net exposure at any time is the total of the Fund’s percentage long holdings (including leverage) less the percentage of its short holdings. For example, if the Fund’s long holdings totaled 60% and its short holdings totaled 40%, the Fund’s net exposure would be 20% (60%-40%).  KSET -  KraneShares Global Carbon Offset Strategy ETF KSET tracks the S&P GSCI Global Voluntary Carbon Liquidity Weighted Index, which provides broad coverage of the voluntary carbon market by tracking car

iShares Russell 2000 Fund (IWM) Look like we will have lower low or a test of a trend line.  Not yet a buy and hold. Let's compare the MTUM chart above with another favorite of mine, the iShares Russell 2000 Fund (IWM). This fund is a way to track U.S. small-cap stocks... From the high, I used three trend lines instead of two. You can measure from the absolute high and important swing highs as the market trends lower. If you follow the trends down, you'll see how the bottom two trend lines marked important swing highs for IWM. The takeaway is that you shouldn't just rely on one trend line – you have to use several to get a better idea of where resistance will be within a downtrend. Like MTUM, IWM is in a downtrend that's marked by lower highs... It made a lower low last week and is still below its 200-DMA.

  iShares MSCI USA Momentum Factor Fund (MTUM) Looks like a bottom is in, but need to wait for the 200 DMA to be lower than the share price. Take a look at the iShares MSCI USA Momentum Factor Fund (MTUM). This fund tracks an index of large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks that show relatively higher price momentum. Right now, it's telling me the downtrend in stocks is intact... The black dashed lines from the highs mark the series of lower lows and lower highs. Yes, in late March, this fund broke the downtrend. But this was a false breakout... and really, it was a trap for bulls. After that failed rally, MTUM made a   new low   earlier this month. Also note that MTUM couldn't muster up enough energy to rally above the important 200-day moving average (200-DMA) in red. This was a warning of continued weakness. So, using trend-line analysis on this fund gave us a bearish signal. But as I often tell my subscribers, you can't just look at one market, like the S&P 500 Index, and th

Hypatia Women CEO ETF WCEO ETF A new Exchange Traded Fund is taking the next step with gender diversity investing. The   Hypatia Women CEO ETF (WCEO)   is the first ETF to focus strictly on women-run companies. The only two requirements for a company be owned in WCEO are that it has a market cap of at least $500 million and a woman runs the company, either from the CEO or Chairperson position. WCEO will have at least 80% of its assets in US companies that female Chief Executive Officers lead. Furthermore, the fund may invest up to 20% of holdings in US companies with an Executive Chairperson or a Chairperson who is female. WCEO is a one-of-a-kind ETF, but it does have some competition if an investor is looking for a woman-focused ETF. This is a good alternative investment due to the fact that women running businesses are not aggressive, do not make short-term actions and are better at ESG decisions. I feel WCEO is a good buy because, over the last few years, we have continued to get mo

  The   Vanguard Value ETF (VTV)   is a low-cost flagship for value investing. With a spread of more than 300 holdings, this exchange-traded fund offers a simple way to employ a value investing strategy without having to carefully select individual holdings. VTV covers a broad segment of the market and invests in all the big names in value standbys, thus creating a convenient investment vehicle that doesn’t rely too strongly on individual company performance.   By value investing, this means that the stocks and companies included in this fund generally have lower prices as compared to their book value than others. This is often because they are expected to see less growth in their bottom line, but it also can indicate that their prices are too low and should rise.

ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF   ( HACK ) The   ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF   ( HACK )   has slumped 28.27% from Jan. 2022 to the present, though it has shown some signs of life over the past two months. After hitting a new low for 2022 on Oct. 13, HACK bounced 14% (which outpaced NASDAQ’s 9% bounce in that same time). It hit resistance at about $47.50 on Dec. 1 but seems to have found some support around $42.60. This chart, like many stocks as of late, doesn’t look so hot. But check out HACK’s past three years… That tells a somewhat different story. You can see where cybersecurity stocks were headed before inflation, bond yields, and interest rates dragged on the market this year. But the underlying trend hasn’t changed. The odds that cyber threats will decrease in the coming years are, to quote Muhammed Ali, “Slim, and none. And Slim just left town.” HACK and cybersecurity stocks are likely to return to previous highs and then some.

  t’s one of the oldest pearls of wisdom on Wall Street, and for good reason. You see, often the sectors that have been bloodied the most one year are the ones that come back the strongest the next year. So, with this bloody notion in mind, I present to you the   Communication Services Select Sector SPDR (NYSEARCA: XLC) .   XLC tracks a market-cap-weighted index of US telecommunication and media & entertainment components of the S&P 500 index. The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Communication Services Select Sector Index.   It seeks to provide an effective representation of the communication services sector of the S&P 500 Index and to provide precise exposure to companies from telecommunication services, media, entertainment and interactive media and services. It also allows investors to take strategic or tactical positions at a more targe

  ENERGY SELECT SECTOR SPDR ETF ( XLE ) The clear winner of 2022 was the energy sector. While inflation rose, prices followed, and in particular… the cost of energy. Oil and natural gas stocks pushed higher than the rest of the market leading to the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) to post an over 40% gain throughout 2022. The question after this kind of performance then becomes, how will energy perform in 2023? The only way to find out is to watch how the market and global economy unfold over the next year. Regardless, the prior year’s performance has this sector high on everyone’s list to see if the energy can post a repeat. HEALTH CARE SELECT SECTOR SPDR ETF ( XLV ) Another one of the best performing ETFs of last year was the Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLV). Healthcare has traditionally done well in highly inflationary, or recessionary type environments as there is an ongoing need for healthcare, regardless of economic climate. This coupled with the renewed interest in m
