My portfolio on marketGOATS is 100% ETFs (VTI, VTV, CNYA, TQQQ) - and it's not doing terribly against mostly stock pickers.

You all need CNYA. I’m up 34% since dump tweeted to buy
Hey there, I see this all the time and sometimes comment on it: the old "missed out while I was waiting on a magical entry point" dilemma. You won't like this much, but what if you just looked at charts, saw they were going up, and wanted to get in on some of that action? Like literally, "That chart is going up, why don't I buy some of that?" Performance-chasing, momentum investing, trend-following, whatever you want to call it, [momentum in equities persists](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0927538X18303998?via%3Dihub#preview-section-references). But it actually works better with ETFs, being baskets of stocks in the same market or sector or whatever. And you named one of them, KWEB. Some others with options are ASHR, CNYA, CHIQ, ECNS, FXI, GXC, & MCHI. What I would do is plot 3 of those against each other and pick the 'best' one based on the price action. Plot 3 more, pick 1. Then the last 2, pick 1. That gives you 3 'best' of their group. Maybe plot those 3 against each other and pick the 'very' best one. Or probably better: invest in all 3. And if you think ETFs are boring, figure out the leverage that a 1-year, 80-delta Call on any of those tickers gives you. And don't wait for "an entry point," other than maybe a down day; but when you have cash, deploy it. Don't you wish now you'd just jumped into any of the tickers you named when they first came to your attention? Good luck!
Well, you're looking for stocks around $10, so start there. Stay above 5, because there's mostly trash below 5 (and exclude OTC stocks), but then as high as you can go. Let's say $8-12. Stocks that pay a dividend are typically more-stable companies. And of course you need it to have options. There are about a hundred in that view. Ford is in there at $11.77. From there you might select the Performance view, and then maybe click on the 3-month header to sort high-to-low 3m performance. I like to stay on the Put side of the Wheel, so I'm looking for stocks that are going up, or at least flat. Once you set up your screen, the Flipcharts feature at the upper-right of the list will help you quickly flip through charts (change the chart style to Line; the timeframe defaults to 6m, but you might change it to 1y for a more holistic view). Then I look for charts that are 1) smooth-ish, 2) going up. That's admittedly qualitative, but you'll know it when you see it. For example, look at the 6-month charts of the ETFs **CNYA** and **XSD**. (And btw, that's a subtle hint that you should start with ETFs and not stocks. Some pay well enough outright, but all pay well if you do them in a margin account where your CSPs enjoy much-reduced Buying Power reductions.) Now, I haven't told you to rush out and do the Wheel on all those tickers. I've just given you a way to help find candidates. Now you do the legwork of finding out if the option premiums are high enough for you. And notice I didn't suggest you filter by IV: that's not a good way to do it. ***Pick the underlying first,*** then decide how you want to make money on it. I didn't mention RSI either, but you can certainly play with that. And there are filters for "Last x-day/month price change," both by dollars and percent, and you can mess with those if you want. And in the Technical view, BC even gives an Opinion column, with Buy/Sell ratings, so you might take those into account. In the end, I just brute force it: stocks or ETFs, price range, sort by recent x-month performance, then flip through charts. That might be 50-100, but they go fast. *Don't overthink that part!* If you have a 5th-grader around, explain price action a little bit, and that their allowance will be in one of these tickers, then ask them which charts look "good." Have fun!
I bought CNYA at the top... AMA
I like your thinking of getting in while it's down. It's called "Buy Low, Sell High" right? I found some information on ETF Database (https://etfdb.com/etfs/country/china/). Doing some quick research, it seems KBA has a good total return. It gets 4 stars on Morningstar, but it's overall return was probably affected by their $12.30 dividend in December of '22, which was out of place for their 5 year average annual dividend of around $1.23. CBON comes in 2nd on my list for 5 year total return. The ETF gets 5 stars on Morningstar. It also sends a more consistent dividend. It, however, is an ETF for Chinese Bonds. Coming in 3rd on my list for 5 year total return in CHIQ, getting 2 stars on Morningstar. CNYA arrived in 4th place on my list for 5 year total return. It does indeed invest in Chinese equities. It gets 5 stars on Morningstar. It pays a relatively consistent twice yearly dividend. MCHI actually comes in 14th place (based on total return) on my list of 25 ETF's, also only getting two stars on Morningstar. If I had to make a recommendation, I'd recommend CNYA, but I am not a financial advisor and investing has risks. ;-)
Here's a ETF that tracks the Chink market. $CNYA
CNYA seems extremely heavy on banks, which are basically tools of the state. Other holdings include industrials and insurance companies. That doesn't seem like a strong long-term growth play to me. Other China ETFs (like Kraneshares) are way too dominated by the BATS stocks, which are under the microscope of the government. You might want to consider something like Matthews China Small Companies Fund (MCSMX), I realize it's an actively managed fund, but active management can make a huge difference in China and EMs. Compare MCSMX to CNYA 5 year chart to show you that the management fee was easily worth it.
PGJ is better than CNYA in my opinion... PJG is more tech focused (although most of the tech companies are considered "consumer cyclical") while CNYA is heavier in financials, which I think will do fine, but IMO Chinese tech will see the highest growth worldwide in the next 1-3 years.
I'll say it's very high risk and high reward, but not nearly high enough reward for me. I was looking at ERUS and other Russian stocks/etfs even before the invasion. Couldn't bring myself to buy it then or now. * You'll have to realize high dividends don't usually stay high and are high for a reason. Look at T the last 10/20/30 years. There is a ton of shit right now that is down with a high dividend MORT is paying >10% * You'll also have to factor in that the ERUS works in the Russian ruble. Have you seen that devalue against your local currency? WTF do you think happens to the earnings there? If you want foreign exposure then you can buy EWZ because it also "Heavily weighed towards resources and energy" that is down except the west isn't looking to gangbang it and Brazil is playing both the West and China/Russia against each other for their own profit. They'll even check your box of a corrupt government run by a strongman and oligarchs who give 0 shits about their peopoe. * That's before sanctions. Trump literally cut China mobile, China telecom, and a bunch other Chinese telecoms before he stepped down. They also paid "a nice juicy dividend", but then their shares cratered. Then US investors were banned from buying/holding them. I'm not even allowed to buy/hold the HK listed shares. What did Trump do that for? LITERALLY NO REASON. Do you think Biden will do less when Russia is literally invading countries and starting war? If you want foreign risk where you can get banned/sanctioned/tradebarred/etcetc then you can just buy China. Their shit is already down >50% and unlike Russia they are actually important in the global economy and can walk it back. * But I'm safe because it's not an individual stock but an ETF!!!!! Just means you'll get extra exposure. Even if you can hold. You're holding companies that will be getting sanctioned from all sides, in a currency that will be dropping against your own, in a country that is going into economic decline with no real offers beside nat resources that it can only sell to China who isn't so much their buddy as someone who will take advantage of Russia's resources WHEN ON SALE, etcetc. If you want ETF there are China ones: KWEB, CNYA, MCHI, FXI, etcetc. TL;DR You do you. I'm no touching Russia. Especially now. The risk isn't worth it when everything is on fucking sale already.
MCHI, GXC, ASHR, CNYA, etc. There's a list here on https://etfdb.com/index/ftse-china-50-index/
Hi everybody, I'm pretty fresh in the investing area. I'm mostly focused on long-term etfs but also enjoy short-term speculation on stocks. To the point:My ETF wallet curretly looks like that: 1. iShares $ TIPS UCITS ETF USD (Acc, EUR) - current market value 488.25 PLN (+3.13% profit) 2. iShares Physical Gold ETC (Acc, USD) - current market value 1816.38 PLN (+3.04% profit) 3. iShares S&P 500 Information Technologdy Sector UCITS ETF (ACC, USD) - current market value 664.39 PLN (+19.18% profit) 4. iShares USD TIPS UCITS ETF (ACC, USD) - current market value 2036.94 PLN (+4.30% profit) I have those numbers in PLN because I just want to give you quick overview about how many % of my funds each of those etf contains - if it is a problem please let me know so I will convert it to USD or EUR. Actually I have some money which I would like to invest (about 500-1000 USD) and I'm not so sure about it. The physical gold ETF is pretty volatile so I'd rather not investing anymore in it. S&P 500 IT had pretty nice increase, but it still risky etf in my humble opinion. I have few ideas about new ETFs to pucharse: CSPX.UK - IShares Core S&P UCITS ETF (Acc USD) - I know it's pretty similar to my 3rd ETF, but since its focused not only on the IT it seems to be mediocre in term of risks. CNYA.DE IShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF USD (Acc, EUR) - I always though investing in China would be good idea to diversify my porfolio but nowadays there were many weird things and scandals retaled to china so I'm no so sure anymore. XBAS.DE XTrackers MSCI Signapore UCITS ETF (Acc, EUR) - similar to China, but Signapore had been always on top of the IT world related to their engineers class. I'm also considering investing to Emering markets etfs like AMEM.DE but those aren't looking very promising right now. Do you have maybe another (better) ideas? Every answer would be greatly appreciate! Thank you!
I think we are in for a bull run in some beat down chinese stocks, as China got Covid behind them already and are growing as strong as ever while stock prices are supressed beacuse of fears. Here is what I got and plan to keep buying: $BABA; $BIDU; $MSCI; $CNYA; $EH; $BYDDF
I think 9-10 stocks is good enough for diversification, but 50% in only two companies is rather aggressive unless their returns are negatively correlated then one can hedge the other. I’d suggest you also add some SP500 ETF like SPY or VOO, or even an international ETF like CNYA
