I'm currently in "wait-for-dip" mode. Up 7.3% YTD. $46k up. Only buy ETF's with good ratings. XES and XTL are my favorites, right now.
Great, I picked up on some sort of cosmic brainwave I suppose. But you lost me at "stagflation environment" and "the actual \[right\] thing to do right now." You'll sound smarter if you think and talk like that, but meanwhile there are pragmatic people out here just trading whatever the market provides, regardless of what some kind of "environment" or "paradigm" people name it. Did you know that's it's alright to pick stocks and ETFs simply because they're going up? It is. Do you have a 5th grader handy? Explain to them just a little bit about charts and how this "thing" was worth that a year ago, but now it's worth this today. Then show them a chart of a thing that's maybe flat or even going down a bit, but that "should" go up "when the current macroenvironment is fully priced into the market," or whatever other esoteric things the pundits say. Tell them that their allowance will be put into one of those "things," and that at the end of a month they can pick a new "thing" if they want. See which chart they pick. That's momentum-investing of course ("performance chasing" if you're less diplomatic), but it works as well as any other method out there. Do this for me when you have time: go to [Barchart.com](http://Barchart.com) and find their ETF Screener. De-select all the leveraged ones. You can keep the 1x inverse ones. Add the filter Has Options. You should get about 1280 of them. Change the view from Filter View to Performance. Sort by 3M %Chg. Scroll down until you get to the ones that have 'only' done about 30% over the past 3 months (that's 120% apy, remember). Start shopping there. At the top right of the list, click on "flipcharts." Change the Template to Line. Leave the duration at 6M. Across the top, scroll over to XME. 30.8% over the last quarter, and I'm in it, so I have no qualms recommending it. Grab your 5th-grader and start flipping through charts. XME is good in my opinion, but ask your 5th-grader. 4 later, XTL is good. RING is good. ECNS, XSD, CHAT, SIXG, METV, PIE, MAGS, etc. As you're going through, don't even look at the names; just look at the price action and figure out what that's telling you. And *don't* overlay any market sentiments you may have. And *especially* don't let your/our primitive primate brain tell you that "they've gone up too fast so they HAVE to go down soon." They don't. Really try to overcome that; I think it's the biggest obstacle people have to getting into good stocks. It's why people have been sitting on the sidelines for 5 years with Nvidia, for example, waiting for it to be "properly valued" or some such drivel. The price action tells you all you need to know. Believe in it.
Ok. Also: "EATV" is a "VegTech Plant-based Innovation & Climate ETF". As long as Roth don't tax profits, then dividend prone stocks, like the REITS I mentioned, n some others, go better there than do non dividend stocks. But ETfs (mainly VEGN, possibly XLK, XTL, GLDM) seem to be best wherever. But avoid panic from market fluctuations. Last I checked, VEGN is basically the SP500, but without immoral stuff like animal exploitation, pollution, sweatshops etc. n has outperformed the SP500 since VEGN listed. It has more tech than SP500, but less than Nasdaq 100. the following (probably a bit outdated now) vid's graphics helped inspire me on how to add to VEGN [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlEVvJfP6no&t=49s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlEVvJfP6no&t=49s) Click the sub n bell icons on [youtube.com/Playitalready](http://youtube.com/Playitalready) for (in the distant future) non fiction vids, including meatless etc. foods, n maybe update me on your investin.
In recent weeks n months, I looked up a bunch of ETFs' holdings on [crueltyfreeinvesting.org](http://crueltyfreeinvesting.org) n noticed it's hard to find some with 0 stocks that exploit animals in some way, but, \-A home builder ETF only had 2 stocks showing animal exploitation (1 was probably Kohls or Home Depot, seemingly because they sold some pest control thing n had some gloves made from animal(s), or something). \-XLK only had 1 (stock HPE for animal testing for their printer ink, but yahoo says they dont exploit animals, n some gold member on some site said the "animal testing" was actually tests on bacteria or a germ or something, n some site says they help wildlife via using some tech tracking, or something). \-XTL had 0 animal exploitation. \-GLDM is a gold ETV or something, so I assume it doesn't exploit animals. \-Gladstone Land is a REIT for farmland n drinking water. \-WP Carey is a large, diversified Industrial REIT that currently looks cheap n safe. Always double check what people, including me, say, for errors, n for outdated info. Does this help?
Renewable diesel would be my bet - also called XTL or HVO. It burns cleaner, has tiny lifetime CO2 emissions, can be stored for 10+ years and is compatible with existing diesel engines. Google is [already switching to renewable diesel](https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/google-emissions-jump-48-in-five-years-due-to-ai-data-center-boom/) for it's data centers. Just buy NESTE.
I don't know what weight you put each sector ETF, but assuming they're equal weighted, they do [worse than the S&P 500.](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&timePeriod=4&startYear=1985&firstMonth=1&endYear=2021&lastMonth=12&calendarAligned=true&includeYTD=false&initialAmount=10000&annualOperation=0&annualAdjustment=0&inflationAdjusted=true&annualPercentage=0.0&frequency=4&rebalanceType=3&absoluteDeviation=5.0&relativeDeviation=25.0&reinvestDividends=true&showYield=false&showFactors=false&factorModel=3&benchmark=VFINX&portfolioNames=false&portfolioName1=Portfolio+1&portfolioName2=Portfolio+2&portfolioName3=Portfolio+3&symbol1=XLF&allocation1_1=20&symbol2=XME&allocation2_1=20&symbol3=XLI&allocation3_1=20&symbol4=XLE&allocation4_1=20&symbol5=XTL&allocation5_1=20) Your sector portfolio produced $23,902. S&P 500 over the same timeframe produced $39,950. I'd imagine if you weighted each sector ETF in the same weights as the S&P 500 then maybe you would get the same performance if the expense ratio is the same. However, looking at these expense ratios they're as high as 35 basis points while SPY is 9.5 basis points and VOO is 3 basis points. That's going to be a pretty huge drag to replicate the S&P 500. Theoretically if your portfolio is sector weighted then you may have more tax loss harvesting opportunities as you could TLH between different sector pairs on the market. However, even given this opportunity, it's pretty costly for 32 basis points of drag. Fundamentally you'll reach a point of tax loss harvesting where you cannot harvest any more losses and your tax loss harvesting depends on **new contributions.** As long as you're buy and hold and not trading, and plan to sell your shares in early or normal retirement, incurring any tax loss harvesting past $3,000 to offset your ordinary income or capital gains realized in rebalancing a stock and bond portfolio, is pointless. If you want to tax loss harvest a 5% dip that seems to occur often in SPY then you'll need $60,000 of new contributions each year to have an opportunity. If you want to tax loss harvest a more rare 10% correction then you'd need $30,000 of new contributions to taxable each year. So I highly don't recommend running sector ETFs in retirement accounts unless you have some trading strategy that is more profitable than holding SPY. I don't recommend holding them in a taxable account either as 32 basis points is going to cost more in drag than what you'd get back in TLH opportunities in the future.
*Shitpost SuperCom price Target is an absolute abysmal joke $SPCB don't miss this price arbitrage $XTL B is running without me 🤬🤬🤬🤬
