Trade Ideas
Software overselling has likely bottomed.
Overselling in the software sector is overdone due to AI fears; some companies will survive because liability creates a moat, and the sector has likely bottomed. Selective opportunities exist.
Private credit public equity plays bottoming.
BDCs and private credit public equities have been dragged down by lending to software, but the selloff is an overreaction. The sector has likely bottomed and presents an investment opportunity.
Banks and financials are oversold plays.
Banks and financials have experienced the most selling pressure and are oversold. They are likely to rebound as deregulation and money supply expansion provide a tailwind.
Long duration treasuries benefit from disinflation.
AI is disinflationary or deflationary, which should push long-term yields lower. Long duration Treasuries also serve as a safe haven if geopolitical tensions escalate. This is both a tactical and longer-term investment opportunity.
Gold momentum broken, not bullish.
Gold has become a momentum trade and that momentum appears broken. While war could spike it, the outlook is lower. He expects gold to probably be down by year-end.
Emerging markets benefit from dollar weakness.
The dollar's momentum is on the downside, while emerging markets are seeing real upside momentum. Money supply expansion, commodity demand from AI/robotics, and secular underperformance relative to the S&P all support a long-term shift toward emerging markets.
Deregulation themes are real opportunity.
Deregulation across cannabis, psychedelics, crypto, and nuclear will unleash growth. The Free Markets ETF (FMKT) is designed to invest in companies benefiting from this deregulation theme.
