Is investing in an ETF a good strategy to gain broad exposure to early stage trends?

By InvestorPlace Research Staff

ETFs – or exchange-traded funds – have exploded in popularity in recent years. They’re easy to invest in, give you instant diversification, and can be highly focused.

Diversification is smart. It’s very important to not put too much of your money in any one stock. At the same time, you don’t want to put your money in bad stocks – and that’s what can happen with an ETF. You are forced to buy every single stock in that ETF. And at that point, it becomes over-diversification. You’re stuck owning all of the laggards that will inevitably weigh on your returns.

In my new MoneyLine podcast today, I take a look at two big hedge funds and tell you a few of the stocks they’ve been buying.

The Talking Heads Are Wrong… THIS Is the Best Way to Invest in 5G

By InvestorPlace Research Staff
The Roaring 2020s are underway, and one of the foundational technologies enabling the breakthrough innovations is 5G. I suspect you’ve heard a lot about the next generation of wireless technology… but do you know the best way to invest in the trend? Most people don’t. And you may be surprised at the answer. In today’s new episode of MoneyLine, I share my thoughts on positioning yourself for long-term gains in this hypergrowth trend. It’s not by investing in the companies building out the new technology. It’s by taking a stake in the companies setting up shop along the 5G “superhighway.” Think owning a piece of Netflix (NFLX) a decade ago!

Find Out What Took Place During our Exclusive Research Meeting

By InvestorPlace Research Staff
It shouldn’t surprise you that I’m a big fan of the show Billions on Showtime. If you are, too, you might remember a scene from the first episode of Season 3 in which there’s a meeting in a private dining room of a New York City high-end restaurant called Del Posto. The gathering was an “idea meeting” with some of the biggest players in the hedge fund world. In the screenshot below, you can see Taylor (one of the smart people in the series) standing up to pitch their next big idea. Here at InvestorPlace, we have similar meetings between analysts, editors, and research teams on a fairly regular basis. Pre-COVID they were in person… typically in a conference room in the office.

For the First Time… Here’s Your Chance to View My Personal Watch List

By InvestorPlace Research Staff
It’s hard to believe that just five months ago stocks fell into a bear market faster than any other time in history. But just this week, tech stocks rallied to all-time highs, led by some of the biggest names in the industry. Companies ranging from Apple (AAPL) to Facebook (FB) hit record levels while the Nasdaq pushed above 11,000 for the first time in history. I dive into all the details in today’s new episode of MoneyLine. While the market gave back some of its gains today, stocks remain the best game in town. Or maybe I should say “one of the best” games in town. Did you catch my debate with legendary growth investor Louis Navellier on Wednesday? Both of us are extremely bullish on stocks right now.
