I have quite a few ideas. Some of these are "momentum" plays -- areas that have already started going up and seem to have quite a bright future, the consensus seems. All are ETFs, so as to get in on the action and be diversified but not be overexposed to any one particular stock.
These are, in ticker form:
- EMQQ (or FDNI, basically buying into down but not out Chinese emerging giant Tencent, and also Naspers, Alibaba, etc.).
- QCLN or ICLN or ACES (green energy stock: these were great performers last year, and with trade deal maybe wrapping up this year, they're going to keep rising, I think; it's diversified and captures what will be or already are big players in this space)
- BBC or BTEC or ARKG (these are all clinical trial/genomic/biotech ETFs; all have been doing quite well actually, and are worth betting on IMO)
- IRBO, BOTZ, ROBO (these are all somewhat overlapping robotics ETFs)
- ESPO and HERO (video game and esports: an emerging industry)
Then there are older plays. I'm putting some money in the long term HEDGEFUNDIE strategy. I have faith in the market for at least this year, given Trump and his infatuation for stock prices. This would be 60% TMF/40% UPRO. I also have small amounts in PALL (palladium and platinum fund) and gold through PHYS.
I've also bought into GBTC in case of another major BTC rally (who knows), and SPCE (again, who knows). I also have some NOK and ACB stock I got from free trade promotions (lol); sold the ACB and bought MJ with proceeds (MJ ETF -- it's bottomed out but there's definitely money to be made in that industry...someday). NOK has already risen 10% since I bought into it, on 5G speculation, I think.
No to oil. It's not the future.
