In my July 7 YouTube video: “Quick Pick UUP” I added the Invesco DB U.S. Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP) to my Perfect 5 ETF Portfolio. (To replace the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLP) in that portfolio. More on that in another post today.) Today I’m also going to add this dollar ETF to my Volatility Portfolio and to my Jubak Picks Portfolio. I’m setting a target price of $33.20 in the Jubak Picks Portfolio. You should take the fact that I’m adding a dollar position to three portfolios as an indication of how strongly I feel about a continued strong dollar.

My one-hundred-and-fifty-fifth YouTube video “Quick Pick UUP Dollar ETF” went up today. In my video yesterday (if you missed it, go watch!) I explained why a strong dollar has hit commodity stocks hard, and why I think the dollar will continue to be strong. One strategy I suggested: Investing in an ETF that tracks the dollar. My recommendation here is Invesco Dollar Index Fund (UUP). I’ll be adding it to my ETF Portfolio on my JubakAM.Com subscription site on July 8.

It’s not surprising given the greater than expected decline in U.S. first quarter GDP reported on Wednesday, which followed on the slump in consumer confidence reported Tuesday, that stocks in the consumer staples sector outperformed both consumer discretionary stocks and the market in general. The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLP) gained 0.63% on Wednesday, June 29. By contrast the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLY) lost 0.08%.

Today, Tuesday May 17, China’s top economic official, Vice Premier Liu He, said that the government will support the development of digital economy companies and their public stock listings. The comments delivered after a symposium with the CEOs of some of the country’s largest private technology companies came just a day after the National Bureau of Statistics reported that industrial output fell 2.9% in April from April 2021, and that retail sales contracted 11.1%. Financial markets in China and the United States interpreted the remarks as a public show of support for China’s Internet companies

Back on April 11 when I “trimmed” my bank stock positions in my Jubak Picks Portfolio ( https://jubakam.com/trimming-bank-st…wfc-and-kbwb-etf/) by selling Wells Fargo (WFC) and the Invesco KBWB Bank ETF, I said I’d sell that ETF out of my Perfect 5 ETF Portfolio when I had a replacement ETF to offer. Today I’ve got a replacement to recommend and I’m selling the Invesco Bank ETF out of that portfolio. The replacement is the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLP).

Just want to make sure that no one missed the sell recommendations in yesterday’s Saturday Night Quarterback post. Big banks will kick off another earnings season beginning with JPMorgan Chase (JPM) on Wednesday, April 13. Citigroup (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC) follow on April 14. Bank of America (BAC) reports on April 18. Bank earnings forecasts present a complicated picture for the quarter–which is only appropriate since that’s true of Standard & Poor’s 500 earnings forecasts as a whole.

This week’s Quick Pick is a utilities ETF, XLU. Utilities are a good place to turn to for the next few months before we hit a full recession slowdown. This ETF has a lot going for it, including a strong upward trend, a low expense ratio, and a good yield. As utility companies continue to invest in capacity, they are allowed to increase their rate base, which means revenue will keep going up. I own this ETF in my Perfect 5 ETF Portfolio on JubakAM.com, where it’s been up 43% since 2018.

I expect a continuation of the “disagreement” between domestic Chinese and foreign investors about the risk and direction of China’s stock marketThe two groups see very different worlds when they look at Chinese stocks. China’s domestic investors see a market ready for a big rally from a severe bear market on support from the People’s Bank of China, stock market friendly changes in policy from China’s financial regulators, and promises of fiscal stimulus from the Beijing government. Foreign investors see a the dangers of a confrontation with the United States and the potential for economic sanctions on China

Yesterday, March 15, I was thinking that I wished I didn’t own any China stocks at all. Today, March 16, I wished I owned more. Lot’s more.

In the coming week I expect global stock market action to shift to China. With every other stock market looking almost too risky to invest in, and the recent advice to invest in emerging market stocks, China’s short-term story looks (relatively) very attractiveAt the opening of China’s weekend session of the country’s legislature on Saturday, China’s premier, Li Keqiang, announced that the 2020 growth target for the country’s economy was “around 5.5 percent.”

With the end of the Lunar New Year holiday and the reopening of China’s stock markets, China’s state-backed investment funds have started buying shares of the Chinese stocks traded on U.S. markets. The move follows actions by the People’s Bank of China to inject cash into the economy and financial markets.
