March 29: Looks like Joe Biden intends for V. Putin to stay in power indefinitely. This will help drag out the Ukrainian war disaster. Of course, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy still needs to acquire more leverage (i.e., more Russian body bags) for effective negotiations with Putin. All this will take time.

For the time being, the only thing to do is cash in on the opportunity to buy stocks at lower prices. Some growth stocks to consider are: AMR, TH, JWN, PBF, and DCP. Dividend/growth stocks include: BKE, DCP, NGLOY, VALE, VLO, ZIM, and RIO. During the last 3 months, the 5 best ETFs were: FXZ, SPYD, BBCA, FLCA, and SPVU. The status quo will probably prevail until the Fed tries to raise short rates too much and all the yield curves invert (i.e., short-rates greater than longer-rates). The upside to that is that we will get another chance to buy really cheap stocks. In the mean time, good investing!
