August Stock and Fund Picks

Week 1 -2 (Aug. 1 - 15): There are changes to my personal portfolio from July. Specifically, I'm dropping EPR and CCMNX and adding PHD and BSL. These changes are now reflected in the updated portfolio. Most stock analysts are weak at Open Economy Macroeconomics and tend to look only at the initial static effect on GDP from increased tariffs on China announced for Sept. 1st. This abstract view underestimates the vastness of the negative macroeconomic consequences of Trump's tariffs.…

May Stock and Fund Picks

Week 1 - 2 (May 1 - 10): Trump trade woe's continue.

For those inclined to be in the market consider ARCH for growth; RC and RIO as dividend growth stocks;…

January 2019 Stock and Fund Picks

Week 1 (Jan 1 - 8): It is hard to read the market. The Fed still wants to pair down its balance sheet by letting its bonds expire or to sell them. By not buying or selling US treasury's it will still cause interest rates to rise. Trump still doesn't understand the more efficient allocation effects of specialization and trade so whatever deals he makes will still make us worse off by decreasing production and increasing prices, inflation, and unemployment.…

December Stock and Fund Picks

Week 1 (Dec. 1 - 9): The market is trying to price in the Trump trade protectionism policies.  It has been doing that since January of this year.  The only other politician advocating trade protectionism is Bernie Sanders.  This tells you that such a negative supply-side policy is going to be no good.  Let's hope that Trump comes to an accord with the Chinese and the EU before we have a global recession.  In the meantime, do like that banks…
