- Mark Yusko of Morgan Creek Capital on CNBC – “Equities are Overvalued and what Mark’s Buying.”
- With same theme as our own thinking, this analyst is buying hated, feared and viewed with contempt, investment opportunities looking for out-sized gains.

- LOTM Thoughts on S&P 500 (SPY)
Mark Yusko is a well-respected asset manager, especially with this writer. In this five minute CNBC clip, Yusko is slowly and in a disciplined manner, exiting over-valued growth equities and rotating to Cash (short term paper), Crypto and Gold. He compares crypto being in the same position as the initial Gold ETF (2004) where in-flows to the Gold ETF (GLD) moved the price of gold higher for five or more years. Mark projects the $58 billion that has entered the Bitcoin ETF world (Mid-January 2024) will expand to more than $3000 billion in the next few years. In doing so, Bitcoin and other future crypto ETFs like Ethereum, will have a constant bid and move upward within a consistent trend. Volatility can be used as an advantage but one must deal with how you react to fear and greed.

KraneShares Analyst, Brendan Ahern discusses the financial opportunities in Emerging Markets. His focus is currently around the Theme that many Emerging Markets are undervalued Vs the USA markets. One of the funds mentioned by Brendan is his company’s ETF – an Emerging Market corporate bond fund paying about 14.9% annual distribution, paid monthly and has upside appreciation potential. This is quoting Brendan. The symbol is KHYB – full name KraneShares Asia Pacific High Income Bond Fund. The price is $24.81. We repeat Brendan is promoting his own bond fund so listen to the presentation and why and also the risks and rewards. This is an interesting idea, but LOTM is not an Investment advisor so do more investigation and be comfortable for your situation. One last suggestion. For a broad based investment portfolio, consider no more than 5% in any one position – especially if looking for dividend or income ideas. They are many attractive income ideas available for consideration.

LOTM: SPY (S&P 500) is Expensive, Losing Internal Momentum with Price still in an uptrend. Internal Momentum is lagging SPY’s price performance. This is a negative. In a healthy market, Internal Indicators would be out-performing Price. In our humble opinion it is a good time to slowly rotating towards cash, 2 to 5 year maturity paper, dividend income, value stocks with low debt, commodities and crypto. Yup, we talking our book. Hopefully that is why you are reading this – to see what we are doing. It has been a great run since October 2022. Probably time to be more conservative in our USA approach and looking more towards outside the USA towards Emerging markets. Note also Volume is declining in the chart below. Also, an unhealthy signal.
Everything I have experienced in the market from 1976 to now, says to me that the large cap tech rally from 2009 to 2021/24 is over. Is that bad for the market? No, It just says that new leadership’s time has arrived.
We expect Commodities to lead, especially gold, silver, copper and grains. It is time for Industrials, Infrstructure companies & Materials part of the S&P 500 to shine and lead. Reshoring and near-shoring require building and up-grades in North America. Value stocks and Emerging Markets are areas we expect to outperform. We expect active money management (stock picking) to out-perform passive money management.
Buying companies, a skill set long forgotten and in short supply, will outperform. It is all very exciting times. It is like… we are returning back to reality.
Good fortunes to all!
