Hello, everybody, welcome to Thursday, the S&P 500 was up .4%. Today, good broad move today all together and lots of things were up the money starting to kind of flow into the market. It’s been kind of exciting all together. And I wanted to take today’s video to talk about a question that came in just to, you know, what are the categories that look like they would benefit the most from the reopening? And then what are some of the stocks that are in that category that might do well there too. And so what I’m going to do is show you the categories and then the stocks that we actually own. In our model. Right now there’s over 800 stocks in the model altogether. And I’ll show you a few of them in some of these categories. And so I’ll just share my screen here. And what I’ve done is just kind of made a list.
And so the top of the list here, we got the category, so travel obviously should benefit from the reopening. And then these are all the different stocks, you know, that are either you know, Air B&B, or airlines like Alaska or Agilent, Travel Allegiant, sorry, American Airlines, Avis rental cars, booking companies like bookings and TripAdvisor, all of these pieces are probably going to be in line for some gains coming forward. And then movies. So AMC, and Cinemark, and Lyons and Regis Corp are all I think solid plays in this area.
Now automobiles should see some good gains here, as people have been buying new and used cars, just to kind of get ready to be able to get out and move and maybe not want to get inside of an airplane or get inside of a bus and those types of things. So use cars with Auto Nation Carmax tire companies for general Goodyear, these are all companies that I think are going to benefit from this that are in our current portfolio, banking and investing banking does well when interest rates go up. And investing does well when the market goes up. Both of those things are happening at this point.
So you know, Bank of America Bank, New York City Bank, etc. JP Morgan, Invesco, which is one of the investment companies, you know, Raymond James, US, Waddell and Reed etc. So these are all I think, solid, you know, companies that fit inside of this category that should do well here that are in our portfolios, and of course, restaurants. You know, I think there’s gonna be a pretty big demand for restaurants. So many restaurants have closed nationwide. And so the ones that are left that can survive this whole thing. They might be just really doing well. So you know, BJ’s, Cheesecake Factory, Chipotle, Coca Cola you know, supplies restaurants, Dave and Busters, Sysco is a big Restaurant Supply Company so there’s so is a Chef’s Warehouse, etc. So these are all companies that I think should benefit from the reopening that are in our current portfolio.
So energy you know, as we start to move around more it uses energy, renewable energy like clean energy and renewable energy group so are going to do well but that’s sort of a future energy source more than anything current energy storage is still oil and gas and so I do think that’d be a big pick up there as you can see, you know, Chevron and Exxon and what have you that are in this portfolio as a whole health care we should see some increase in health care as people go in to take care of things that they delayed taking care of even just basic health care issues and different appointments and such that should start to really go we might see some good gains here and Cardinal and Tenet I think are two good pieces to look at and then large events as they come back so these are in the portfolio Churchill Downs, EvanBright which is a company for scheduling events Live Nation for buying tickets, Madison Square Garden, Manchester United Soccer Team, of course Walt Disney, you know all of these should do well as things reopen a clothing and makeup you know, we’re gonna go back to work in some form or fashion and then go out so you know, we might be looking at you know, more of those.
So designer brands e.l.f., footlocker, Gap, Macy’s Sally Beauty, Vera, you know, Bradley, so these are, you know, all pieces that I think could benefit again, they’re in the current portfolio infrastructure. And I think this is a dual play, both areas that we should see some growth in as these projects come through. And then obviously, there’s this infrastructure bill that might get through some point this year. So Granite, Nucor steel, United States Steel and US Concrete are all in the portfolio, I think, you know, and they’re all doing pretty well right now, actually, altogether year to date.
And then lastly, is transportation. I’ve talked about this before, but moving people and moving things as things pick up here. So, you know, trucking companies, Kansas Southern, there’s a rail company, Lyft. And Uber should pick up here quite a bit, and etc. So this is kind of what I see as the categories and some of the stocks that I think could do quite well here all together. And, you know, we’re positioned, we’re waiting for this recovery to come in and this reopening to happen, and you want to be in some of these stocks, because I think what’s going to happen is they’re going to exceed their earnings expectations, and a lot of those particular cases, especially since a lot of them cut back on their costs, and I think this demand is going to come in pretty quickly. So anyway, that’s what’s happening today. Looking forward to talking to you tomorrow.
