Well, hello, everybody, welcome to Friday, the S&P 500 was up almost a half a percent today. And it was really interesting day actually very light volume as you expect just before a three day break. But we had a really big run right at the end. And that’s a good sign. Sometimes that helps the next day. Unfortunately, since we have a three day weekend, probably people will forget about that by the time we get back to Tuesday, but I want to be able to answer a question that has been coming in, it’s just, you know, what’s really hot right now what’s really moving? And what have you. So let me share my screen, and I’ll show you you know, what I’ve come across.
Right, so this, this is my signal portfolio that I made this morning, I make this portfolio almost daily. And again, you know, I’m pulling all 2300 ETFs. And then I screen those for the pieces that I don’t want, I take out, you know, Bitcoin and cannabis and you know, et cetera, et cetera, I have some pieces that I don’t like, I take out very volatile pieces, like the VIX, and what have you. I then mash those together and put them into this signal portfolio.
So first of all, there’s a couple things that are unique that are happening right now, in the past, not that long ago, even just a few weeks ago, this portion here, the lighter blue, this green energy was the big dominant piece. And so still, they’re very strong. But what has happened is now we’ve seen technology, this brighter blue, start to become the big dominant portion. 3D printing, which we started to accumulate last week, really is the biggest piece in the methodology that I use to identify this signal portfolio. And it wasn’t that big was kind of down here. The last time we talked about this. So that’s working this block below okay, with this transformational data is actually the computing and what have you what they call blockchain, that’s behind Bitcoin is doing very well.
And if we look, you know, the next biggest piece here is this clean power with Kensho, CNRG, and then a couple of other clean energy, Invesco, clean green, first trust green. So these are, you know, our big movers, and then ARKQ, which is the autonomous and robotics and then the gig economy, which has actually been in there. So the things that I actually look at for this are some of those pieces that aren’t that big, we’ve already have positions and all of these places. So this gig economy is interesting. We just taken a position here, still relatively small, but that’s fascinating. But the one area that I’m watching maybe the most coming forward here is actually this yellow piece, which is the emerging markets, more and more, I’m starting to see emerging markets kind of peak up. Sometimes they fall down, and they disappear. But that’s where you start to see some of these emerging trends.
So I’d certainly make sure I had, you know, strong exposure to technology in general, and clean energy in general. And some of these individual pieces I think are important. The Ark funds are I think, very, very nice. That’s an Ark fund. That’s an Ark fund, and another Ark fund down here, etc. I think almost all of them are in here. Here’s the Genomics. Alright, still in there. That was a bigger piece. And so it slowed down a little bit, kind of what you’d expect. So altogether, you know, what we’re seeing right now is this kind of motion towards technology. And some of these areas have slowed down a bit, but still, you know, outperforming the market overall. But that’s the kind of hot areas right now. So I really am interested to see what’s going to happen next week. So I will make sure to be here and talk to you on Tuesday. Thank you very much.
