The Market (2022-2026)

I've been keeping an eye on them too but haven't pulled the trigger yet. UI (Ubiquiti) is another that I've been eying. Both seemed like they got over sold a bit.

I've been a little hesitant to move more money out of cash though lately with the way the market has been basically barcoding the last few month. Taking the 3.5% or so a month over sideways action hasn't felt like the worst move. Then I also have plenty of cash on hand for if we finally get our overdue recession and a bit of a market reset.

Me too. I have a bond fund that pays 11 percent monthly. The rest in cash. If you don't want to play AI, it's tough. So many companies are investing in it. So you play a defensive stock, and find out they have a percentage of their money in AI. You almost cannot avoid it.

I have this weird stock. It only pays dividends once a year. It's EMPB.

I bought 100 shares based on a video of it's founder:

The creator and founder of the Efficient Market Portfolio Plus ETF (EMPB) is Wayne Penello, founder, president, and CEO of NextGen EMP. He created the fund and its underlying quantitative strategy to help small equity investors manage downside risk and capture market alpha.

In a nutshell, it's a hedge fund in ETF form. So far I have owned it in up and down markets. When the stock market goes up, it goes up. When the stock market goes down, it goes up. It doesn't rocket way up or down. Just steady Eddie. I thought about putting more cash into it, except for two things. It's fairly new, I believe it was founded 2024, and there's not huge volume in it. It's AUM is only 23.94 MILLION. only 720K shares outstanding. Just watching it so far. Check out these splits:

I'd be careful. That fund has had a negative total return since inception in 2022 due to price decay. Yield is only half the story. I'm always wary of anything yielding significantly more than the risk free rate.

I have been watching for NAV errosion and so far so good. I have had some weekly pay ETFs and the NAV errosion was huge. So far price has been mirroring market ups and downs.
