Sean Brodrick - The Trump Trade Post-Election Has Been Buy Crypto And Tech Stocks, But Sell Gold And Silver
Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to unpack the post-election "Trump Trade," which has been strong buying in cryptos, crypto stocks, tech stocks, and large US equities, but conversely strong selling in gold, silver, commodities, and resource stocks. We also discuss renewable energy and nuclear energy trends, as it relates to policies under question now from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
We start off reviewing the correction and consolidation seen over the last 2 weeks in gold, silver, and the PM stocks, and why Sean could see a corrective move in the yellow metal back down to $2475. He explains why he sold many gold and silver equities last week to pull profits, and rotated more funds into Bitcoin via the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and crypto related stocks like MicroStrategy Inc (Nasdaq: MSTR) and Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) to keep riding that trend higher. This leads to a discussion on the dynamics around gold versus bitcoin, and the different drivers for each. Sean points to 3 key factors in policy changes and company adoption of cryptos that has been bullish for that sector, but also makes the case that despite the corrective move in gold, silver, and the PM equities, that he still believes there is far more upside left in the ongoing precious metals bull market medium to longer-term.
The conversation then pivots into the opportunities Sean is seeing in US equities, particularly in online finance and fintech with ETFs like Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK), and companies like Block, Inc. (NYSE: SQ). Additionally, Sean remains constructive on large companies and mega-cap tech stocks that can weather the higher for longer interest rates, like Nvidia, Amazon, and Alphabet/Google.
Next we discuss how the Trump administration has been vocal about revoking portions of the Inflation Reduction Act targeting funds for renewable energy, critical minerals, and even nuclear power. Sean believes sectors like wind and solar energy may indeed languish, for a number of reasons, but is far more bullish on the uranium equities and nuclear power stocks. We wrap up with a nuanced discussion on the importance of having a diversified investing approach and how Sean approaches his own diversified portfolio.
