Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin I remain a big fan of cash right now. I know, I know. I’m not supposed to say this in a stock -focused column like this. “But Brett,” I can hear the rebuttal. “We’ve been smartly selling the rips . My cash is burning a hole in my pocket.” “And I’m here for the income. Shouldn’t I buy something ?” Not yet. We contrarians shouldn’t be in a hurry to time the bottom of the market. There will be free and fast money on the other side of this bearish storm. Every correction eventually ends. For now, we buy lightly. And enjoy our comfortable seat. This is what I call the “no beta” portfolio. It’s a pile of cash that we deploy when we “back up the truck” at major market bottoms. In the spring of 2020 , we went on a dividend shopping spree.

Inverse China ETFs Stage Breakout After Tariff Threat Tweet
Hopes of a trade deal breakthrough between Washington and Beijing have played a major part in driving China's benchmark stock index, the SSE Composite (000001.SS), up over 17% year to date (YTD). Therefore, it's not surprising to see the key Asian index suffer its largest one-day drop since February 2016 on Monday – a fall of 5.6% – after U.S. President Donald Trump fired off a Sunday tweet indicating that he plans to raise tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods to 25% on Friday because trade talks are moving too slowly.
