BUY

Company is a gateway to economy as market exchanges are central point to economy. Ability to take advantage of any economic environment (trading fees). Believes is a good long term company to own.

TOP PICK

Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The leader in the space. Holds contracts to trade futures on just about everything. If you believe commodities will do well, this will benefit. A way to play both financials and commodities. Yield is 1.66%. (Analysts’ price target is $252.24)

BUY

They reported a strong quarter. Volatility and rising rates helped them. 30% of their business is in interest-rate futures, which grew 50%. They have strong cash flow and pay a 4% dividend. They also have futures in Bitcoin.

BUY

Play the volatility in all the asset classes.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 20/18, Up 10%) The more activity, the better they do. In all the major asset classes. Volumes were down, but now you're seeing more of a pickup.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 20/18, Up 13%) They do well during volatility and less so during calm. It depends on transaction volumes. They're still growing well, but volumes declined 15% (when the markets were calm) earlier this year. Because it moves opposite to the markets, it's a hedge.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 10/19, Up 7%) Summer isn't a negative period necessarily for stocks and this is an example. CME benefits from volatility in Q3, also a time when trading volumes rise. May 11-Oct.5 is its seasonality.

TOP PICK

Will benefit from volatility. Trades in options in futures. Seasonal strength is May - October. Reverse head and shoulders, should go to about $200. Yield is 1.64%. (Analysts’ price target is $183.63)

TOP PICK

It's holding its highs. They run the world's largest options and futures trading, based in the US. Their volume of trade spikes up in times of market volatility and uncertainty, like now. They're growing a lot in Asia. Their Q2 was their best ever, with 15% revenue rise and 35% profit increase. (Analysts’ price target is $191.14)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's been on a smooth uptrend since 2016. Probably due for a slight correction. It's had trouble breaking new highs this year. Buy it if it pullsback--he's be all over it.

WEAK BUY

The exchange space may face some headwinds from a regulatory perspective. They have enormous amounts of data which people pay for. There may be fewer terminals on desks today; however, when there is tenseness in the market, they make more money. He likes it.
