WEAK BUY
ETF for US exposure?
Underperformed the last couple of years. Low volatility was all the rage when we had some corrections. We might have some more corrective action in US stocks, Warren Buffett has a massive cash hoard, Stanley Druckenmiller's calling for 0% growth in US stocks for 10 years. Volatility is tempered with ZLU -- it will go down less in a correction, but up less too. You might decide to stick with this for the long term.

BUY
He's owned it for a while. It's had a nice, steady upward move. He's recommended it in the past, and this environment is good to enter into this ETF.

(A Top Pick Jan 11/19, Up 26%) He thinks this is still a good choice to weather the uncertainty right now. Low volatility ETFs are good when the markets are uncertain.

TOP PICK
An ETF that emphasizes on stocks with low beta. In a volatile market, this is the type of stock you want. It's made of utilities, consumer staples and discretionary. A safe and stable way to enter the market.

TOP PICK
No tech stocks, but low volatility with McDonald's and Waste Management. Utilities that pay dividends. Good for waiting and seeing how trade headlines plays out.
E.T.F.'s
TOP PICK
Diversified. More on the consumer side of the market, so not as exposed to the trade wars. Yield is 1.73%.

BUY
This has done extremely well, outperforming America in 2018. The yield is okay, but it has good diversification and it will let you sleep at night. It holds Mattel, McDonald's and others.

E.T.F.'s
Chart shows it has been going sideways, but that is at a time where the rest of the market was actually going down. Thinks it is back in a situation where we are going to see it going up. This is very much consumer oriented. They have 25% utilities, 24% consumer staples, 17% healthcare and 10% consumer discretionary.
