Rocky’s Weekly Stock Picks

This week we’re looking at energy! We love oil and natural gas so much. And uranium.

Also, Rolls Royce.

In other news, WeBull now allows Futures trading. In other other news, WeBull does not appear to be offering a referral affiliate link. So, that sucks. For us. Not for you.

1. RYCEY - $5.09/share. No options, no dividends. These are ADR’s for Rolls Royce. We recommended this pick when it less than a dollar. They are incredibly well-positioned for explosive growth, even before Boeing’s recent failures in the commercial airliner space.
   
   Basically we called this. Not bragging, just saying.
   
   
   

2. ET - $15.68/share, quarterly distributions, weekly options. Now, we don’t really recommend frequent buying and selling of PTP’s. Brokerages do a respectable job of tracking your total basis, but in reality they fall short. You end up leaving money on the table by not tracking your own carry-forward losses.
   
   And without recording, reporting, and tracking those losses, the IRS will not allow the deduction.
   
   But tax consequences aside, Energy Transfer continues to rise in value while paying an annualized 8%, a figure that has remained stable for years.
   
   BTW, we recommended this when it was under $7. Not bragging, just saying.
   
   
   

3. BOIL - $13.66/share, 2.11% expense ratio. If there’s distributions, we can’t find a record of it. We don’t even really know very much about how to properly utilize ETFs.
   
   What we do know is that we love natural gas, we love the name, and we sort of trust Bloomberg to make money at the end of the day.
   
   
   

4. ACVF - $39.62/share, quarterly distributions, annualized at 0.71%. Expense ratio of 0.75%.
   
   We don’t really care about distributions at this time. This is just a way to keep your money safe from inflation.
   
   American Conservative Values Fund doesn’t hold companies that go against their values. At least, that’s the general philosophy of the fund.
   
   Doesn’t matter, the share price continues to rise steadily. A good, safe, spot for parking money.
   
   For return, however, CD’s and Treasury Securities are probably the way to go at this point.
   
   
   

5. EWW - $68.67/share. iShares MSCI Mexico ETF.
   
   All we did was search Fidelity for “Mexico” and this came up. Hilarious ticker symbol, trustworthy fund management, and exposure to Mexico. lol
   
   There is another Mexico ETF that is leveraged, MEXX. 3x leveraged , Bull.
   
   
   RE: Leveraged ETFs - They’re designed for day traders, and can ruin your life if you’re trading on margin. Advisors strongly recommend against holding these.
   
   SO WHAT’S THE REALITY?
   
   A bit of investigation reveals that holding certain leveraged ETFs, say a leveraged Bull ETF pegged to the S&P, will yield exponentially better returns over time.
   
   BUT WHAT ABOUT INVERSE ETFS?!
   
   I mean, that’s on you. We’re simple folk and our magical powers of foresight and lucky guesses only go so far. We do hold some small amounts of inverse funds, with GTC sell orders. If we’re lucky, we’ll have the right limit price at the right time when its value spikes.
   
   Which, to be fair, is inevitable in the long-term; as market crashes are inherently inevitable.
