AI and the chip stocks are surely conspiring to drive NASDAQ higher during this last leg of NASDAQ’s Best 8 months November-June.

Value or growth? It’s an important question, especially after seeing some of the big tech stocks pop after better-than-expected earnings in the last couple of weeks. It’s important to remember that if our economic outlook is correct, we are currently in the middle of an extended period of higher interest rates. Artisan Value Fund (ARTLX) is a fund I like as a result, notes Brian Kelly, editor of Money Letter.

A technical review of markets can help manage shorter-term risks. Currently, the debate is about the market rally from the October lows. Is it a resumption of the 2009 bull market trend or an extended bear market rally? Unfortunately, I don’t have the answer. But while there are many reasons to be bearish on the markets, it is essential to remember that “stocks climb a wall of worry,” explains Lance Roberts, editor of The Bull Bear Report.

Investors looking to maximize yield on their investments often look to covered call or enhanced yield ETFs in a low interest rate, high volatility, or low growth environment. In fact, these strategies have historically been shown to outperform the broad market during periods of weakness or consolidation and many boast attractive yields to lure investors. However, not all covered call ETFs are created equal and it is important to look under the hood when investing in these products. Maximizing yield above all other considerations may come at a significant cost that many investors may be unfamiliar with.
