investing

Investing involves buying assets such as stocks, bonds, real estate, or other financial instruments with the goal of earning a return. This return can come in the form of capital gains (when the asset increases in value) or income (such as dividends or interest payments).

Shares of Archer Daniels Midland hit a record high of $69 in early June. That’s because its new focus on value-added products continues to lift its earnings. We expect the shares will resume their upward trend as restaurants re-open and rising automobile travel spurs ethanol demand.

Sustainable investing has expanded quickly over the past decade. Still, investors are rightly concerned about whether a focus on environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) aspects may detract from their overall portfolio performance.

In the past century, the world’s great powers have shifted from a gold-linked monetary system to a system based on fiat money—paper or electronic money with no intrinsic value. Fiat money only works as a medium of exchange/store of value because it has the backing of government decrees or fiats.

Investor fads that are likely to blow over in a relatively short time will seldom be captured in an ETF. There is just not enough time for the manager to get the product to market and generate enough investor interest.
However, when fads become trends with longer expected time horizons, managers are eager to get products to waiting investors....

We continue to recommend income-seeking investors stick with high-quality utilities (like the three we review below) instead of bonds. That’s because the increasing likelihood of rising interest rates in the next few years would hurt bond prices.
While utilities would also have to refinance their maturing debt at higher rates, regulators would probably let them pass along most of those costs to their customers....
