TCUS maintains a steady course in July The July rebalance of the Trading Central Quant U.S. 50 Equity Index ETF (TCUS) resulted in turnover of just 12%, with only six of the portfolio’s 50 equal-weight holdings changing. The relatively limited rollover indicates that the Quantamental model continues to find attractive characteristics among many of the existing holdings. Technology and health care remain the portfolio’s largest sector allocations, accounting for 34% and 32% respectively. The portfolio also retains a meaningful mid-cap orientation, with mid-sized companies representing 50% of holdings, compared with 26% in large caps and 24% in small caps. From an investment-style perspective, TCUS remains broadly diversified. Value stocks represent 44% of the portfolio, followed by growth at 38% and income at 18%. Among the highest-rated holdings for July are AMN Healthcare Services, Innoviva, Encore Capital Group and Teradata, each supported by strong combinations of valuation, growth, momentum and quality factors. Overall, the July portfolio reflects a consistent model signal, with limited turnover and continued emphasis on technology, health care and attractively rated mid-cap companies. https://www.longpointetfs.com/etfs/tcus

Hi guys, I've been investing and learning for the past 3 years and identify myself as a Value Investor. There is still something that I can't understand: Many investors prefer to invest in ETFs like the S&P 500 rather than analyze stocks individually, but at least nowadays half of those stocks are severely overvalued, and I don't understand why people still invest in them. Please help me understand.
Two of the most watched stocks on the planet report Wednesday after close, same night. $TSLA: margins and Cybercab or bust. $GOOGL: cloud growth and whether AI is helping or killing ad revenue. Both carry elevated expectations. “Good” is no longer enough. Supporting cast: $NOW, $TXN, $INTC, and $NEE fill out the week. $TSLA or $GOOGL, which moves your Wednesday? 👇
Aecon is one of Canada’s largest infrastructure and construction companies. It builds and maintains major projects in: * Nuclear power * Utilities and power transmission * Roads and highways * Transit (LRT, subways) * Bridges * Pipelines * Industrial facilities * Mining infrastructure Its customers include federal and provincial governments, utilities, and large industrial companies. I personally love seeing companies with both public and private sector exposure. Bull Case: Massive infrastructure spending Canada is expected to invest heavily for years in: * Nuclear power * Electricity transmission * Renewable energy * Public transit * Water infrastructure Aecon is well positioned to benefit. Record backlog A backlog of nearly $11 billion provides several years of contracted work, reducing uncertainty. Bear Case: Thin margins Construction is a low-margin business. Even small cost overruns can significantly reduce profits. Fixed-price contract risk Unexpected inflation, labor shortages, or material cost increases can make contracts much less profitable. Cyclical business If governments delay infrastructure spending or private-sector investment slows, new project awards may decline. Honestly with such a huge backlog, the pros outweigh the cons with this one. The biggest issue is valuation. What are your thoughts?
Some companies are worth more because of the product they sell. The best ones are worth more because of the relationship they build. $SOFI can turn one member into a banking, investing, credit card, and lending customer. $UBER can turn one rider into a delivery customer, Uber One member, and local commerce user. $AMZN can monetize one Prime member through retail, ads, subscriptions, groceries, and entertainment. $NOW can enter through one workflow and expand across an entire enterprise. $MELI can turn one shopper into a payments, credit, logistics, and advertising customer. The product gets the customer in. The relationship is what creates the long-term value.
Tomorrow at 1 pm EST, I’ll be live with @maxstocks and Global X for a conversation on: • SpaceX • Satellite communications • Defence and space technology • Public vs. private space companies • The evolving space economy • Opportunities and risks investors should be watching And more! https://m.youtube.com/live/nkNkEU4Jmrs

Tesla delivered 480K vehicles in Q2 beating estimates by ~18%. The stock still dropped ~6.5%. Why? A few beginner investor lessons: 📈 "Priced in" the stock already rallied 12% the week before the report. By the time good news is confirmed, some traders sell to lock in gains. 💰 Volume ≠ profit deliveries show demand, not margins. The market cares more about how much money each car actually makes. 📊 Sky high valuation at 200x+ forward P/E, "good" isn't good enough. The market's pricing in perfection. Earnings drop Wed 7/22 after close margins and Robotaxi updates will matter more than the delivery number ever did.
Artificial intelligence, data centers, electric vehicles, robotics, and cloud computing all have one thing in common—they rely on semiconductors. Instead of trying to pick the next $NVDA or $AMD, I prefer investing in a semiconductor ETF for instant diversification across the industry’s biggest players. Some Canadian-friendly options include: $SOXX – Broad exposure to leading semiconductor companies. $SMH – Concentrated exposure to industry leaders like NVIDIA, TSMC, and Broadcom. $CHPS (BMO Global Semiconductor Index ETF) – A Canadian-listed option that provides exposure to the global semiconductor industry. Why I’m bullish on semiconductors: • AI demand is growing rapidly. • EVs require significantly more chips than traditional vehicles.( I know this because im a sparky🤩) • Cloud computing and data centers continue to expand. • The world is becoming increasingly connected through smart devices and automation. Like any sector ETF, semiconductor funds can be volatile, but I see them as a long-term growth opportunity rather than a short-term trade. I’m investing for the next 10–20 years, not the next 10–20 days. What’s your favorite semiconductor ETF? 👇 #Investing #ETF #Semiconductors #AI #LongTermInvesting #CanadianInvestor #PassiveInvesting #BlossomSocial #WealthBuilding
