Thinking about adding Mexico to the portfolio: if there's an AI bubble, the Mexican market is a great hedge—22% consumer staples, 23% materials, 17% financials, and 0% information technology, versus S&P 500's 33% in tech. EWW up 48% YTD—too attractive to ignore.
The government shutdown and its effect on $WMT is not a concern for me. I understand a major revenue source is SNAP benefits that will be delayed due to the shutdown, but walk around a store and you’ll understand the economic moat it has around its business. I remain long $WMT.
@FazePercules *Not Financial Advice*, but I'm going where the ball is rolling. Germany plans massive fiscal spending on defense. Japan's new PM aims for 5% of GDP on defense. Top-down approach for this strategy.
I'm long on aerospace/defense. Many believe corporate America will benefit most from the AI boom. AI will transform warfare, as seen in Ukraine. ETF picks: ITA, IDEF, SHLD. Stock pick: RTX.
