Good morning.
It’s easy to overlook the weather. However, executives are increasingly warning about the impact of an El Nino weather pattern emerging. The economic impact could rise to the trillions, as this weather pattern tends to last for several years.
The biggest and most immediate impact would be seen in the agricultural space, where reduced rainfall could lead to lower production of crips such as sugar, cocoa, and palm oil, among others. In a worst case scenario, food prices could move high enough to keep inflation higher for longer as well.
Investors can get ahead of this trend by investing in companies that use these food products, and who will see a higher share price as these food prices trend higher.

Good morning.
While the stock market can play out a bullish and bearish cycle in just a few years, commodity cycles tend to take decades to play out. But when they do, they tend to make for fantastic returns when bought at the right time.
Currently, energy shares are trading at their cheapest levels since 2008. Even with a big rally in oil and other energy commodities so far this year, stock prices haven’t reflected the growth in revenue or higher pricing fully yet, leading to the compelling valuation. Plus, the sector as a whole underinvested over the past few years following the boom and bust in shale energy development.
Investors who are still cautious on markets overall may want to consider continuing to go long in the energy space, whether from big-name, dividend-payers to more speculative names taking advantage of the underinvestment in energy over the past decade.

Good morning.
The past few years has seen the rise of SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies. These firms simply offer a way for companies to go public by merging with the SPAC shell corporation. It’s a more efficient way of going public, and has been good for companies such as Virgin Galactic (SPCE) and DraftKings (DKNG).
Investors got overly enthusiastic about the space, however, driving the price of a shell company worth $10 to as high as $15 or $20 in some cases before prices started cratering in February. Now, billionaire Bill Ackman, who launched a SPAC late last year, has announced a potential $40 billion deal to take Universal Music public.
The market hated the news, given the highly complicated nature of the deal, sending shares of the SPAC name well under their cash value, and likely scaring off a potential rebound in SPAC names for months to come.
