But with the market at an all-time high, now is probably a good time to hedge against potential downside, experts say. That's especially the case because there's an elevated degree of risk facing stocks, and the cost of some insurance measures is historically cheap.

AdvertisementRosenberg Research"The definition of a stretched market is one when the S&P 500 gaps 14% or more above the 200-day trendline. Beyond extreme, in fact — back to 1928, the S&P 500 has only drifted this far above the moving average 7% of the time," Rosenberg said.

☆ Antibiotic-resistant germs are killing us. Microscopic viruses may be the answer
  + stars: | 2024-01-21 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +14 min
Last year doctors offered to treat Horton’s infection with one of nature’s oldest predators — tiny tripod-looking viruses called phages designed to find, attack and gobble up bacteria. SCIEPRO/Science Photo Library/Getty ImagesThe microscopic creatures have saved the lives of patients dying from superbug infections and are being used in clinical trials as a potential solution to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Would the bacteria from her ear help scientists find phages that would treat the eye infections as well? By the following January, the CDC said at least 50 patients in 11 states had developed superbug infections after using preservative‐free artificial tears. It was a qualified success: The antibiotic-resistant bacteria in five patients were eradicated, while several more patients showed improvements.

☆ Reluctant to chase the rally? How to bet on a year-end pop with options
  + stars: | 2023-12-04 | by ( Michael Khouw | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) Index , which closed Friday at 12.63 is currently approaching 5-year lows. It is calculated from the prices of S & P 500 index options. Investors can speculate in VIX futures or VIX futures options, but understanding the futures "term structure" (how the prices of various futures of different expiration relate to each other) isn't that straightforward. Consider the following chart of the Barclays iPath S & P 500 (VXX) , an exchange traded note which is intended to track the S & P 500 short-term VIX futures total return index vs. the VIX Index itself. If one is inclined to make a bullish bet, but is reluctant to get caught "chasing" after the market has already rallied sharply, perhaps we can take advantage of the fact options prices are well below average.

☆ Bond yields and volatility are spiking. These ETFs should benefit
  + stars: | 2023-07-06 | by ( Jesse Pound | In Jesse-Pound | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Wall Street's glide toward higher stocks and falling bond yields was jolted into reverse Thursday, as surprisingly strong economic data sent bond yields soaring and stocks tumbling . For example, the iPath Series B S & P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) and the ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (VIXY) serve as bets that investor expectations of volatility will go up from here. The UVXY is designed to provide 1.5-times returns of the VIX short-term futures and was up about 8% in midday trading. Rising yields Profiting from rate spikes through bond funds can be a bit tricky. The biggest fund in that space is the iShares Floating Rate Bond ETF (FLOT) , which was little changed on Thursday.

☆ Goldman Sachs and others expect copper prices to soar. Here are some related stocks that analysts love
  + stars: | 2023-06-05 | by ( Weizhen Tan | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Copper prices are at their lowest levels in almost a year, but it could provide investors with a buying opportunity. In another May report, Goldman Sachs gave copper prices 25% upside over the next 12 months, rising to $11,000 per ton. Copper prices suffered a nearly 6% decline in May — on pace for the worst month in almost a year since June 2022, according to CNBC analysis. But the market is currently in a "significant deficit" phase, said Goldman analysts. Filo Mining , another Canadian miner, had the highest buy rating at 91%.

The Aberdeen Standard Platinum Shares ETF , the GraniteShares Platinum Trust and the iPath Series B Bloomberg Platinum Subindex Total Return ETN are among the funds that track the metal. The Aberdeen Standard Platinum Shares ETF, for instance, rose 10% — jumping over 20% in the last six months alone.

☆ These are the Dow stocks you want to own the most if the Fed sparks a risk-on rally
  + stars: | 2022-11-01 | by ( Michelle Fox | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Beaten-down stocks could be the big beneficiaries of a potential Federal Reserve-fueled rally this week. It would be the Fed 's fourth straight 0.75 percentage point increase in its campaign to tame inflation. Instead, investors will focus on what Fed Chair Jerome Powell may signal about future rate increases on Wednesday. Any signs that the Fed will slow the pace of tightening could ease investors' fears of a recession and result in a risk-on rally. The iPhone maker is down 13.3% so far this year, far less than other hard-hit tech stocks.
