Not a recommendation, but FWIW, a simple four commodity-based ETF portfolio has gained 71% since end of June 2023. Food for thought if nothing else. @sentimentrader https://t.co/ROSWeo7jDL 3.3K views · 24 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 03 Sep 2026 Not all ETFs are created equal, apparently - even when tracking the same index (S&P 500 Growth in this case). Think expense ratios don't matter? Think again. VOOG ER = 0.07%, IVW ER = 0.18%. Chart is relative performance over the last 10 years. @sentimentrader https://t.co/DJ 2.7K views · 18 likes · 2 reposts · 2 replies 02 Sep 2026 Can something as obscure as a 30-year cycle in commodities really matter? Decide for yourself. But, um, so far, so good. @sentimentrader https://t.co/adukSjz2uh 95.7K views · 691 likes · 105 reposts · 24 replies 02 Sep 2026 Never dismiss a spike in insider buying. Despite recent struggles, XLK is still up 28% since April 9. @sentimentrader 4.3K views · 44 likes · 3 reposts · 1 replies 02 Sep 2026 I keep an open mind regarding bonds. But the models I follow keep saying "Look elsewhere for better opportunities." FWIW, TLT is down another 5.7% since April 4th post, and my own bond models are still unfavorable. What's a disciplined trend-follower to do? @sentimentrader 3.6K views · 27 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies 02 Sep 2026 Meanwhile, technology sector insiders keep buying (The chart shows the total number of corporate insiders of companies covered by the XLK ETF that have bought shares on the open market during the past six months). Make of it what you will. @sentimentrader https://t.co/p6wCQSpVAe 82.5K views · 138 likes · 31 reposts · 7 replies 09 Apr 2026 FWIW, one of my primary bond models remains steadfastly unfavorable. Could things change quickly? Sure. But until then, I’ll be out of long-term treasuries, just as I have been for most of the last six years. https://t.co/iOa03NR03T 6.9K views · 52 likes · 3 reposts · 4 replies 04 Apr 2026
