AdvisorShares-This Week in Active ETF: Tweets & Press Conferences
January 17, 2017--Weekly Market Review-Highlights of the Prior week of January 09 to January 13, 2017
Macro
Last week, President Elect Trump gave his first press conference, arguably it was explosive and of course he
continued to Tweet prolifically. There were some market moving
comments again, this time related to the healthcare sector
and the manner in which the US "bids" on drug prices.
There have been other sectors and industries that have previously
drawn Trump's attention with market moving results and it is
likely this will continue although we would be glad if it stopped.
Mark Yusko, CEO from Morgan Creek Capital opined that the
comments on healthcare might have created an opportunity,
specifically in biotech. We will neither agree nor disagree with
Trump's comments but where he can move markets it would be
useful for advisors to get out in front of clients' concerns about
this issue.
