Tom Lydon Opines About OGIG And Gold On Fox Business
by AARON NEUWIRTH on APRIL 22, 2020
With everything that’s going on in the world, there are still some ETFs with great holdings involving top internet stocks, which should be seriously considered for investor portfolios. ETF Trends’ CEO Tom Lydon appeared on “The Claman Countdown,” hosted Liz Claman on Fox Business, Wednesday afternoon, to go over FAANG stocks and gold.
The fact is, this virus has changed the way people live, the way they work, and it’s also changed the way they invest. Watching ETF performance and flows can help shed light on really what’s going on. So when it comes to seeking opportunities, looking at the Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ), it’s all about FAANG stocks.
As Lydon explains, it’s the FAANG stocks that have done a great job in bringing the markets back. Google, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, etc. are all a part of the O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF (OGIG). This ETF, which also features holdings such as Alibaba and Zoom, has all benefited from the working from home component many employees have had to settle into.
“As we work from home, it’s not that things are stopping, as we’re doing all we can. That in mind, when you think about embracing Microsoft like it never has been before, that’s all part of OGIG,” Lydon states.
Liquid Gold
When asked about the decent rally gold is currently having (up to around $45), Lydon digs into the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), the biggest, most traded, and most liquid fund. It may not be the cheapest gold ETF; however, it’s held by most people, and easier to buy than the last recession. Central banks from around the world that have been buying up gold for the past few years have helped it reach a 7-year high.
This has all helped continue to show gold, the traditional hedge, as one of those great diversifiers in this current volatile market. Going forward, the biggest thing is how the demand for gold isn’t slowing down.

Before you invest in O’Shares ETF Investments Funds, please refer to the prospectus for important information about the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. To obtain a prospectus containing this and other important information, please view or download a prospectus. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest. There are risks involved with investing including the possible loss of principal.
Concentration in a particular industry or sector will subject the Funds to loss due to adverse occurrences that may affect that industry or sector. The Funds may use derivatives which may involve risks different from, or greater than, those associated with more traditional investments. A Fund's emphasis on dividend-paying stocks involves the risk that such stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the market. Also, a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend after the Fund's purchase of such a company's securities. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Exposures to foreign securities entail special risks, including political, diplomatic, economic, foreign market and trading risks. In addition, a Fund's investments in securities denominated in other currencies could decline due to changes in local currency relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the Fund's returns. See the prospectus for specific risks regarding the Funds.
The securities of small capitalization companies are often more volatile and less liquid than the stocks of larger companies and may be more affected than other types of securities during market downturns. Compared to larger companies, small capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, and may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources.
Companies involved with Internet technology and e-commerce are exposed to risks associated with rapid advances in technology, obsolescence of current products and services, the finite life of patents and the constant threat of global competition and substitutes.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), are not individually redeemable, and owners of Shares may acquire those Shares from the Funds and tender those shares for redemption to the Funds in Creation Unit aggregations only, consisting of 50,000 Shares. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The market price of Shares can be at, below, or above NAV. Market Price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 PM Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded Shares at other times.
