CWS Market Review – April 19, 2023

Earlier today I had one of the most thrilling experiences of my professional life. I got to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange.

Here’s the video.

This was an amazing experience. I want to thank the folks at the NYSE for their hospitality. I was joined on the balcony by my business partners at AdvisorShares. They’re the ones who make sure that our ETF (CWS) runs smoothly.

Here are a few pictures from today’s festivities.

This is the famous facade of the NYSE:

Here’s a look at the balcony from the trading floor”

This is Peter Tuchman, one of the legendary traders on the floor. He’s often photographed in news stories about the market. He stayed with us and chatted markets.

Me looking professional.

71 seconds to go. This is the view from the balcony. You can barely make out Jim Cramer in the middle. I cut off his head (sorry, Jim!). Above that you can see me on the screen taking this picture.

Me with gavel.

“The Dukes are buying. Let’s get in on this.”

CWS!

No stock stuff today. I just wanted to share a fun day with you.

The regular premium issue will go out on Friday. By the way, we had a very Buy List good earnings report today from Abbott Labs (ABT). The stock beat earnings by four cents per share and closed the day higher by 7.8%. Stryker (SYK) also got to a new all-time high today. I’ll have full details in the upcoming issue.

P.S. I’m available for any of your bell-ringing needs (weddings, graduations, Notre Dame, etc.)
