This ETF or actually ETN (Exchange Traded Note) does not belong to any group. Reason to place this ETN in each group so that all ETF customers can take note of it. Maybe now it looks like I'm going to invest in cryptos. No, I've never done anything with cryptos myself and I'm not going to do it. So why did you buy this Ethereum crypto ETN? I expect NFTs to become very large. Now it is quite difficult to buy exactly that NFT that will generate a lot of money later on. Too big a risk for me. Nevertheless, I want to be able to benefit from the great success that these NFTs are likely to become. After research I found out that almost all those NFTs use the Ethereum blockchain and have to be paid with Ethereum. The reason is that the Ethereum blockchain is extremely suitable for NFTs. The Bitcoin blockchain, for example, is not. Ethereum is currently the absolute market leader among NFTs as a means of payment with more than 95%. There will be alternatives. But it is likely that Ethereum will remain the market leader. So almost everyone who buys an NFT has to buy Ethereum first. If those NFTs are a success, Ethereum will rise sharply because of all those purchases. And that's the reason I'm buying this ETN. But there's more. The energy consumption of most cryptos is huge. Ethereum has the solution. With “the Merge” they will switch to a new type of blockchain in the course of this year. The energy consumption can then be about 1000 times lower and the transaction costs can therefore also be significantly reduced. So with investing in this Ethereum ETN I kill 2 birds with 1 stone. This year, Ethereum will become an extremely low-power crypto that will beat Bitcoin. And the main reason for me; I have a nice spot on the just departing NFT train. Two things are important for a significant increase in this ETN: NFTs must become a great success and even better a hype. Ethereum should remain one of the most widely used means of payment for buying an NFT.

In last Friday's good US jobs data, investors saw the risk of an imminent rate hike. However, the US unemployment rate is still too high to expect an interest rate hike. As long as inflation is higher than interest rates, the currency depreciation will continue and silver has nothing to fear. In addition, due to the climate, the world is becoming more and more electric. And that takes a lot of silver.

Like gold, silver still suffers from the so-called temporary higher inflation. I don't expect that higher inflation to be temporary. Silver is primarily a raw material for the electronics industry. Due to the corona D variant, there are again some concerns about the pick-up in economic growth. Those concerns seem justified to me. Nevertheless, the demand for silver will continue to increase. We are moving towards an almost completely electric world. And that requires silver. Due to the low silver price of the past 10 years, almost no new silver mines have been started. There comes a time when supply and demand are no longer in balance. This will lead to a sharply rising silver price.

The gold price has suffered a lot from the rising yields. It remains to be seen whether the FED will do something about this on March 17. If the FED decides to buy more bonds, yields will fall and gold prices will rise. American inflation is expected to rise sharply in the coming months. That too will increase the gold price. The demand for physical gold in the form of coins and bars remains significant. After the lockdowns have been lifted, the demand for gold jewelry will increase. This is not to be underestimated, because the jewelry industry is the largest gold buyer.

Tonight we get the FED. I expect the FED to indicate that interest rates will remain low for a long time. In addition, that they are now (small chance) or for the near future ready to expand the purchase program. Low interest rates and more money printing are good for the gold price. What is also still to come is the stimulus package from the US government. Maybe for a lower amount than what is desired. But any additional amount directly to the citizen will eventually lead to higher inflation. Higher inflation is good for the gold price. All reasons to buy this ETF today.
