Q: I have very limited to zero holdings in Consumer Defensive and Cyclical. Could you explain the difference between Defensive and Cyclical and recommend how best to invest, either individual stocks or ETF.
Many thanks,
Ralph

Q: Hello Team,
What do you think of XHYC for the next 1-2 years? What is the downside? Better to do XLY instead?
Thank you!
