"I have been particularly interested in China's GDP growth, primarily because it is of interest to so many of my clients.

We are starting to see the impact of the trade war between China and the US."

"I have been reading more in the news about water scarcity as a global phenomenon and how this could soon make water a good investment. Shortages in upcoming years could make water a precious commodity, making it a potential opportunity for investors. From my research, I see that a small amount of traditional mutual funds and exchange-traded funds already invest in water. These investments mainly center on its delivery, testing, and cleaning. I believe there could be phenomenal growth as governments strive to battle expected water shortages."

Goldman Sachs has helped many online platforms rise to the success they've found, from Spotify to Twitter, Dropbox, and Robinhood. Recently they backed Apple's new venture, AppleCard. Since its inception, it has run into some bumps in the road. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon recently commented, "In the consumer platforms, we did some things right. We didn't execute on some others. We probably took on more than we should have, you know, too much, too quickly. I think we now have a very good deposits business. We're working on our cards platform, and I think the partnership with Apple is going to pay meaningful dividends for the firm."
