Investing in 2022 - Need Ideas

With now around 7 rate hikes priced in the stock market, what sectors or geographies are you allocating to in your PA's? Sell-side research seems to agree that emerging markets cheap which I agree with and am adding there... bringing my PA to about 45% international. I will also be putting a decent chunk in private RE. 

U.S. valuations especially in R1000/Nasdaq still seem absurd to me and I believe in active management even in efficient markets. I think this beta rally climate is over and you need to find good stock pickers going forward. 

Any good ideas in a high inflation, rising rate environment? Would love some specific products (prob not leveraged ETFs).

What do you mean by emerging markets? You need to be more precise, EM is basically everything outside of the West. That's not very helpful to buy stocks on a mere geographical basis, it's more relevant to look at promising industries and then determine the geographic area where their growth is more likely to stem from.

what are you using for private RE, your own/syndicated deals?

In 2022 I'm going to continue my foray into active investing, particularly with options. At worst it's a fun hobby and I like all the numbers/probability associated with it. I use a straightforward approach around IV and Theta.

Having said that, I am a little skewed towards $GLD. How that has been basically range-bound for the length of the pandemic is beyond me. Planning to do a lot around it in 2022.
