Mike Larson | Editor-in-Chief

The stock market is closed for Good Friday, so there will be no Market Minute column today. Instead, check out my MoneyShow video update on the four key market trends you should watch once trading resumes.

• VNM: Buy this Vietnam Fund Before it Gets Away from You
  👉️ TICKER: VNM
  I think if we told people in 1970s America that one of the most promising places you could put your money was Vietnam, they’d call you nuts. Fast forward over the decades, and I’m going to show you why the VanEck Vietnam ETF (VNM) is a great trade here, notes Sean Brodrick, editor at Weiss Ratings Daily.

• STWD: Target this REIT Amid Unfounded Private Credit Worries
  👉️ TICKER: STWD
  Private lending fears have spread far beyond the handful of companies that could be affected if there are actual problems with the $1.5 trillion that has been issued as private loans to corporations. I recommend you take advantage of that by targeting Starwood Property Trust (STWD), advises Tim Plaehn, editor of The Dividend Hunter.
