Talk about a friendly market. Not even an uptick in inflation or lofty stock valuations could keep the bulls at bay in the first quarter. The S&P 500 clung to record highs and notched its strongest first quarter since 2019. Markets rode out a decisive uptrend, though the moves were fairly “fat and flat” (broadly higher but still range-bound). Here are some of the more popular ETFs in the first quarter.Staying in the GameIt should come as no surprise that big, broad-based index equity ETFs managed to come ou ...

Torsten Asmus The ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA:ARKK) is profiting greatly from the rise of Bitcoin and the resurrection of the cryptocurrency market. The ARK Innovation ETF shot to fame during the pandemic which is when the ETF’s aggressive bets on a small number of high-potential stocks of companies in disruptive industries paid off big time. Since then, however, the exchange-traded fund has struggled with its concentrated investment approach and produced rather disappointing annual returns. Most recen ...

adventtr/E+ via Getty Images The iShares Exponential Technologies ETF (NASDAQ:XT) continues to be one of my go-to holdings for several reasons: 1. Market conditions are so wacky (technical term there) that I feel the need to have a representative position that grabs its fair share of a potential "moonshot" up move which could be either the blowoff phase of a dot-com like ending (as in 2000) or a name I'll keep adding to if I see more evidence of a 1995-1999 type of new long-term up leg. I may be a risk- ...

Marco Bello The rally since the bottom in US equities since October has been absolutely epic.

This is one of those bull market rallies that takes no prisoners and just keeps going, despite conditions being overbought and any number of fundamental factors saying we need a breather. One name that I’ve been bullish on that ...

Unless you’re heavily invested in some of the hot semiconductor stocks or the more magnificent members of the Magnificent Seven (perhaps soon to be called the Fantastic Four), odds are you may be trailing the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 on a year-to-date basis. Indeed, it’s nothing to beat yourself up over. Instead, it may be an opportunity to re-evaluate your portfolio’s overall exposure.
