Investors chasing market themes are learning a familiar lesson: a hot investment doesn't necessarily make for a profitable one.

"Sell in May" failed badly in 2026 as tech, space and digital economy ETFs surged on AI optimism, strong earnings and easing geopolitical fears.

Exchange traded fund inflows have topped $750 billion in 2026. This puts the industry on pace to challenge the $1.5 trillion annual record set last year, Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, told host Nate Geraci on this week's ETF Prime.

April's ETF winners surged on oil rally, AI boom and strong earnings. Hydrogen, semis, AI, meme and cannabis funds led the charge.

Meme stocks are darlings of retail traders and go viral on social media. They typically are small, relatively illiquid — and unprofitable.

ETFs rallied last week on easing Iran war fears, strong earnings and crypto buzz, even as Strait of Hormuz risks linger.

Over the last few years, the market has seen a number of trends that have led to huge market moves.

Greenwich, Connecticut--(Newsfile Corp. - January 20, 2026) - Tuttle Capital Management, a leading provider of thematic and alternatives ETFs, today announced the launch of the Tuttle Capital Meme Stock Income Blast ETF (CBOE: MEMY), now trading on the CBOE. MEMY is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide current income and exposure to the equity performance of "Meme Stocks"-companies that gain significant popularity among retail investors through social media platforms-using an options-based strategy designed to harvest option premium while maintaining equity-like exposure to these high-velocity companies.

Silver, gold & platinum ETFs (SLVP, SILJ, GOEX) crushed it in 2025, while MEME & VIXY lagged.
