IWM Vs. IWMI: Why IWMI Makes Better Sense
I see a more favorable return/risk profile from IWMI than IWM due to IWM's unusually high implied volatility. The current IV underlying IWM creates favorable prices for IWMI's options. As a reflection, IWMI currently offers a 15.41% dividend yield, more than 2x higher than its historical average.

Key Stock Market ETFs, Bitcoin Creating A Story
This past week I wrote a lot about the relationship between silver, gold, bonds, the dollar and S&P 500. I also spoke in the media about those relationships as they are key right now to ascertain whether we are remaining in stagflation, heading towards recession, or resolving the uncertainty thereby seeing our way to growth.

IWM Is No Longer A Buy
I am downgrading the Russell 2000 ETF to Neutral, as it currently trades at 193.50 amidst market volatility. Small-cap stocks were in a bear market but showed potential for a bounce, with IWM initially projected to rebound to 192.79 or higher. Despite the rally, I am less inclined to be long on small-caps and see significant risks, including a potential recession and massive federal debt.

America First: This Is Starting To Look Playable For Indexes
America faces significant debt refinancing in 2025, with $8.2 trillion needing turnover, pressuring the Fed to cut rates to avoid recession. Leveraged ETFs and hedge funds are driving market volatility, with recent massive sell-offs due to margin calls and risk management pressures. Current market conditions are reminiscent of the 2018 trade war, with tariffs and strategic moves impacting valuations and investor sentiment.

Small-Cap Stocks Are A Buy
I remain bearish on stocks but hold a leveraged ETF for the iShares Russell 2000, which is in a bear market, down 21% from its peak. Small-cap stocks have underperformed large-caps, especially during recessions, but technical analysis suggests potential short-term gains from gap-fills and Fibonacci retracements. I favor ETFs like IWM and Vanguard Small Cap Value Index for small-cap exposure, highlighting their low management fees and diversified holdings.

6 Dividend Growth Stocks I'm Buying As Tariffs Crush The Economy
President Trump's tariffs are not negotiating tactics, but a protectionist move aimed at reversing globalization and boosting U.S. manufacturing, causing market selloffs. The tariffs will harm U.S. consumers and businesses, raising prices and potentially leading to a recession, with an average household impact of $3,800 annually. Big Tech stocks have been hit the hardest by the tariff threat, with the Nasdaq down nearly 16% and the Magnificent 7 down over 20%.
