If there’s one commodity that’s on every investor’s mind as of late, it has to be Bitcoin. Bitcoin has been making huge waves in both the market and the news. Adding to the excitement is the recent introduction of Bitcoin ETFs, including one that recently amassed over 200,000 BTC in assets — the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), writes Jim Woods, editor of The Deep Woods.
The S&P 500 surged to all-time highs last week above 5,100, thanks primarily to the Nvidia (NVDA) earnings explosion. With last week’s gains, the S&P 500 has now rallied more than 25% since the October lows in just over four months. Certainly, that is impressive and very beneficial for our accounts. But let’s talk about what to expect NEXT, notes Jim Woods, editor of The Deep Woods.
Quality is a metric that applies to many things: The making of a piece of furniture or a new car, the beauty and technique of a piece of artwork and, of course, the soundness of one’s investments. In the case of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), few ETF managers know this better than those who lead the Invesco S&P 500 Quality ETF (SPHQ), counsels Jim Woods, editor of The Deep Woods.
Artificial intelligence (AI) was all the rage in 2023 as both hardware and software developers raced to introduce new consumer-oriented platforms in this field. This AI race will have multiple winners, and most of the biggest winners will likely be found in one specialized exchange-traded fund (ETF) that is the easiest and best way to own AI – the Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (AIQ), suggests Jim Woods, editor of The Deep Woods.
