That some high risk stuff! Ain’t no body talking about a downturn. I mean this market has been straight up since October 2022. Don’t buy and hold these!!

I really like VFLO Victory Shares Large-cap/Mid-cap ETF. 1 yr. return 50% for an ETF. Very nice! It pairs well with SMH, SOXX or XLK, since it doesn’t duplicate all of the typical tech like NVDA, APPL, MSFT, and so on.

I am sure you have heard "past returns do not guarantee future returns". There is a good reason they say it.

A few red flags: * There is no “as of” date. Five-year returns change daily. Current official figures do not match several numbers shown. For example, SMH reported a 33.87% five-year annualized return as of April 30, 2026, not 40.89%, while VTI reported 12.89% as of May 31. * It is not even ranked correctly. SCHG at 13.93% is placed below funds showing 13.24% and 13.63%. * Half the list consists of near-duplicates: * QQQ and QQQM track the same Nasdaq-100. * IVV, VOO, and SPYM track the S&P 500. * GLD and IAU both track physical gold. * VUG, SCHG, SPYG, IVW, and IWF are variations of large-cap growth. * ITOT and VTI are essentially total-market competitors. * It shows reward without showing risk. SMH currently holds only about 26 positions, with nearly 23% in Nvidia alone. That tremendous performance came with tremendous concentration.
