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%.

IJR Vs. IWM: IJR Is A Better Bet For The Return Of Small-Cap Stocks
Since my last writings, the latest dividend declarations and also interest rate changes have made small-cap one of the most attractive market sectors. I thus see attractive valuation in both IJR and IWM. However, a few differences between these funds make me prefer IJR.
