We maintain a Strong ETF ChartList for our EarningsBeats.com members.  We're updating this ChartList now and there will be roughly 90 ETFs on this latest version.  One of those ETFs is the Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund ETF (VXF).  This ETF seeks to track a benchmark index that measures the investment return of small- and mid-capitalization stocks.  This particular ETF is widely-diversified, but I like a few of its largest holdings - TSLA, ZM, SQ, and UBER.  All four of these stocks are or have been leaders throughout the pandemic and continue to look solid relative to their peers.  While these four stocks only account for 10% of the entire ETF, I like the fact that this ETF is concentrated in mostly small- and mid-cap stocks.  These two asset classes have been leading U.S. equities higher.  Here's the current chart of VXF:

 

 

On Tuesday, January 19th, at 4:30pm ET, I'll be unveiling our next Model ETF Portfolio.  With just one day left in the current quarter, our Model ETF Portfolio has gained 15.27%, more than 5 percentage points ahead of the benchmark S&P 500, which has risen 9.96% over the same period.  I'm looking forward to establishing our next ETF Portfolio and I hope you'll join me on Tuesday!
