In this episode of ETF Spotlight, Dr. Derek Horstmeyer discusses the effectiveness of dollar-cost averaging in volatile markets and the outperformance of bonds during economic uncertainty. Consumer sentiment surveys suggest a darkening outlook, leading investors to consider safe-haven assets like gold. Dr. Horstmeyer also analyzes the performance of mega-cap stocks like NVIDIA, Apple, and Microsoft.

As consumer sentiment sours, investors are turning to cash and gold ETFs like GLDM and IAUM for protection against economic downturns. Recent market trends suggest that once a stock-market trend is identified and named, its best gains are typically behind it. This raises important questions for investors considering mega-cap stocks like NVIDIA, Apple, and Microsoft.
