Super pumped my request was chosen! Bummed XLG didn’t get much love, but after hearing why, I get why. I always heard 3x funds were not meant to be long holds, but Dave has me thinking about them again 🤔
Love your show, Ron. My only issue is with Dave. He simply uses your platform as an infomercial and can't wait to read his prepared statement about how his funds are the answer for EVERY battle. As you can see by the other comments when he's a judge, I'm certainly not alone in being annoyed. The other judges are tremendous. Looking forward to your book and a prosperous 2024.
Thank you mttm for being a loyal viewer of #ETFBattles and for your feedback. While I don't always agree with Dave's takes, he pushed me to introduce wild cards, he accepted my invitation to be a judge on our very first episode in 2020 - when others in the ETF industry said "absolutely not" b'ecause ETF Battles was new and unknown. Moreover, I've known Dave longer than any other judge, that's 10+ years and counting. Having been in the financial/investing landscape almost 30 years and at one time running my own RIA practice, I have yet to meet anyone that manages ETF portfolios with leveraged controls like Dave. He's an outlier. I also like the fact that he's capable of defending his philosophy and he's even written a book to back up his arguments. In any case, having a great rotation of judges gives everyone (including me) fresh perspectives. The one thing we all have in common is that were different. Thanks again for your comments, your viewership and may you have a safe and happy entry into 2024! Ron
Great one again, Ron. I don't think anyone can go wrong with any of those ETFs. Staying invested is what saved my bacon. Staying invested has worked every time since I entered the markets in 1987. Have a great 2024 everyone!
Never stop investing. Or staying invested. Solid advice Dave. Thank you for adding to our community with your personal, time-tested experience(s). And have a safe and relaxing holiday. See you on the next episode! Ron
Enjoyed having you along for the ride this year Boss. Looking forward to Season 5 of #ETFBattles in 2024! Have a safe holiday and see you on the other side amigo. Ron
Joanne: We've seen a number of recent ETF requests with IYW popping up regularly. Glad we were able to do this analysis. I appreciate having you as a regular viewer and commentator on our channel. May profitable results and good health be yours now and ahead! Ron
Ron, great to see you’re still running ETF Battles and have gained the great Direxion as a sponsor! They’re all I use now, as I exclusively swing trade SOXL and SOXS. Also awesome seeing Dave again, the Lord of Leveraged ETFs! Hope you’ve had a terrific holiday season!
Frederick! Glad you're still watching and YES! #ETFBattles is still growing, Season 5 in 2024 is coming and Direxion has been a great partner. Send us your ETF Battles requests...and please stay in touch. May good health and prosperity be yours in 2024. Best, Ron
Both QQQ and QQQM follow the same Nasdaq index....but QQQM has a lower expense ratio. Investors that use options strategies like covered calls may still prefer QQQ, despite the higher expense ratio, because of a more robust options market on calls/puts for QQQ. Straight ahead buy and hold investors that don't care about options may prefer QQQM. Hope that helps! Ron
AWESOME to hear. Send us a photo @ETFguide on our X-feed and tag us, if you can. Thanks for the excellent ETF Battle suggestion. Have a safe and healthy 2024! Ron
Because we do audience requested suggestions on #ETFBattles and OEF was not an ETF ticker requested by JujuBudda, the viewer who made this episode's ETF matchup request. Best, Ron

Happy New year to all of you from Egypt
Great timing ⏰️. I have had my mind on IWY lately.

Happy holidays to my favorite Judge Dave Krences
Happy holidays Ron to you and your family and all our judges and best of luck to the year 5th and many years to com
Thank you Ebrahim! It's been wonderful having you with us all year long...watching from the Middle East! Warm regards, Ron
Good one can you guys do VUG vs QQQM vs FTEC?
You got it. Thank you Josh for watching ETF Battles. Ron
You got it Josh. Thanks for watching ETF Battles. Ron
With marijuana rescheduling on the horizon, it might be time to see an updated cannabis ETF battle. MSOS vs CNBS vs TOKE
Thank you Henry, it's been a while since we did a cannabis ETF contest! We're overdue. Best, Ron
What three ETF would you structure in a Roth IRA. For 25-year-old who's barely starting
Has a CLO ETF battle been done before? If not, then is JAAA vs. CLOA vs. ICLO possible?
Thanks and love these battles!
GREAT! Thank you for the ETF Battle suggestion.
Not predetermined. I bet TQQQ is someone’s winner. 😂 3:14
Can we please do a battle for small cap stocks like
Smlf vs fsmd vs xshq factor small cap stocks
Vb vs iwm
Request for a ETF battle would be QQQ versus SCHG versus VGT
Thank you Missouri! Got it. Best, Ron
Check their page I just watched that one.
I agree with Kreinces in that a higher tech concentration is the way to go. Great show Ron!
Thank you Jonathan, nice to have you watching #ETFBattles. Season 5 in 2024 is coming! Can't wait. RD
Hey whatvis the difference in QQQM and QQQ and QQMG? it looks to be the same as far as holdings and growth
Both QQQ and QQQM follow the same Nasdaq index....but QQQM has a lower expense ratio. Investors that use options strategies like covered calls may still prefer QQQ, despite the higher expense ratio, because of a more robust options market on calls/puts for QQQ. Straight ahead buy and hold investors that don't care about options may prefer QQQM. Hope that helps! Ron
Still wearing my ETF Battles shirt. Happy new year.
How about doing URA vs URNM vs HURA ?
AWESOME to hear. Send us a photo @ETFguide on our X-feed and tag us, if you can. Thanks for the excellent ETF Battle suggestion. Have a safe and healthy 2024! Ron
@@etfguide I would send a photo, but I am only on Truthsoc. X is cancer.
Jpst vs icsh vs gsy
A short-duration fixed income ETF contest? Love it. Thank you Miguel and have a safe landing into '24 amigo. Ron
@@etfguide thank you and I'm glad you like the idea
See you all in 2024
Please if we can do a battle for long term bond ETFs
Like BlV vs. TLT
Solid ETF Battle suggestion. Thank you Ebrahim and have a relaxing holiday. See you on the next episode! Best, Ron
Why your did not include OEF (top 100)?
Because we do audience requested suggestions on #ETFBattles and OEF was not an ETF ticker requested by JujuBudda, the viewer who made this episode's ETF matchup request. Best, Ron
Mystery Battle QGRW vs Winn vscQQMG
Looks like an eclectic ETF Battle that investing nerds (like me) would enjoy! Best, Ron
Amazing
Xlg vs igpt plzzzzz😢😢😢😢
VOO is always the long term winner
