This is notably different from the S & P 500 and Nasdaq Composite , which are weighted based on market cap. Bank of America ETF strategist Jared Woodard listed the Invesco S & P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) as a top trade for 2023. The fund had a total return of -11.6% in 2022, meaning its decline was significantly less than the S & P 500. After tech stocks underperformed again in December, value stocks have now made up a lot of ground in the major indexes. However, equal-weighted funds still give investors more exposure to value stocks and areas like energy and materials than broad index funds.

Crowding in S&P 500 index funds make the index vulnerable to volatility, Savita Subramanian says. The Bank of America equity chief currently sees the S&P 500 at 4,000 by year-end 2023. "The S&P 500 is one of the most liquid equity benchmarks — it's made up of the largest stocks in the world," she continued. "Given this crowding into the S&P index, we've actually seen the S&P 500 exhibit higher realized volatility than the Russell 2000 or less historically-liquid benchmarks. She then sees the market stabilizing and the S&P 500 recovering to around 4,000 by the end of 2023.

The pain for 'new' economy sectors has likely just begun," Woodard wrote. Another option is to shift away from large cap stocks in general with a small cap value fund like the Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund (VBR) . "The past two decades of large cap growth outperformance have been an anomaly. "Annual dividend growth averaged 6.2% between 1970 and 1980 after an overvalued, concentrated market corrected sharply," Woodard wrote. Similarly, dividends grew by 6.2% on average between 2000 and 2007 while annual price returns averaged just 2.5%," Woodard wrote.

The S & P 500 has been down every day this week, falling 4.6%. The underperformance of the big cap tech stocks is the main reason the equal-weighted S & P 500 (RSP) is only down 3.1% this week, versus the 4.6% decline in the S & P 500, which is weighted by market capitalization. Bulls can take some comfort in the fact that the bulk of the blame for the weakness in the S & P 500 this week has been a re-rating of the 2023 earnings growth for technology stocks, especially the biggest names. The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund that tracks the S & P 500 Tech Index is lower by 8.3% this week, the steepest sector decline in the S & P 500. Other sectors are either up this week (energy) or down a lot less, 1%-2% (utilities, industrials, health care, materials).

☆ ANALIZĂ | Nicolae Țîbrigan: Numărul populației scade iar numărul alegătorilor crește - paradox moldovenesc

În mai puțin de o săptămână, alegătorii din Republica Moldova vor fi chemați la vot pentru a alege viitorul președinte. Această creștere constantă, spun experții Promo-Lex, ridică întrebări la capitolul buna funcționare a registrului alegătorilor, în calitatea listelor electorale și, în consecință, în rezultatul scrutinului. Atunci specialiștii au constatat o creștere a numărului de alegători cu 24.259 de persoane. Pe de altă parte, din această cauză, alegătorii moldoveni din stânga Nistrului sunt deconectați de la procesele politice din Republica Moldova. Metoda a fost testată la alegerile parlamentare din 2019 și a asigurat un scor favorabil Partidului Socialiștilor.
