Is This The Best Small-Cap ETF To Buy? Analyst Weighs In

We recently published Top 10 Trending Stocks and ETFs as Analyst Predicts $9 Trillion Productivity Gains Due to AI. iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (NYSEARCA:IJR) is one of the top trending stocks.

Bill Baruch, founder and President of both Blue Line Capital and Blue Line Futures, said in a recent program on CNBC that he was investing in IJR. Here is why:

“So the SPY and the iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (NYSEARCA:IJR) they sold off pretty sharply on Friday. I was really surprised to not see any follow-through to start this week response against the 50-day moving average. And then we had Fed Chair Powell on Tuesday who comes in and talks about an endgame to QT. So I think right there you saw the Russell 2000 respond. The iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (NYSEARCA:IJR) is a little a little more slimmer of a of an index and so we leaned into that potentially on the week you have a breakout in in the small caps.”
