The Smartest Vanguard ETF to Buy With $1,000 Right Now
The Fed, oil prices, and corporate earnings are the catalysts putting this Vanguard fund in a prime position to outperform.
Overview
The stock market has been changing in 2026. The Magnificent Seven stocks are collectively lagging the S&P 500 year-to-date, while small-cap, international, value, and dividend stocks are all outperforming.
That more defensive pivot might make some investors nervous, but I'm not sure there's reason for concern yet. The economy has been in good, if not great, shape. Earnings growth is expected to be strong for at least the next couple of quarters. If inflation doesn't spiral higher, the markets may be able to handle a potential rate hike just fine.
Details
It may be time to be more cautious with tech and growth stocks, but I believe the environment is setting up nicely for the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (NYSEMKT: VYM).
