Aggressive ETF Portfolio Recap: Gold Junior Miners UP 18% In March

The 25 constituents in the munKNEE “Multi-bagger” Portfolio and the “Rags-to Riches” Portfolio were down 73%, on average, in 2022, but it is hoped that many of them will bounce back in 2023. Taking advantage of such an opportunity, however, would necessitate making 25 separate purchases as neither of the aforementioned Portfolios are tradable. To overcome that situation, however, there are several ETFs that include the constituents in those Portfolios and other downtrodden categories (cryptocurrencies and junior gold and silver miners) and they have been put into an Index named “An Aggressive ETF Portfolio for 2023“.

• are outperforming the S&P 500 by a 2-to-1 margin, on average, as it was only UP 5.2% in March and is UP only 7.0% YTD.

If you are bullish on any of the cannabis (both LPs and MSOs), psychedelic (all clinical-stage), cryptocurrency (specifically Bitcoin), and gold and silver junior miner categories going forward then you might want to buy one or more of the above ETFs. If you are not prepared to do so then keep abreast of future updates of munKNEE‘s  An Aggressive ETF Portfolio for 2023 to see if you missed out (or not).
