Is Labor day another turning point in the markets like it has been the last three years or???
Everyone knows there is always a summer doldrum to deal with but all the bad news on Covid and world peace is already baked in we’re still seeing solid performance in the markets which historically have been a precursor of good times to come economically.

Labor Day has been a turning point in markets the last three years. Here’s what one strategist sees happening next.
Summertime markets can be a bit dysfunctional. Last week, for example, the top two sectors were the classically defensive utilities, and the highly cyclical materials. The total market volume on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq on Tuesday was 59% below the peak of the year, and 19% below the year’s average.
Tavis McCourt, institutional equity strategist at Raymond James, points out the last two years, there was a big value and cyclical bias in stock markets after Labor Day, and in 2018, markets basically collapsed after the summer drew to a close. “We believe as the chase for the end of the year begins, a renewed value/cyclical outperformance is likely along with higher 10-year Treasury yields, but like it has been for the past 18 months and will be for the foreseeable future, the virus is the boss,” he says.

Cap-Weighted vs. Equally Weighted S&P 500 ETFs – Which is Better?
Research Affiliates and Dimensional Fund Advisors have been among the esteemed research and investment firms proclaiming that equally weighted portfolios will deliver superior performance to portfolios weighted by market capitalization also known as cap-weighted. This article explores to what extent that has been true in recent years.
IVV is the iShares S&P 500 Index ETF. RSP, part of the INVESCO family, is an ETF holding the identical 500 stocks but with equally weighted positions. We begin our comparison January 1, 2004, the first full year that RSP was in existence and complete the analysis with the end-of-day prices of the ETFs on June 30, 2021. For an investor, these numbers reflect realizable returns. Indexes themselves are not directly accessible, so these ETFs are used instead.
