DON’T Buy These ETFs in 2026 — The Brutal Truth Nobody Tells You

🏆 FS Insights (by Fundstrat) - Invaluable Knowledge: https://tinyurl.com/fsinsights

Most people think ETFs are the “safe” way to invest. But in 2026, some of the most popular ETFs can quietly wreck your timeline through hidden concentration, capped upside, or brutal drawdowns.

In this video, you’ll learn 3 ETF categories you should NOT buy blindly in 2026:

“Diversified” index ETFs that are secretly top-heavy (market-cap weighting risk)

High-income covered-call ETFs that can trade away long-term growth (example: JEPI-style strategy)

Thematic “moonshot” ETFs that can behave like high-volatility trades (example: ARKK-style drawdowns)

This is education, not financial advice. Always do your own research and consider your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.
