Skip Reddit, check out the iShares small cap ETF: Strategist

There are a lot of ways to evaluate whether or not an asset is worth adding to your portfolio. One thing to look at is valuation. In Monday's edition of Good Buy or Goodbye, Public Ventures President and Chief Market Strategist Lou Basenese explains why he likes iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) and is avoiding Reddit (RDDT), based in part on their valuations. The iShares Russell 2000 ETF is "a great way to play the whole basket of small-cap stocks," Basenese says. He also likes the ETF's technicals and says the "setup's right" for small caps to see some big gains. Basenese does, however, caution that higher-for-longer interest rates could be bad for small caps if they go on for too long. One stock Basenese is skipping is Reddit. Basenese thinks the company is going to struggle to turn a profit. He also doesn't like that Reddit doesn't really own any patents and he thinks the stock is overvalued.

I'm definitely looking to sell premium." Watch the video above to find out how McLaughlin is using ETFs to "express" his bets.

ETF inflows 50/50 between equity and fixed-income in 2023: Strategist

Investors seek out certainty in an uncertain market alongside heavy speculation over the Fed's year-end interest rate outlook. VettaFi Vice Chairman Tom Lydon joins Yahoo Finance's Rachelle Akuffo to detail his ETF picks to circumvent interest rate concerns, while also differentiating active and passive ETFs. "Even though today there's $6.2 trillion in money market funds getting about 5%, when [interest] rates cut, that yield is going to be cut dramatically," Lydon details the overhang the Fed's interest rate strategy could have. "And they don't want to be stuck on the sidelines, they'd rather be longer duration — areas like corporate credit, even high-yield."
