Equal-Weight Indexing Has Been a Better Long-Term ETF Play
The biggest ETFs have been getting all the attention over the years as investors grouped into these traditional market capitalization-weighted plays, but the ones tracking an equal-weight indexing methodology have been quietly outperforming all along. The biggest and most popular ETFs on the market largely include those that track traditional market capitalization-weighting methodologies, or they weight component stocks based on the companies' market capitalization, so bigger companies have a greater say in the direction of the overall ETF's performance. In contrast, an equal-weighted indexing, like its naming suggests, would equally distribute the weight among all company holdings within the index, regardless of the market cap of each company.

2 Chip Stocks With at Least 25% Upside
While slightly lowering their price targets for Applied Materials Inc. ( AMAT) and Lam Research Corp. ( LRCX), Morgan Stanley analysts Joseph Moore and Craig Hettenbach are still overweight on the two chip-equipment makers and see at least 25% for both. Whether this is due to technical manufacturing issues or just Samsung looking to manage its supply in order to maintain higher prices, the result is the same—lower spending on WFE.

Why Second Half of 2018 Could Be Much Brighter for Gold
In the preceding parts of this series, we discussed how gold prices have remained weaker despite escalating trade war fears and geopolitical tensions.

Why Amazon’s Stock Can Rise 45%
After a more than six-fold gain in five years many on Wall Street are wondering just how much further Amazon.com Inc. ( AMZN) can rise. Revenues from advertising, cloud computing and the e-commerce giant’s Prime service could push the stock’s price to as high as $2,600, implying a 45% upside from Thursday’s close, according to Barron’s. While Morgan Stanley’s price target of $1,700 is below Amazon’s current stock price, the bank’s analysts do see a way in which that price could hit the significantly more optimistic forecast of $2,600.

Rising Inflation is Eroding Wage Gains
Rising prices for things like gasoline and housing are eating into U.S. consumers' wage increases, a potential threat to the U.S. expansion and the stock market. The Labor Department’s consumer-price index rose 2.9% from a year earlier in June, data showed Thursday. Economists fear the widening gap between inflation and wage growth will dampen consumer spending, which drives two thirds of the U.S. economy.

While the index for current conditions came in as expected, the sentiment over future business conditions and income prospects declined. Investors should note that consumer spending (XLY) constitutes more than two-thirds of the US economy.
