ETF Splits

Five Select Sector SPDR ETFs are undergoing a 2-for-1 split today, December 5, 2025.

The affected funds are XLK (Technology), XLY (Consumer Discretionary), XLE (Energy), XLU (Utilities), and XLB (Materials). Shares today will now trade at their post-split prices.

Option holders will receive 2X of the options they had at the pre-split price (albeit at the post-split strike price).

AS sometimes happens selling the position instead of these calls would have been prescient.

Interesting??

For example, ETF Database lists more than 260 single stock exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), most of them leveraged. ETF issuer Direxion alone offers 118 leveraged and inverse ETFs, many on single stocks. Forty of those funds apply three times leverage. There are even a few 4X ETFs for the most swashbuckling riverboat gamblers in the market.

Bloomberg recently reported that there are currently more than 4,300 ETFs, eclipsing the number of listed U.S. companies at roughly 4,200. ETF issuers have launched 640 new funds so far this year. There are about 16,000 ETFs, closed-end funds, and mutual funds in existence today.

There are way too many cryptocurrencies, too. According to CoinMarketCap, there are more than 22 million different crypto tokens of various types. The site actively tracks more than 39,000 tokens trading on 853 exchanges. The total market cap of all cryptos today is more than $4 trillion.

VIX not doing much but…

VIX not doing much but market is sure whippy. Wonder if time to be cautious?

Hmmmm??

The chart below shows the average lifespan of companies in the S&P 500 Index. In the 1970s, the average lifespan was 29 years. In the 2020s, it’s projected to be just over 18 years. This just highlights the amount of disruption and turnover among market leaders today.

Take a look…

So how do companies maintain their dominant positions?

Fortune says these leaders must be “champions of adaptability, nimbly responding to an ever-changing environment.” The magazine also cites authors Jim Collins and Jerry Porras’ bestseller Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies, which claims the best companies will “preserve the core and stimulate progress.”unnamed

Where have the MAG7 Gone

Since January 10, the cap-weighted $SPY has been up 2.6%, but the equal-weight $RSP has been up 5.5%. Similarly, the cap-weighted $QQQ is up +3.1%, but equal weight $QQQE is up 5%. These cap-weighted indexes are, therefore, masking strength in the other stocks, so it isn’t all about the Magnificent Seven this year. What this means is that stock picking may be back.
