As I'm writing this, all three major stock market indexes are sitting at or near their all-time highs. However, it's important for investors to realize a couple of things.
First, much of the gains in the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq in particular have been fueled by large-cap growth stocks, particularly the mega-caps in the "Magnificent Seven." Second, many excellent businesses in the small-cap and value stock categories are still looking rather attractive.
One excellent way to play the disconnect between small- and large-cap stocks, as well as between growth and value, is with the Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF (NYSEMKT: VBR) . Here's why this could be a market-beating ETF in 2024 and beyond, and why I'm planning to add shares aggressively to my own portfolio this spring.
