Tesla is down on the year, yet two ETFs that both own the stock are having completely opposite experiences in 2026. The reason has nothing to do with the stock itself and everything to do with a single number buried in each fund's filing.

September may bring seasonal volatility, but strong earnings and key growth themes could support these ETFs.
Trump's 90-day beef tariff waiver could lower costs for fast-food chains and meat distributors, benefiting ETFs with exposure to these companies.
Volatility Shares and Roundhill have both filed for 32 NHL team ETFs. I think investors, hockey fans, and gamblers should avoid all of them, whichever issuer wins.
