The U.S. stock market really is domestic — barely over a quarter of revenue from America's top 500 companies comes from abroad.

Year to date, the Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF and the Vanguard Information Technology ETF have more than doubled the S&P 500's return. The Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF is an actively-managed fund that provides exposure to stocks with strong recent performance.

The pace of earnings reports is heating up. Notable stocks on deck to release second-quarter earnings next week include Apple AAPL-1.30%, Amazon.com AMZN-4.57%, Chipotle Mexican Grill CMG-0.59%, Meta Platforms META-3.36%, Microsoft MSFT-2.24%, PayPal Holdings PYPL+0.88%, Qualcomm QCOM-2.57% and Starbucks SBUX-0.74%.

An S&P 500 ETF is likely to lose value when the market tanks. That doesn't mean it's not a good long-term investment.

Options traders are seeking clues on whether more volatility may be ahead.

Rising Treasury yields are weighing on equities as the S&P 500 breaks key technical levels, while charts suggest the 10-year yield could climb back toward 5%.

The S&P 500 falls as $100 oil and a 4.70% 10-year yield lift the VIX, reviving Fed hike fears and broad stock market selling.

Statistically, investing as much as you can in the S&P 500 as early as possible tends to produce the best returns. That's because the stock market goes up more often than not.
