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. I ran the 2025-2026 season through the FutureSports methodology. The index rankings and the NHL standings line up about 91% of the time. Most stats carry equal positive and negative attribution, but penalties and clinches do not. That one-way scoring drags the whole league about 2% lower by season end.
I reiterate a Hold rating on the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLC) due to lackluster technicals and weak relative performance. XLC's valuation has improved with low P/E ratios, but long-term EPS growth remains modest at 6.22%, resulting in a PEG above 2.0x. Heavy concentration in GOOGL and META (36% combined) means sector performance hinges on these names, which currently lack near-term catalysts.
The interest rate expectations have had anything but smooth sailing in 2026. The year kicked off with an anticipation of a rate cut, which gave way to inflationary pressure and a rate hike.
