funny answers! happened to look at a State Street product today, an etf called PAWS or maybe PAWZ .. 27 stocks, 0.50 expense ratio, and total return for 5 years -30% (during a great bull market). State Street looks like a pretty egregious producer of these things, so trimming my small holding in THAT stock.
[ProShareshttps://www.proshares.com › our-etfs › strategic › pawz](https://www.proshares.com/our-etfs/strategic/pawz)PAWZ invests in a range of companies that stand to potentially benefit from the proliferation of *pet*
I thought that at it's recent lows, Chewy was just moving into buy territory. I personally believe it will move lower. Similar with the PAWZ etf, but it has a somewhat high expense ratio, so I won't buy unless it goes lower. Your thesis was common in 2020/21, so those stocks because super overvalued. I would argue they were largely overvalued in 2019, even. That said, I'd like to get into more pet stocks, but I will wait until I see value there.
Just go with PAWZ, it’s an ETF for the pet industry.
I keep 10-15% in $ROBO (companies/services for workplace automation - sensors, machine learning, robotics, etc) because I think the category will outperform the general market in the coming decades given trends already in motion. I put 3-4% in $PAWZ (pet care companies/services) which is basically a speculative hunch that the pet care industry isn't done becoming more bougie yet.

I also use industry-focused ETFs to get increased exposure to specific sectors without having to research and buy individual stocks. For instance, my wife purchased Vanguard's Healthcare focused one and I'm long on pet-oriented companies (though when I recently looked at PAWZ profolio, it is a bit pharma heavy).
When it's time to get out of oil and banks, you'll know. We aren't there yet, and it's not going to fall apart overnight. It'll be a long slow march to the bottom and you'll have plenty of time to get out without losing your shirt. The only reason to stay out of them for now is if you're motivated by ethics and willing to avoid an otherwise good investment on principle. You do want to also be invested in the sectors that may eventually displace them, and over time if the new sectors start to steadily outperform them, you'll reallocated bit by bit correspondingly. Industry ETFs are attractive options because they just require you to feel good about a particular technology or product category for very new industries, because you don't have to pick the winner out of all the small companies racing to become the dominant one. I think some important categories over the next 10-20 years will be: machine learning applications, 5G and beyond wireless standards, autonomous driving cars, and fintech. There are precious few individual companies in any of those categories that I'm willing to bet on as individuals. $PYPL for sure, they're the closest thing fintech has to a $V or $MC level titan. $ROKU as a gamble that I feel good about. I'm in $PAWZ because the amount of premium/niche pet products has been exploding, people are spending more money than ever on their pets, and a record % of Millennials - already a huge generation numerically - have decided to have pets instead of children. While they will cut back on spoiling their pets in a economic drawdown, spending won't collapse overnight because of how beloved pets are to the people driving growth in this category. So I don't necessarily think it's going to be a top performer forever, like oil and banks, I think it's got good medium-range prospects and will be easy to get out of with minimal losses when/if it draws down. I'm also invested in $WM because of the foresight they've shown in aggressively moving into biofuels, which is wringing yet more money out of trash they were already paid to collect, and positions them to increasingly benefit from the drawdown of fossil fuels in the future while still having an entirely stable, profitable business cranking along in the immediate.
$WM, $CWST, $CARR, and $PAWZ Thank me later
I am ~30% cash still. DCAing into PENN, CRSR, AMD, COIN, LUMN, ARKG, IHI, CIBR, HAIL, PAWZ, U
Ummm… how about an ETF with a hip, edgy, non-boomer ticker like HERO, PAWZ, or PICK?
VTI - I like that it includes mid cap and small cap, not just large. PAWZ- 2nd favorite because I'm a sucker for cute ticker symbols.
Just invest in PAWZ$ the pet care ETF
Full press release: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210804005940/en/ > BARK, a leading global brand for dogs, was added to PAWZ’s index, the FactSet Pet Care Index, on July 1, 2021.
Could’ve sworn this was done a couple days back. PAWZ already show BARK in their holdings. Is this just an official announcement?
PAWZ and ELAN look strong 🐾
> PAWZ is the first ETF that allows investors to capitalize on people’s passion for their pets. > - Seven out of 10 U.S. households today have pets, more than have children, and owners are providing pets with premium foods, luxury services, state-of-the-art health care, insurance policies and more. > - The global pet care industry could exceed $350 billion by 2027. Domestically, it has grown steadily every year since 2001, even during the Great Recession. > - PAWZ invests in a range of companies that stand to potentially benefit from the proliferation of pet ownership, and the emerging trends affecting how we care for our pets. https://www.proshares.com/funds/pawz.html
PAWZ aka ProShares Pet Care ETF added 500k shares of BARK today
I'm going to recommend the petcare related ETF $PAWZ . Up 5% past 3M and 56% in the year. More diversified holdings including veterinary healthcare brands (IDXX, Heska, Zoetis) as well as some big retailers like Nestle (Purina) and Chewy. WOOF is amongst its holdings, so you'll still be investing in the company.
PAWZ is a pretty interesting ETF, I'd suggest checking out its holdings.
So it's a knockoff Chewy? YTD -30%? My suggestion is to buy a pet-focused fund, PETZX (this might only be available to institutions or b/d's) PAWZ is the care for pets! Very big potentials as only 1% of owners insure their pets. With the rate at which humans are ripped off for coverage, this can be a massive field one day. My suggestion is to buy a pet-focused fund, PETZX (this might only be available to institutions or b/d's) PAWZ is the option available to all, but do your own research and make your own informed decision. Not financial advice. In general, I like the pet-care sector but a diversified selection would generate more consistent returns then one random pet stock that seems on it's ways to Bankruptcy.
Pet industry? Pet ownership was already on the rise the past 20 years with millennial having less children and adopting animals instead. Then Covid caused an enormous boost across the whole country. That plus the fact that people spend more and more on pets each year is why I put a chunk in the PAWZ etf.
My answer somewhat depends on whether you're just asking for markets that will post solid strong performance, or markets that are currently 1/100 of their potential size within the next few years and as a sector could outperform the market. One of my favorite stocks in my portfolio is Waste Management ($WM). There are few things in life more certain than the fact that people are going to make a lot of garbage, continuously, for the foreseeable future. They even pay a dividend that's pretty respectable for a company that doesn't sell oil, gas, or pharmaceuticals (current yield is 1.64%). I keep a good chunk of my portfolio in $WM because I feel confident that it will go up, but not because I expect it to wildly outperform the marketing. Self-driving cars are probably going to explode, making chips and AI and other related components a good bet. 5G is also likely to take off, and there are a bunch of infrastructure stocks related to that as well, ranging from companies that make 5G technology to realtors that lease their land holdings for 5G antennas. Of course, the tricky thing with these sectors is there are a lot of players and not all of them are going to be winners. A few will end up being wildly successful and the others will be left behind, like Alta-Vista and Yahoo were left behind by Google. To best ensure that you end up with a Google in your holdings and not a portfolio full of Alta-Vista, you need to buy into a LOT of companies, or an industry-focused ETF. PAWZ is a pet care industry ETF with good historical performance that I like. There's been a steady increase for years now in the amount of money people are willing to spend on their pets, from fancy expensive foods to luxury boarding to genetic testing and other advanced medical care that people never used to consider. If people remain prosperous that trend is likely to continue growing, but it's less of a sure thing - it could start seeing a steady decline if the economy sours, because indulging your pet is the kind of expense people cut back on when budgets get tight. That makes its future success uncertain, but I still think it has a limited risk of loss because any decline will be gradual - it won't tank overnight because people don't just stop spending money on their pets cold turkey.
VTI, VGT, VYM. I'd probably go 40% VTI, 40% VGT, and 20% VYM. If you are feeling a little frisky, I might throw in some ICLN and PAWZ as a smaller percentage of the portfolio.
PAWZ ETF has good exposure to chewy... again, I’m retarded though so there’s that
For anyone who wants broad exposure to the pet-care industry I would suggest $PAWZ ETF. Chewy is about 9% of the holdings, which are rebalanced monthly.
I went heavy into $PAWZ for this reason. Chewy is about 9% of the profile.
I think it all matters what you invested in. I've been DCA'ing into PAWZ ever since October. I think I was up about 16% a few weeks ago. In 3 weeks it's dropped to 2%...
I have a cash account on Webull and have that setting turned on. I'm made a few bucks in interest from my PAWZ shares being lent out.
If you want less risk and industry ETF, PAWZ is pretty good.
I am down about 4%, and that includes only getting 2x my money on the Lucid deal that was announced this week rather than the 4x I would have gotten last week. The ARK funds are full of speculative plays that make no money and/or are selling for very optimistic valuations. I have not checked out what is contained in PAWZ, but I expect CHWY is in there and that is a company that is losing money, growing quickly but still losing money. I would like to buy CHWY but it is too rich for my blood at the moment.
I only have VTI, ARKK, and PAWZ and my gains were $16k two weeks ago and $9k now. I'm down 40% in two weeks.
Any suggestions for ETFs? I have SPY , PAWZ and QQQ... looking to diversify
