That isn't the only reason - compliance keeps them listed, but by doing a 20 for 1 RSP, they can then sell more shares to you lot. They are about to be out of cash.
This heavy sarcasm might be why IWM/RSP are struggling lately, but it has nothing to do with tech, which has tried to dance to the tune of its own beat. This is PLTR/crypto centric. Believe it or not, although it's an unpopular opinion, but Trump was a sideshow initially earlier this year. AI selloffs can be as brutal as this and you even saw a couple with Biden.
No, just about flat to nothing for second half of the year. Look at RSP for that one, the equal weight spy
#In the last 3 months SPY is up 8% but equal index version (RSP) is up only 1.5%. LMAO🤌
RSP is showing what everyone already knows is happening
#Best strategy is to go long SPY and short individual stocks. SPY outperforms most stocks on most days LMAO🤌 #Also long SPY, short equal weight (RSP) LMAO🤌
RSP is probably the closest one I can think of hand. Its the SP-500 at equal representation rather than by market cap. Disclaimer: I do not own any RSP nor do I plan on it.
VOO up +0.06%, RSP down -0.78% You could count the number of green stocks outside the tech and tech adjacent sectors: https://finviz.com/map.ashx
RSP down .7 nasdaq up .7. Gona crash lmao.
Mostly SPY and RSP (s&p 500 equal weight). Now that I have a lot in those, I’m only adding to VGT.
I think ticker RSP is a weighted S&P index fund. That may be another way to hedge a massive retraction of the Mag 7
Lol yea....switch to equal weight You do realise that equal weight rarely ever outperforms SPY? Have you seen the chart for RSP? It basically hasn't made a new ATH while SPY pumped But yea....think of yourself as some investing genius and switch to equal weight
Probably. This hasn't been a good week for RSP and maybe QQEW, haven't checked. The Nasdaq throwing a big gain in the trash after a 1.5%ish loss yesterday ain't a great look, but it has decidedly NOT been tech that has been weak.
What etf did you buy? RSP is nice but a high expense fee.
I've been thinking about this exact same thing tbh. Been in SPY for years and watching NVDA basically carry my entire portfolio feels wierd as hell 📈 The concentration risk is getting crazy. I mean when 7 companies make up like 30% of the index, that's not really "diversification" anymore right? I've been eyeing RSP (equal weight) for a while but keep chickening out because momentum has been so strong in mega caps. But your right - it's not sustainable. I remember when everyone said the same thing about the Nifty Fifty in the 70s. Different names, same story. I'm thinking maybe start with like 20-30% in equal weight and see how it feels? Not trying to time it perfectly but this concentration is making me nervous. What's your timeline for switching?
I did this a few months ago. Started to put money into RSP.
Equal weight will get destroyed for the next few months. Only MAGS or the nasdaq will go up, because media is pushing 7 stocks to the public. Look at the outsides moves happening on stocks that still beat but don’t say AI. Duo -10% Adobe -5% CMG -20% CSGP -17% Deckers -15% RSP is not safer.
RSP is up SPY/QQQ are down. Retail getting dumped on let's go!
I mean honestly saying it's happening is a huge statement from fucking JPOW. Wtf is he supposed to say after that? "Yes, the poors are fucked. We must start the revolution of the proletariat." He said the K shaped recovery is real. Short RSP and long the mag7. Short the Russel and long the mag7. Short the working class. That's a big statement from JPOW.
Dude I mentioned that yesterday. SPY up over 2% in 3 days while RSP down over 2% on the flip side. Ridiculous
Look at SPY and then look at RSP 💀 Not long left bulllas
Well, I found my answer today as to why the equal weight SPX has been weak lately, it's now down since Wednesday last week while even the not as tech reliant Dow is still up 2% for now here (though it can be dragged higher by the tech names underneath). If I were more active, I'd probably buy puts on RSP as a hedge as it just hasn't acted well for at least 6 weeks.
This has to do with federal regulations. In Canada, the only options allowed in registered accounts (RSP, RIF, RESP, TFSA, etc) are buying long calls, long puts, and covered calls. You cannot do write puts nor do spreads.
The choice isn’t expensive US large cap stocks vs. cash. The alternative is buying almost anything other than the market-cap weighted S&P 500. Some great options include: international stocks (VXUS), small-cap value (AVUV, AVDV), sector ETFs where reasonably valued (e.g. health care RSPH), an S&P 400 mid cap ETF, an equal-weighted S&P 500 ETF like RSP.
The ‘RSP’ is the equal weight s and p it’s up 8% ytd
Market internals are pretty weak today actually. Masked by the Mags. The equal-weight sp500 etf RSP is down -.75%
? There is no pullback. Yes, it's a narrow market today and I'm down on the day (and others may be as well), but tech continues to really cook. I don't know what would cause the big ex-tech names to be able to come back to life, but what I do know is it won't be rate cuts doing it. This has actually been a thing since arguably the rate cut as RSP is flattish lately.
The valuations of tech are high, yes. But they’ve got us coming and going and they’ve bribed the US government to get off their case about antitrust this and that. If you want to put new money into RSP, or move money into RSP, or TLT, go for it. Not an awful idea. The reason I like the S and P 500 as an instrument is that the front runners are often overvalued, dumb and hyped, in my lifetime. But winners change, and just tracking a basket of winners with little bits of cash on the regular works. Also, I worked for the FAANGs, so those profits are my unpaid wages there.
The equal-weight S&P 500 (RSP) is basically flat since a year ago. Market breadth has been poor.
Nice mix, but there’s heavy large-cap overlap (RSP/SCHD/QQQM) and no small-cap or emerging exposure, so decide if those tilts fit your risk and consider either a simpler cap-weighted core (total US + total ex-US) or adding EM/bonds. Set target weights, write a short IPS with a yearly rebalance rule you can stick to, and if you want a checklist you can find more at mr-profit com.
I’d ditch RSP and SCHD. If you don’t wanna use an S&P 500 index fund, I’d go w VUG to cover growth and SPYV or VTV to cover value. FNDX and FNDF have great track records if you want to mix in fundamental analysis ETFs, but their OER is a bit higher at 0.25% if you’re cost conscious.
RSP is a decent hedge against hyper inflation or a market drop. Or not overpriced real estate in an area with real demand such as Washington coast. Better than sky high gold or fiat or worthless crypto.
compare your holdings to 100% VT and there is little difference in performance. also: SCHD + QQQM performs more or less like 100% SPY. regarding terminology, as *Investopedia* notes, a barbell is "a mix of high-risk and no-risk assets ... ignoring the mid-range of mildly risky assets." this is not the case with SCHD + QQQM. barbell assets typically are not highly correlated, also not the case here. RSP performs notably poorly in terms of risk vs return.
This is actually a really well-thought-out portfolio 👏 You’ve done a great job blending growth, quality, and international diversification while keeping simplicity and balance. The barbell approach between QQQM and SCHD is smart — it captures momentum without leaning too heavy on tech. RSP also does an underrated job of mitigating top-heavy risk from the S&P 500, so nice call there. If I were to tweak anything, it’d just be small refinements: 1. Consider a small-cap or emerging markets slice (like AVUV or VWO, maybe 5–10%) to capture long-term factor diversification and global growth outside developed markets. 2. Think about tax efficiency and rebalancing frequency. SCHD throws off solid dividends, so if this is in a taxable account, just make sure that aligns with your tax strategy. 3. IDEV is fine, but VXUS or IXUS could give you slightly broader exposure if you ever want emerging markets automatically included. Overall though — simple, diversified, logical, and low-cost. This is the kind of setup most investors would benefit from sticking with for decades. Nicely done
Because there was a soft momentum change from AI/precious metals to the not-so-popular sectors such as auto, healthcare, insurance, and financial services. Last week Zion reported in an 8k that there was an idiosyncratic risk with one of its credit loans, which triggered a credit fear. After the full earnings report it looked truly like an isolated event, so people calmed down some. CVNA which is basically a credit company posing as a car company is up pretty big on the day for example. The equal weight index RSP is up on the day. The question is, will this momentum shift continue to deflate AI, as it is the biggest pillar holding up the markets. Too much pullback and the entire market will suffer.
Yes, TFSA, RSP and a margin account. The registered accounts like TFSA and RRSP you can't trade more complex strategies where margin is needed, so you're forced to use a margin account where any income or any realized capital gain will need to be declared on your taxes. I only sell CC in my registered accounts. If you look at the Options account settings in Questrade, they list out the different levels of trading allowed and what kind of trades you can make in your accounts.
The rest of the market is healthy. The RSP just hit all time highs and is in a slight pullback. There is breadth in the market and the IWM just hit an all time high yesterday. How’s that bearish ?
RSP (equal weighted SPY) just went green, something of note
https://testfol.io/?s=hggV7pTZJls Where do you see that? This comparison of RSP and SPY shows SPY being ahead.
No problem! RSP did better than SPY during dot com bubble burst period (I think over a 20 year period). You get less exposure to momentum plays (AI stocks at present), which if you're concerned about a bubble bursting that is a good thing. Yeah etfs like VOO and SPY are like >30% AI tech, so not very well diversified in terms of amount allocated if you ask me.
Check out RSP or EUSA. AI bubble burst likely to cause some sector rotation. The equal weighted SP500 etfs are a way to n invest in SP500 with minimal AI bubble risk.
Income/withdrawals from investments is typically taxed favorably compared to employment income. Even with RSP income you no longer have to worry about EI/CPP deductions. $40k taxed favorably + a paid off house is enough for a lot of people. Also, the 4% withdrawal rate takes into account future cost of living increases. If it's enough money today, chances are it will be enough money in the future. Layer on CPP/OAS and it becomes more and more realistic. Of course, more money is more good, but $1mm can be enough
And supposedly CNBC said that what FOX News reported was fake on the meeting and it's on. I think your most likely case is short term reconnect with the 50 day, but for the remainder of the year, watch what the broader market outside of tech does, as that was an ugly breakdown by RSP and it has foreshadowed moves lower.
You're looking for equal weight ETFs. RSP is S&P 500 equal weight, EUSA is MSCI USA equal weight. Though I wouldn't recommend them, as they're pretty underwhelming.
Thanks, just found RSP. I won't gain as much as SPY or VOO, but this will keep me investing. I honestly don't understand tech sector which is why I'm cautious about the market cap weighted etfs that have a ton of tech investment.
The real work is about respecting the primary trend. Don’t fight trends. Your job as an investor is to ride the trend not get in the way. If you have to fight the trend you better have a damn good reason. Asset prices trend. A stock breaking out to new highs is far more likely to keep climbing than to suddenly collapse. Fighting the trend is a losing game. Remember when all those people lied to you about how it was only seven stocks that were driving this market? They weren't counting. They were fighting trends. And they were wrong. Meanwhile, here's reality: The Equal-Weight Dow Jones Industrial Average (EDOW) and the Equal-Weight S&P 500 (RSP) just closed the week at their highest levels ever. That’s not just seven stocks, that’s a bull market. One day the data will tell us the trend is lower. Today is not that day.
Meanwhile, the equal-weight S&P 500 (RSP) hasn't had as bad a performance relative to the S&P 500 since 2008. Market breadth is narrow.
Could invest in RSP with PE of 21, if you don't like as much growth/risk.
meh I disagree with this. IWM (small caps) still struggling to crack 2021 highs and RSP (equal weight S&P) not much higher than those levels. I can think of many stocks and sectors that havent done well. it's been a rally mostly fueled by mag7, AI, and AI related stuff (electricity and nuclear, for example) imo, however, we are closer to the end of a recession than the start of one, so hopefully we see a broadening out. that would be very bullish, instead of AI stocks to infinity and beyond
Re. why sell in the money, it would be the equivalent of selling a cash secured put, in a RSP or TFSA.
A reminder to all Canadians and Non US investors. US dividends are withheld at 15% outside of RSP (yes including TFSA and FHSA)
GLDM and RSP (equal weight S&P)
The difference on the indexes is really interesting though....I can see 13% growth in the S&P500 based purely on the earnings power of the mag 7 names. If you combined that with cyclical names having an up cycle, 13% isn't crazy (though it is optimistic). Added bonus, 3% inflation could combine with 10% nominal growth and you get there. Of course, as you pointed out, that's pretty rare performance. I'm not sure I can really justify it with reality, unless AI truly unleashed massive profit margins for a lot of companies. Though, I agree with you, that's basically priced in. If the mag 7 hits the capex earnings Cliff in 2 years as some are predicting, the valuation can get really silly really quick. All that AI capex comes due eventually. Personally, I think that is the potential catalyst for things going south, but it's also a long way away. RSP is just a nice counter balance to see how the broad market is holding up. I did use the lower EPS growth with RSP to cancel out the lack of mag 7 participation, but still, I agree the market seems to be pricing in a lot right now, which limits upside. I do think there is a lot of value in individual names right now though. Maybe we return to a stock pickers market?
The reason I cited the S&P 500 and not RSP is because very few of us directly invest in the equal weighted market, but many do the classic S&P 500, hence I found it more relevant here. The high concentration in Mag7 means any future underperformance will hit the S&P 500 harder relative to RSP. So, it at least means we both agree diversification is good. > 2 years of 10% growth would bring it down to 17.5, I agree earnings growth will bring down the P/E, but you won't get any price appreciation in that setting! Even if earnings growth is stellar, any amount of multiple contraction basically extinguishes your returns. Moreover, 13% is actually already very high EPS growth. Historically, the US sees about 3% real earnings growth, so call it 5-6% nominal. Already, we're pricing in double the historical average.
Counterpoint....RSP is around 21.5x earnings right now, which is elevated. However, it's not insane if you consider even 10% growth in EPS. 2 years of 10% growth would bring it down to 17.5, which is still high, but not insane considering how much better businesses are today than 25 years ago. Additionally, factor in that a number of cyclical industries have seen earnings crater in the last few years (shipping, building, banks) and the cyclical upturn in EPS caused by lower rates could be a huge earnings catalyst. I think it shows the divergence between the MAG 7 and the rest of the market. So much of SPY is now tied up in those names, that they really skew everything.
Fed is forecasting stronger gdp, stronger employment, and higher inflation. And is forecasting more rate cuts into 2026. Bullish until data proves otherwise. I favor IWM, and RSP for equities here as the market broadens and searches yield out the risk curve.
RSP is the simplest equal weighted ETF, it would have much less of ther tech stocks compared to the IVV or such.
Been saying this for a while, it's a MAG8 circle jerk, passing the money around to prop up balance sheets Oracle just made AI cloud compute deals for 450bn, and 300bn is with OpenAI OpenAI has similar deals with Microsoft and Google, but it's a non-profit with very little revenue, it doesn't have 300bn, it's complete bs Today Musk bought 1bn of Tesla shares, and in doing so increased his net worth by 5bn, and under his new 1 trillion dollar pay package he get's 50-100bn for each 0.5T Tesla increases it's market share, up until 8.5T Meanwhile the equal weighted S&P (RSP) is only up 7% YTD, and the MAG8 and a handful other companies are doing a pump and dump with the markets, we just haven't seen the dump ... yet
Are Apple and Amazon ever going to ATH again? I mean RSP kicking their ass
RSP -0.7% SPY +0.15% **Corporate America**
You could also consider the RSP equal weight S&P 500 ETF
yah equal weight (RSP) is down 0.36% as of this comment
I use combo of: VOO + SPMO + RSP + VTV VOO Broad but top heavy SPMO Momentum, rebalanced RSP Equal-weighted VTV Value tilt Allows you to capture momentum with some downside protection. Allocations based on your risk tolerance.
XMAG, RSP and FNDX are three approaches that might help you towards your goal. And of course, anything international.
I wouldn't move all my money from a S&P 500 index fund to international. I do have RSP in my portfolio because it balances out the overweight in tech stocks that is present in a normal S&P 500 index fund.
If you are worried about SP500 being dominated by Mag 7, then look at RSP. It is equal weight version of SP500 versus market weight. I would rather own Mag 7 because I am not risk adverse, but a lot of people are afraid of risk. SP500 index is too full of mediocre companies.
VOO outperforms RSP 1.5-2x going back yearly for 10 years. If you want to invest like that because you have risk concerns go for it. But keep in mind if the top 7 falter, they’ll be replaced by other top companies. That’s why it keeps winning.
With volatility pinned, is now a good time to buy RSP? Will Nvidia’s push up the other stocks in the index? Or will we just drill a tunnel straight to the center of the moon?
[Here’s](https://testfol.io/?s=9mpxB8iI8eF) the returns of SPY compared to VADDX, the mutual fund form of RSP. I included a version thwt has the same fee structure as SPY as well.
Only if you don’t account for the fee differential. If you normalize RSP’s fees with SPY, RSP[marginally outperforms SPY in raw return](https://testfol.io/?s=hvkzxkX8rnG). If you use the mutual fund version of RSP to get an earlier start date, SPY gets even[more significantly outperformed](https://testfol.io/?s=56I9H6KquFu).
Sure, I'd checked a couple days ago as I'm considering shifting new investments into RSP instead of spy
That might be the case in time-frames longer than a year because of big moves in the mega-caps on good years but Gemini says on a yearly basis that RSP outperforms SPY a little more than half the time. Based on historical data for the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (which RSP tracks) versus the S&P 500 Index (which SPY tracks), here are some years when RSP outperformed SPY: 2003 2004 2005 2007 2009 2010 2013 2014 2016 2017 2021 2022 The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index has outperformed the market-cap-weighted S&P 500 in 12 of the 21 calendar years since its inception in 2003. However, it's worth noting that the market-cap-weighted index had a notable outperformance in 2023 and 2024, driven largely by a small number of mega-cap technology stocks.
RSP equal weight sp500 at all time highs?????
The equal weight (RSP) lags SPY on pretty much all timeframes though. Lol
My original draft actually brought up RSP but I took it out lol. Since I'd be leaving 50% in SP500, I feel like I'm still pretty well exposed. Based on my math, if AI neither busts or booms, I'd be looking at a -0.2% to -0.5% drag annually in this allocation strategy. Currently ~60% of my portfolio is saddled in Mag7. After this realignment, that would change to 30%. Also this wouldn't be a reallocate all at once and cross my fingers strategy. It will take some time to ween off the individual stocks, so I could feasibly benefit from a boom if it happens in the next two years.
You can also look at something like RSP (Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF) which is an example of an ETF that tracks the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index. Other alternative weighting schemes, such as fundamental or factor-based approaches, also exist. This way you will still have exposure to the big names but you won't be overweighted on those names.
Markets aren't stopping now. The ponzi just got the green light to continue, we are going to rally into year end now. BTC/ETH and IWM / RSP leading the way.
No, the wrong stuff is underperforming for it to be Jerome jitters because the Nasdaq hasn't traded on rate fears for quite a while now. I'd be more inclined to say it is if the QQQ -1.94% over two days was IWM doing that instead and RSP struggling more than it has. Yes, semiconductors struggling can drag around the broader S&P this much...it got worse last year than this (it's mild for now).
Pretty decent intraday relief bounce by tech, but we're also seeing that RSP continues to be allergic to 187 and the Dow 45k and I suspect Friday will be their last chance to surpass it until probably Nov/Dec. If Mr. Hawk Powell shows up, they're likely both toast and it won't just be an AI selloff.
I agree there is a lot of AI hype, but Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google were all doing very well before the AI talk and they offered plenty of other products and services. I would not want a portfolio without these giants. XMAG is a S&P500 ETF without the mag7, literally 493 holdings. It’s still new so I can only compare the YTD performance, but it’s doing very well when compared to S&P, sometimes beating it. There is no Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, or Google carrying it. RSP is an equal weighted S&P500 fund, meaning each holding makes up 0.29% or less of the ETF. It can’t rely on big AI tech companies to carry it. Despite this disadvantage RSP only underperformed S&P by about 3% over 10 years, and about 2.5% over 5 years. Based on this data collected from Fidelity.com, I would not abandon the S&P 500. If you’re still nervous then maybe consider XMAG or RSP, FSTA for consumer staples equity, or other sector ETFs. The larger the collection of ETFs though, the more aggravating it will be to manage, good luck.
Not the I agree with your assessment , but if you want to limit your exposure to these big tech you can 1. Buy value funds like SCHV or VTV, the tech companies are usually classified as growth so value funds won't hold a lot of tech companies but will still give you large cap exposure 2. You could buy some equal weighted S&P 500 fund like RSP, as its an equal weight fund it will allocate much more to the smaller components of the S&P500 outside the large tech companies (nvidia , msft, goog, meta, apple) 3. Buy foreign funds like VXUS / SCHF/SCHE 4. As you said allocate to small/midcap funds like VXF 5. Allocate to bonds, if the large companies take a down turn, they are so large they could drag other stocks down as well, so invest in some safe haven asset like bonds.
>Everything is going down but SPY is going up yeah makes sense! >Equal weight SPY is ripping really? That was your comment, well let’s take a look! SPXEW, -.03%, SPX +.08%, are you fucking retarded? https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/sp500ew https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/RSP/ You are an embarrassing clown. Please have some shame. u/BasicWait2
Get rotated, SON! But ya. The RSP and the healthcare names are doing just fine today.
Equal weight SPY (RSP) up 0.7%. If you're wondering what's going on.
Not an options play, but event contracts, Fed keeps rate the unchanged in September. Thinking after Wednesday Fed meeting minutes come out, and Waller speaks, contract price will fall. Bostic speaking at 3pm may signal their bottom. Initial jobless claims on Thursday, could go either way really, but I’d buy weakness into J Pow speaking on Friday. As for options; to play the same setup around possible interest rate cuts(or lack thereof), I’m liking buy SVOL puts, or just straight up ViX calls (though these can be frustrating). IWM should be a little more hyper sensitive to the narrative becoming less dovish as well. RSP also looking like a possible classic double top. Either way, I find it hard to believe we make it through Friday with a VIX at 15, so now should be a good time to buy options ahead of an increase.
I had to look up whether there was an ETF tracking the index without the mag 7. Looks like RSP is the closest option.
It’s over for the bears yet again. RSP has a gap to fill so GG bears.
equal weighted SP500 index (RSP) is -1%. SPY being kept up by AMZN and the mag 7.
RSP down more than 1% tells you everything
If you're wondering what's happening today, look at RSP (equal weighted S&P); up 1.25% vs SPY .25%. The rally is broadening
Sign that the bull run is in tact and broadening with one important caveat: Spy .2% RSP (spy equal weight) .8% VIX down These assholes are so bullish they're buying RSP instead of puts.
$RSP up 0.64% and $SPY up 0.06% and bleeding. lol fuck you TSLA, META, and honestly the rest of the mag 7. Keep drilling baby
I'm watching the equal weighted index of SPY too (RSP) and it hasn't quite made an all time high yet. To confirm the SPY rally continues, probably want to see RSP make a new all time high
Look up RSP. It doesn't have the same returns as the S&P500 since each company has equal weight.
