Hilary Kramer says investors need to be "incredibly selective" when it comes to 2026, noting three strong years in the SPX serving as a headwind to similar performance this year. She favors "defensive technology" IN small to mid-cap names.
I believe Inovio Pharmaceuticals' upside rests almost entirely on INO-3107. The FDA set a standard-review PDUFA for October 30, 2026. INO-3107 targets HPV-6/11 RRP, aiming to reduce repeat surgeries by inducing HPV-specific T-cell responses and addressing the disease's underlying causes. But the FDA questioned INO-3107's accelerated approval. I think this increases the risk of longer timelines with larger confirmatory requirements.

Capital Southwest has the right tools to weather pressures from lower interest rates and create value in the long run, across different cycles. The secret sauce is really the embedded trifecta of internal management, high-quality equity bias, and conservative capital structure. The premium over NAV for CSWC might limit alpha-like performance in case of a sector-wide optimism, and the current supplemental distributions might be cut, leaving only the base dividend in place.
The ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF offers leveraged upside to U.S. natural gas, but magnifies both gains and losses. Natural gas futures have declined over 50% since December highs, while BOIL underperformed, dropping 66.45% in the same period.

Strive Energy U.S. ETF has consistently underperformed its energy ETF peers, hindered by a notably high expense ratio.
