This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

The iShares North American Tech-Software ETF (IGV-A) has garnered mixed opinions among experts, highlighting both significant potential and caution depending on market conditions. Some experts point out that the ETF has recently exceeded its 200-day moving average, leading them to believe that the software sector still has upward momentum, particularly with a potential price target of $100, contingent on improving sentiment. However, there is recognition of a tough past year with the ETF suffering substantial losses, presenting an opportunity for value accumulation within the software sector. Additionally, experts note that the sector has been oversold, suggesting a rebound may be on the horizon despite uncertainties surrounding forthcoming earnings reports. Overall, the ETF exhibits a compelling long-term value proposition, particularly if the anticipated disruptions from AI materialize over the next few years, making it an attractive entry point for investors willing to navigate the volatile landscape.

BUY

It's broken above its 200-day moving average. She thinks the software space will continue going higher.

BUY

It could hit $100 with only a bit of positive sentiment. The earnings of these software stocks are going in the opposite direction of the stock.

BUY

Got obliterated in the last year. He's been accumulating. Lots of value in the whole software sector.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

In the past month, software has been oversold and won't wait for Nvidia's result to rebound. IGV is bottoming.

COMMENT

There's some disruption definitely coming, and right now the market's debating what that means. This ETF is a basket of all the software players, from MSFT down to smaller ones. On the chart, you can see the dramatic move down in the last few months -- we're back to the peak of Covid and the April 2025 time of maximum tariff fear.

If you didn't get in and out at the right time, you'd have made no money. With every investment, timing is important. He likes this ETF a lot more down here than he did back at the highs. If AI is massively disruptive (and only the next 2-3 years will tell), he realizes that we could get back to the lows around $50. But if you're not in software, it's looking really interesting here.

BUY

Expects the sector to recover this year, and likes current prices.

WATCH

Watch the negative correlation trade.  Over 6 months, IGV is up 15% and semis were flat, but the past month IGV is -5% and semis +1%. Nvidia and CRM report tonight--what will be the impact?

DON'T BUY
It's fallen to where it was pre-Covid. It should be lower than these levels, not at fair value.
HOLD
She's shorting this. IGV has fallen to where it was pre-Covid. It should be lower than these levels, and IGV is not yet at fair value.
COMMENT

ETF recommendation? There are a number of them out there. The ones he uses add diversification and are used primarily as a short term trading vehicle for him. He mostly uses SOXX, IGV and FDN.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 31/19, Down 5%) All the growth names have pulled back. Software stocks tend to be more defensive, so you can hold them during periods of stock weakness. Software is your new defensive play during the summer. July-November still has some seasonal runway, but the chart shows a head and shoulders pattern, so technically the trend is over.
HOLD

A great name. He likes their migration to a subscription basis. It has good pricing power and he personally uses their products all the time. They are the defacto standard. A little rich at today's value though. He would also consider the ETF IGV-A to help diversify some of the risk in the space.

COMMENT
How to take advantage of a recession? There has been a great run in the market. He would buy into an alternative offering that allows the manager to be long or short or to get an active manager. You need to be disciplined on your entry and exit levels. His minimum to get into his fund is $50k. He could suggest two ETFs: IGV-T and FTN-N. He thinks it is dangerous to get into a long only ETF at this stage of the cycle.
TOP PICK

July 31-Nov.8 is seasonality. It's outperformed the market by 4.2% in this period. It's trending higher and consistently. Software stocks are the new defensive stocks because they're adopting the subscription model, like Microsoft.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 10/19, Up 3%) Software is the new staples, because it's going to the subscription model and will do well in upturns and downturns. Defensive. July 31-Nov.8 is seasonality. Summer is very good for this sector.
