We reiterate this iShares ETF, which focuses on US equities that demonstrate lower volatility over time, as a TOP PICK. What makes it particularly interesting is its lower volatility despite a 13% average annual growth since inception over 10 years ago.

We recommend trailing up the stop (from $75) to $83, looking to achieve $105 -- upside potential of 18%. Yield 1.1%
