Dear Reader,
50-year Wall Street legend Marc Chaikin, has come to be known for one thing in recent years...
Predicting the big moves in the stock market, using what he calls, "the most powerful stock cycle indicator I've ever seen, based on more than 100 years of data."
And just days ago, Chaikin went public with details on: The exact month the next big stock market crash is most likely to begin.
Will Marc Chaikin be right yet again, in predicting the next big market move?
I would NOT bet against him. He used this same cycle indicator in 2018 when he said stocks would fall on live TV...
He used it in 2020 to help folks get back INTO stocks...
And in March of 2022 to predict a crash, when he wrote: "Millions of investors are about to be blindsided by a wave of stock crashes..."
And then again to predict huge bull markets in both 2023 and 2024...
And now, Marc Chaikin is using the exact same cycle indicator again to detail when he believes the next market crash will begin.
He says it's going to catch millions off-guard.
Which is why he recently produced a brand-new presentation detailing everything you need to know, including where to be invested now, and exactly when to the next crash is most likely to start.
Chaikin even reveals the name and symbol of one of his favorite investments to buy right now. To get the full story and access Chaikin's presentation for free on his website, click here...

Low-Cost Global Exposure: 3 Diversified ETFs for Value Investors
Written by Nathan Reiff. Published 9/2/2025.
Key Points
- A shift toward international markets has brought a number of ex-U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs) into focus this year.
- Value, dividend, and small-cap funds with an international focus have often performed quite well relative to the S&P 500.
- Three ETFs with low costs and strong returns in this space include VEU, EFV, and AVDV.
This year's turmoil in U.S. markets has spurred investors to seek opportunities overseas. Although the S&P 500 rebounded from its early-April, tariff-related dip, several international and value exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have easily outpaced its 10.2% year-to-date gain.
Beyond trade- and regulatory-driven volatility, lofty valuations in U.S. equities have shifted interest toward non-U.S. markets. That trend is evident in rising flows into international value strategies—especially small-cap and dividend stocks. Three ETFs, each up at least 21% YTD, stand out for investors looking to capitalize on this momentum.
Low Cost, High Returns, Broad Diversification: A Couple of Caveats

Trump's Reset Can Give Birth To America's Greatest Era Yet
A 90-Year cycle may end soon, creating real wealth for early adopters
In 1933, Executive Order 6102 forced everyday Americans to hand over their gold at a fixed rate.
Everyday citizens lost a sizable amount of their hard earned wealth at the stroke of FDR's pen.
The Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US ETF (NYSEARCA: VEU) is one of the largest, most liquid and least expensive global-equity ETFs available. With about $50 billion in assets under management (AUM) and an average daily volume above 2.8 million shares, its 0.04% expense ratio is a standout bargain. VEU also pays an annual dividend of $1.84 per share, translating to a 2.65% yield—providing meaningful income alongside broad international exposure.
With nearly 3,800 holdings, VEU serves as a convenient one-stop shop for non-U.S. equities. However, two diversification points merit attention: emerging markets make up only about 27% of the portfolio, while Europe accounts for nearly 40%; and the fund tilts heavily toward large-cap names, potentially underweighting smaller firms worldwide.
Despite these considerations, VEU's combination of low cost, simplicity and dividend payments makes it a solid choice in today's global investment landscape.
Focus on Developed Market Value Stocks Pays Off
By contrast, the iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF (BATS: EFV) zeroes in on value shares in developed markets outside North America. It selects large-cap names with attractive valuation metrics—reducing its universe to roughly 400 stocks.
Geographically, EFV spans about a dozen countries, with Japan, the U.K. and Germany collectively representing half the fund. Yet no individual holding exceeds a 2.3% weight, helping to spread risk.
EFV's value-tilt and dividend focus yield an annual payout of 3.37%. The fund has returned over 31% so far this year, validating its disciplined stock selection. With a 0.33% expense ratio, EFV offers strong performance at a reasonable cost.
Small-Cap Value Niche Delivers Exceptional Returns
The Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF (NYSEARCA: AVDV) targets developed-market small-cap companies that appear undervalued based on profitability ratios. At about $11.8 billion in AUM and an average daily volume of 400,000 shares, AVDV is the smallest and newest fund on our list.
Despite its size, AVDV includes more than 1,400 holdings across sectors and regions. Industrials, materials and financials are especially prominent, and Japanese firms account for nearly one-third of the portfolio—yet regional diversification remains robust.
Investors have been rewarded with roughly 34% YTD returns, plus an annual dividend yield of 3.58%. For a specialized small-cap strategy, AVDV's 0.36% expense ratio is competitive. Small-cap international value stocks are an often-overlooked niche, and AVDV captures their potential effectively.
