This Aggressive ETF Portfolio Is Outperforming the S&P 500 YTD

The munKNEE “Multi-bagger” Portfolio and “Rags-to Riches” Portfolio consists of 26 stocks that were down drastically (-73%, on average) in 2022 but it is hoped that many of them will bounce back with major returns in 2023. Taking advantage of such an opportunity, however, would necessitate making 26 separate purchases as neither of the aforementioned Portfolios are tradable. To overcome that situation, however, there are several ETFs with holdings consistent with the constituents in the Portfolios and other downtrodden categories (cryptocurrencies and junior gold and silver miners) and they are identified below with how well (poorly) they are doing year-to-date (March 17th, 2023).
