The broad stock market looks like a total minefield right now. Big indexes like the S&P 500 ($SPX) are sitting at historically expensive prices, and they are relying almost entirely on a few massive AI stocks to keep from falling.
However, when the main market starts to finally crack, certain specialized niches can actually hold up well on their own. By looking outside of the usual tech stocks, three specific funds — the Roundhill Sports Betting & iGaming ETF (BETZ), the VanEck Video Gaming and eSports ETF (ESPO), and the Pacer Industrial Real Estate ETF (INDS) — have a real chance to perform well even in an awful market.
