  • Akins Sees Lagging Tech Groups Ripe for Second-Half Rally
    July 11, 2026, 1:17 PM EDT. Mike Akins, co-founder at ETF Action, told investors to look at software, cloud computing, and disruptive tech stocks for the rest of the year.

He pointed to the 'Magnificent Seven'-Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Apple, Tesla-as potential catch-up trades after a slow first half. Fresh outperformance versus the Nasdaq-100 is getting attention. Small caps, tracked by the Russell 2000, have already climbed nearly 20% in 2024, beating the S&P 500's 11% move and hinting at more upside through year-end.
