iShares MSCI Israel Capped Investable Market Index Fund

Global Affairs Correspondent For Axios Barak Ravid Posts on X"Israeli official tells me Iran launched 6 missiles towards U.S. bases in Qatar"

U.S. bonds are on track to log ten straight six-month periods of underperformance relative to stocks, a record-breaking stretch of underperformance since 2020 that&#8217;s rippling through markets and shaking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stories-that-matter">up traditional investor portfolios.</a>
The streak spans five years and reflects a regime shift in global markets—one driven by rising interest rates, an overstretched fiscal backdrop, and a tech-driven equity boom.
Yet with geopolitical tensions escalating in Iran, some may wonder whether the prolonged cycle of bond underperformance compared to stocks might finally turn.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Have Bonds Struggled?</h3>
It all started with the 2020 pandemic recovery, when a "risk-on" mood emerged.
As stimulus measures boosted economic growth, investors fled safe-haven Treasuries and flocked to risk-on assets like equities.
The real damage accelerated in 2022, when the Federal Reserve launched its most aggressive rate-hiking cycle in decades. Bond prices collapsed as yields surged, marking the end of a four-decade bull run fueled by low inflation and near-zero interest rates since the 2008 financial crisis.
Even in the first half of 2022, as the S&amp;P 500 plunged 20.5%, long-duration Treasuries fell even harder—down 22.5%—highlighting how vulnerable bonds had become in a rising-rate environment.
The contrast grew starker in 2023 and 2024, when stocks entered a blistering bull market—posting back-to-back annual gains of 24% and 23%, the strongest two-year stretch since 1998. Bonds, meanwhile, remained under pressure as yields stayed elevated.
Behind the scenes, U.S. fiscal conditions worsened. Since the pandemic, the federal deficit has hovered near 6%-7% of GDP, far above historical norms. In 2025, credit rating agency Moody's stripped the U.S. of its last AAA rating, citing runaway spending and debt accumulation. Yields on 30-year Treasury bonds escalated at or near 5%. 
Adding fuel to the fire, President Donald Trump's sweeping fiscal package has pushed long-term projections deeper into the red. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill is expected to add $2.6 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.
Together, these forces have created a toxic mix for bonds: rising rates, sticky inflation, surging deficits and a loss of investor confidence in U.S. fiscal sustainability.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will War Shift The Bond-Stock Balance?</h3>
With geopolitical risk surging after the U.S. struck Iran's nuclear facility on June 21, investors are asking a key question: Could a major war or energy crisis finally reverse bonds' historic underperformance versus equities?
According to Mark Cabana, rates strategist at Bank of America, the relationship between conflict and Treasury yields isn't straightforward. 
"UST yields often don&#8217;t decline with higher geopolitical risks, especially if oil prices are rising," he said in a note shared Monday.
The critical factor, Cabana added, is whether the event materially damages the U.S. economy. 
"Our analysis of prior geopolitical events suggests an inconsistent response of USTs; we conclude that USTs often do not rally amidst geopolitical tensions and the directional move correlates with oil prices."
Bank of America's historical study, which includes major geopolitical flashpoints from the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait onward, found that Treasury yields actually rose about half the time in the month following such events. 
Often, these periods were accompanied by oil price spikes, which fueled inflation concerns and pushed yields higher—not lower.
Put simply, the bond market doesn't behave like a risk-off hedge when oil is surging.
That's why even a significant military escalation in the Middle East may not be enough to snap the bond market's underperformance streak versus equities.

Shares of airline stocks are trading lower on uncertain travel demand outlook following US strikes on Iran. Qatar has closed airspace amid tensions.

For us long-term investors, we may find ourselves having to sell some stocks during a market drawdown.
It's an unpleasant thought I've had since early April, when the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/bear-markets-in-context">fell by around 20%</a>&nbsp;from its Feb. 19 all-time high.
But does it always make sense to think of a 20% decline in your stock portfolio as a loss?
<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!REku!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7b842e8d-167d-4d70-9ddd-2406a287b164_932x453.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!REku!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7b842e8d-167d-4d70-9ddd-2406a287b164_932x453.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">2025 has been rough. (Source: Yahoo Finance)</figcaption></figure>
A common answer is that it's not a loss until you sell. This is the distinction between a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/04/021204.asp">realized loss and an unrealized loss</a>.
But even if you sell during a bear market, do you really lose 20%?
For many long-term investors, there's a case to be made that the answer is&nbsp;no.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reframing how we think about market drawdowns &#x1f914;</h2>
At its April 7 intraday bottom, the S&amp;P 500 reached a low of 4,835.04. This was the lowest level since Jan. 19, 2024.
In the context of my personal stock portfolio, which almost totally consists of purchases of S&amp;P 500 index funds, I made three observations at the time:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>All of my trades since January 2024 were in the red.</li>
<li>All of my trades from 2005, when I opened my first 401(k) account, through 2023 were profitable.</li>
<li>I put much more money to work from 2005 to 2023 than I did from 2024 to 2025.</li>
</ul>
To help understand this, see the chart below of the S&amp;P 500 since 2005. The dotted line demarcates the S&amp;P's April low of 4,835.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ypvV!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77432f10-8196-45c9-bcda-f664813ec82e_938x440.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ypvV!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77432f10-8196-45c9-bcda-f664813ec82e_938x440.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The stock market has mostly performed very well since 2005. (Source: Yahoo Finance)</figcaption></figure>
Over 95% of the contributions I've made to my retirement accounts occurred when the stock market was much lower than the April 2025 low.
This means I still earned a substantial positive return investing in the stock market throughout my adult life. Even the purchases I made near market peaks before the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic were significantly profitable trades.
This is a roundabout way of saying that I'm thinking more about my&nbsp;<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/costbasis.asp">cost basis</a>. Since I made most of my purchases when the stock market was much lower than where it's trading today, my average cost basis is very low.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">This doesn't actually change anything, Sam &#x1f928;</h2>
To be clear, reframing how you think about the performance of your investments does not change the actual performance of your investments.
Sure, I'm still very much in the money. But there's also no denying that at the April 7 low, the value of my portfolio was still down about 20% from its peak.
If you are a stone-cold, totally rational investor, then this discussion was perhaps a waste of time. But I think most of us benefit from some perspective when faced with jarring drops in our portfolios.
For me, thinking about how much I'm up relative to my cost basis has been much more positive on my mental health than thinking about how much I'm down from the market's peak.

Shelby admitted she had recently gotten out of a toxic relationship and had been hoping this new one would be different.&nbsp;
Ramsey didn't hesitate after that. &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure if he&#8217;s an idiot or a con man, but I am sure he&#8217;s one of the two,&#8221; he told her. &#8220;And my friend Shelby, who I love, doesn&#8217;t need to be dating a guy who&#8217;s an idiot or a con man. You&#8217;re done.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Then The Bombshell: They&#8217;ve Never Met In Person</h2>
The call took a sharp turn when Warshaw asked whether Shelby had actually met the man in real life. &#8220;Oh, um, well, it&#8217;s mostly online. I&#8217;ve been trying to meet him in person,&#8221; Shelby said.
Ramsey cut in: &#8220;You&#8217;ve never met him in person? Can you spell catfish? Does that all sound right to you? Or did you think we were going to tell you something else?&#8221; And Warshaw added, &#8220;That's the con man part.&#8221;
Warshaw reminded Shelby that she had called in for a reason. &#8220;I&#8217;m just agreeing with what your brain was already telling you,&#8221; she said.
Ramsey&#8217;s final word: &#8220;You deserve some love. This guy needs to be set straight, not you.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Dave Ramsey Thinks About Bitcoin</h2>
Ramsey has made his opinion on Bitcoin clear in past episodes. When asked last year if it should be treated like single stocks, he flat-out rejected the idea. "Bitcoin is a currency," he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRUF0zOaZm0">said</a>.
He argued that Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and is backed only by perception and hype—a view shared by other prominent critics like economist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40818582/gold-bull-peter-schiff-claims-bitcoin-lacks-intrinsic-value-and-is-destined-to-fail">Peter Schiff</a> and JPMorgan Chase&nbsp; CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42940832/jamie-dimon-says-hes-not-against-blockchains-but-trades-guns-on-bitcoin-again-it-has-no-intrinsic-value-i-just-dont-feel-great-about">Jamie Dimon</a>.
&nbsp;"Currencies have no value except for their track record that indicates that two people are willing to fight over them," Ramsey said. He also pointed out that even Warren Buffett <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/01/43073354/warren-buffett-openly-called-bitcoin-a-rat-poison-in-2018-7-years-later-he-is-invested-in-this-crypto-linked-stock-which-soared-27-in-2024">won't invest in Bitcoin</a>. "If he doubled the amount he had put in Bitcoin, he would still have zero," Ramsey said, quoting Buffett.
He compared crypto to other speculative fads that come and go, calling Bitcoin "smoke and mirrors." Until it shows long-term stability and credibility, he doesn't consider it a serious financial asset.

These Analysts Increase Their Forecasts On CarMax After Upbeat Q1 Results

<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/23/iran-retaliation-trump-israel-war">https://www.axios.com/2025/06/23/iran-retaliation-trump-israel-war</a>

'Trump assembles national security team amid threat of Iran retaliation'- Axios

The Pixar unit of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) has been responsible for massive box office hits like the Toy Story, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars and Monsters Inc. franchises. The latest Pixar film is breaking records, but not in a good way.
What Happened: New Disney film "Elio" from Pixar struggled in its box office debut, ranking third behind "28 Years Later" and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/45960044/live-action-how-to-train-your-dragon-box-office-soars-above-cartoon-films-inside-comcasts-2025-movie-magic">live-action family-friendly,</a> "How to Train Your Dragon."
"Elio" grossed $21 million domestically during its opening weekend, which is the worst open for a Pixar film in modern history, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/box-office/elio-pixar-worst-box-office-opening-28-years-later-debut-1236437579/">Variety</a>. Estimates for the film predicted it would open with $25 million to $30 million domestically.
Adding in $14 million from international theaters, the film grossed $35 million worldwide in its opening weekend.
This is the only Pixar film set for a 2025 release and will hurt Disney in comparable sales as it goes up against the 2024 hit "Inside Out 2," which grossed $1.69 billion worldwide. Outside of "Inside Out 2," the Pixar unit has struggled to produce hits in recent years, with several of the original films sent to the Disney+ streaming platform instead of theaters due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The miss by "Elio" comes with kid-friendly movies showing strong performance in 2025 for movie studios and movie theater chains like AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and Cinemark Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>).
"How to Train Your Dragon" topped the box office for the weekend with $37 million, adding to its impressive $83 million debut from last week. Domestically, the film has made $160.4 million to rank seventh in 2025.
In fact, five of the top 10 grossing films in <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2025/?ref_=bo_yl_table_1">2025 </a>are kid-friendly, including several from Disney. "A Minecraft Movie" ranks first at $423.9 million, followed by Disney's live-action "Lilo &amp; Stitch" at $386.7 million. "How to Train Your Dragon" ranks seventh followed by 2024 carryover "Mufasa: The Lion King," which has made $126.4 million in 2025 and "Dog Man," ranking 10th.
Along with a strong showing of kid-friendly movies, Disney shows a strong dominance among the top-grossing movies with "Lilo &amp; Stitch" in second, "Captain America: Brave New World" in fourth, "Thunderbolts" in fifth and "Mufasa" in ninth. Just outside of the top 10 is "Snow White" at 11th with $87.2 million domestically. &nbsp;

What's Next: The new low for Pixar breaks the 2023 domestic total of "Elemental," which opened with $29.6 million domestically. That film went on to manage a respectable box office before it left theaters thanks to strong reviews.
"Elemental" grossed $155 million domestically and $496 million worldwide. With a strong "A" rating on CinemaScore and 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes for "Elio," Disney will be hoping for a similar rebound for its latest Pixar film.
Disney shareholders looking ahead at the 2025 release schedule likely aren't too worried about the weak "Elio" opening. While the film being a big miss is definitely worrisome, it comes with Disney having more blockbusters set for release the rest of the year, including:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>"The Fantastic Four: First Steps": July 25</li>
<li>"Tron: Ares": Oct. 10</li>
<li>"Zootopia 2": Nov. 26</li>
<li>"Avatar: Fire and Ash": Dec. 19</li>
</ul>
Disney hit $2 billion at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42603589/disney-hits-2-billion-domestic-box-office-wins-top-honors-global-box-office-2025-to-grow-8-to-33b-analyst-says">domestic box office</a> in 2025 for the second time since 2019. With a strong lineup of films and a total already over $1 billion year-to-date, the media giant could hit this milestone again.
Expectations were not overly high for "Elio" given it was an original film and not from an existing franchise. The lineup above shows films from existing franchises and proven success, which sets Disney up for a potential strong second half of 2025.
DIS Price Action: Disney stock was trading down 1.07% at $116.37 on Monday at publication versus a 52-week trading range of $80.10 to $120.50. Disney stock is up 5.7% year-to-date in 2025 and up 14.8% over the last year.

Disney's 'Elio' Posts Worst Pixar Opening: Here's Why Media Giant Likely Isn't Worried

Bitcoin Depot shares are trading lower after the company announced it filed for a mixed shelf of up to $100 million.

Houston American Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUSA#NYSE">HUSA</a>) shares are trading higher by 58% to $23.76 Monday morning, driven by intensifying geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that threaten global oil supply routes.
What To Know: Monday&#8217;s rally follows a U.S. State Department worldwide security alert issued Sunday, urging heightened caution for Americans abroad amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/travel/25/06/46045416/us-issues-worldwide-caution-after-strikes-on-irans-nuclear-sites-state-department-warns-of-airspace-closures-travel-chaos-and-rising-threats-to-americans-abroad">escalating conflict</a> between Israel and Iran. Over the weekend, U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities heightened fears of broader regional destabilization.
Of particular concern to energy markets, Iran's parliament approved a measure allowing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46047021/iran-threatens-strait-of-hormuz-after-us-bombs-its-nuclear-sites-shipping-traffic-plunges">potential closure</a> of the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most vital oil shipping chokepoint, through which around 20% of global petroleum liquids transit. Although the move is symbolic for now, it underscores rising risks to global energy flows.

Houston American Energy, a small-cap independent oil and gas exploration company with interests in the Permian Basin and Colombia, is seen as a potential beneficiary of supply disruptions. Investor interest surged as crude oil prices climbed on fears of reduced exports from the Gulf region.
With airspace closures, consular evacuations and Iran's threats escalating, energy-focused investors are turning to smaller U.S.-based oil producers like HUSA as speculative plays in a volatile oil market driven by geopolitical uncertainty.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, HUSA has a 52-week high of $32.00 and a 52-week low of $3.85.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy HUSA Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Houston American Energy&#8217;s case, it is in the Energy sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Houston American Energy (HUSA) Stock Explodes 58% Monday: What's Going On?

BofA Securities analyst Justin Post <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GOOGL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained a Buy</a> rating on Google parent Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) with a price target of $200 on Monday.
Post projected fiscal 2025 sales of $332.69 billion and EPS of $9.72.
AI capabilities are changing search interactions and increasing utility and functionality, Post noted.
Given new capabilities, the analyst noted that a multi-tiered product monetization structure that includes subscriptions is evolving.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46005368/meta-amazon-booking-best-positioned-for-agentic-ai-opportunity-says-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">Meta, Amazon, Booking Best Positioned For Agentic AI Opportunity, Says Analyst</a>
He reviewed Google&#8217;s search business drivers, including a growing revenue pie as search utility has had a step function increase, a shift from traditional ad-supported search towards paid tiers, a reduction in search clicks and a change from CPC to CPA transactions, and OpenAI traffic ramp and competitive catalysts.
Post said the growing adoption of Google&#8217;s AI Overviews and AI Mode could result in fewer clicks but will enable Google to better interpret queries with targeted ads.
The analyst also noted that Google&#8217;s updated Smart Bidding framework should broaden ad eligibility across a broader range of query types, further supporting AI monetization.
As Google monetization evolves, Search metrics such as paid clicks could become less relevant, and monetization KPIs (like ARPU) may better reflect Search performance, he said.
Post noted an increased focus by Google on product reach disclosure (15 products with 500 million+ users).
According to the analyst, Google is well-positioned with tech talent, extensive data to build AI models, and multi-product distribution to drive AI usage and monetization.
He said that beyond Search, Google will capture growth through Google One subscriptions, Workspace price increases, and system-level integrations across Android and ChromeOS.
Post estimated that Gemini-driven subscription revenue could grow to $12 billion by 2027 and Workspace will see a $1 billion+ annualized benefit from price increases this year.
The starting point for access to information and transactions will shift from browser-based to mobile O/S and app-based, with at least five tech titans (Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Google, Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and OpenAI) targeting the opportunity, the analyst said.
He said this shift will erode Google&#8217;s long-standing competitive moats and reduce usage share.
In the near term, OpenAI is well funded and scaling rapidly and likely to introduce ads, while Meta could launch Agentic AI capabilities to its 1 billion assistant users, and Amazon has built an Agent that can shop across other sites, Post said.
Post projects fiscal 2025 sales of $332.69 billion and EPS of $9.72 for Alphabet.
Price Action: GOOGL stock is down 1.4% at $165.36 at last check Monday.
