Q: Any opinion on I Shares XUSC (3% weighted) as a hedge against XSP where there is a major portion allotted to large companies?
I believe this is a new ETF and might, in my opinion, cause one to wait awhile however considering the issuer is there any point in holding off an attempt to partially offset XSP?
Any better ideas would be great.
Thanks
