  Sep 4, 2026—

  ETFs have come a long way. What started with broad-market index exposure has evolved into leveraged ETFs, inverse ETFs, single-stock ETFs, options-income strategies - and now potentially sports-betting ETFs. This week, Keith Gangl, Mike Binger, Lisa Schreiber, and John Ingham explore where the line between investing and speculation is drawn. We discuss the rise of sports-betting ETFs, Gen Z’s growing comfort with risk, the influence of social media, economic frustration, financial literacy, and whether younger investors are simply looking for a faster path to wealth.
