SOURCE EVIDENCE

"History shows that major asset managers do not aggressively launch low-cost, retail-focused vehicles for a specific sector when that sector is dirt cheap and universally hated. They engineer and launch these mass-market tools at the exact cyclical peak of retail enthusiasm, precisely when public demand for the underlying theme is completely boiling over."
