Trend-riding funds beat US stocks in 2026

Trend-riding hedge funds beat the main US stock index in 2026, CNBC reported Oct. 6. Like surfers catching long waves, they followed moves in government IOUs and oil, not stocks. Holding more than just shares helped savers when borrowing costs and energy trended. I'm cautious — one good year doesn't prove it works; they often fall behind when prices wobble.
