IZRL: Amid War, Innovation Continues Driving This Microcap ETF

IZRL remains a long-term buy, offering exposure to Israel's innovative tech ecosystem and microcap growth potential, akin to a venture capital basket.

Technical analysis shows IZRL is nearing a breakout, supporting my conviction in its 3-year comeback and potential for outsized returns versus US microcap ETFs.
