BlackRock's [profile] acquisition of iShares gave it the most powerful ETF franchise in the world but its strength still remains in its stock, Motley Fool's Dan Caplinger writes.

As opposed to investors involved in its ETFs, who have a likely chance of seeing losses, Blackrock only sees its revenue drop off during times of economic turmoil.

During bullish periods, the shares of investment companies tends to go up and this trend holds true for BlackRock's stock performance in the past six months.

If anything is threatening BlackRock's long term stock performance, Caplinger writes, it's the rise of ETF offerings, which could challenge BlackRock's dominance.
