That's not helpful--general statement. But dig deeper. If you're an advertiser, PINS gives you a much better bang than FB.

well, it's not for you or me. you can argue FB is equally garbage. but they're monetizing 10x better.

As the lockup expires today, the stock lost 2%... fundamentally I think Pinterest is a super-solid stock. Ad revenue could be much higher--they don't charge anywhere close to $FB. Also, I feel like there so much potential with AI-enhanced shopping... Pinterest is at the forefront. What are...

I run my own spreadsheets and then apply Tab to visualize. Raw numbers is OK if you're doing for yourself. But imagine you have clients. Like retail clients. How do you demonstrate your points then?

Wanted to see if you guys have any thoughts on what's missing among investment tools today? Are there things you wish you had but you don't have? For me, the biggest issue is complexity... Here are my wishes: 1. Would love to have an alerts app that tells me when a stock or ETF drops xx%...

Curious to know, what do you guys think about Nuveen's NVG and NAD as income opportunities for someone trying to maximize income and avoid the tax penalty? Investing in AMT-free municipal securities with yields north of 4.5% via ETFs... how real is that?

maybe, but first needs to get down to 2700 or less...

If I understand correctly you can trade options for free? that's huge! Also, you have free pre-hours trading? that's huge as well.

I just read this article where alternatives to investing SPY are discussed (https://www.finstead.com/posts/SPY-ETF-review). My thought after reading this was, SPY is narrow (only 500 stocks) and relatively expensive (vs. IVV and VOO). Why do people choose to invest in SPY vs. IVV and VOO? Is...

I put them side to side and think they are pretty similar: https://www.finstead.com/bot?s=pgx%20vs%20pff Both seem like excellent choices. Huge return. Stellar dividend. Caution: checked out the top holdings (https://www.finstead.com/bot?s=pgx%20holdings) and it seems like they are heavily...

All good. What's your differentiation vs. other 0-commission providers?

I agree with your reasoning... mutual funds for retirement / 401K primarily. You can do DCA with Vanguard ETFs too (if you have a Vanguard account). You can compare Landonfisher's choice of funds to SPY, QQQ etc here Just type e.g., VFIAX vs. SPY. You'll see the results--very similar--since...

Totally agreed. Landon's comment on Storm are understandable... this is a 19-year old kid who's having a hard time running an UpWork-style of outsourcing and he resorts to coins to gain traction? C'mon... have to be kidding me.

Most of the folks on Elite Trader not big on Cryptos, but thanks for the post.

The answer is obviously yes. But I think the market may be over reacting now...

I agree with Scatapahgos... not to be biased by recent events:) If you'd looking for some good ideas, check out this list... the only thing is, wish they had more fixed income funds. another idea--wait a bit before committing more cash. my 2c.

When would retire? 2045? 2040? If so try one of the balanced funds, e.g., the one from Vanguard Chester 2045 Target retirement. I agree with DaveV you should be shooting for a more aggressive fund.

I'm a big fan of passive investing, so my point of view is that you can't go wrong with VGTSX. But both OAKIX and VWIGX are amazing active funds. OAKIX is kind of pricey (expense ratio is close to 1%). VWIGX is close to 0.5%. You can compare the funds here, just type VGTSX vs. OAKIX and...

I'd go with ETFs. You can choose 0-cost brokerage, so you don't have to pay trading fees. If you invest with Vanguard, they can do automatic capital gains and dividend re-investments for you. Big advantages of ETFs are: 1. cost and 2. tax efficiency. Even some basic mutual funds can be very...

True, not sure if you apply that to Schwab to Vanguard though:) Happy holidays.
