Very generally speaking are spdr etfs solid or are they fee sinkholes? 

The expense ratios don't look bad in general, but do vary. Highest I see is 0.7%, down to 0.03%. 

I think the universal thinking is if you want low fee, just go with Vanguard.

The answer to every financial question you'll ever ask.

What index fund should I get?  Just go with Vanguard.

Should I buy BTCN?  Just go with Vanguard

I will say vanguard has protected me from some of my impulses over the last year. I'm almost sure I would have lost money had I kept everything in say td ameritrade.

Partly bc of just how awful/unfriendly their UI is for me (where I have my Roth). And thx for feedback on spdr

At the depth of the Plague I had time on my hands and decided to speculate on some things.  Bought S&P 500 puts, a bond put of somekind and shorted TSLA.  (Only the TSLA short worked, and not much.)  Big headache to get my Vanguard brokerage account set up and it was gonna make me jump through even MORE hoops when I wanted to sell calls.  So I didn't.  Had I done so I'd be a poor today.  Thank you, Vanguard Group!

ETA

Vanguard's UI is better than Fidelity.  Fight me.

In some ways, I perceive Vanguard's low rent UI as a reflection of just how little they spend in certain parts of the company.

So who has the best UI?

I use Schwab. Am I doing it right?

I have both a Schwab and a Fidelity account - I like the Schwab trading platform as it is much better than the Fidelity one IMO. 
Luckily for my the #stonk funds and my options trading is all done in the account at Schwab (or maybe not so lucky)

Tda is pretty strong. 

The fed whispered, “the road goes on forever and the party never ends”

Got rid of about 40% of my VDE at $134 the other day.  I feel like that’s been too easy of a ride and it’s time to rebalance.  Just put it into SPY as I figure out what to do with it. 

China COVID restrictions mean next week will probably be red.  They are going to fuck this up again.

Tda is pretty strong. 

I need to find out if I have an account there.

Seems to me fidelity has the 401k administration market cornered.

Going more defensive today in my 401k and pulling some off the table here in just a bit. I'm usually 75-25 or 80-20 stocks/defensive and right now I made a good move back at the most recent lows going full 100% stocks. Taking 25% off today and another 10% each 100 points we climb from here (4150, 4250) in the s and p up to 50/50 split. Not going bonds though! Just money market.

Expecting a fall next yr? Shit hitting the fan?

Jerome P:  "We are going to stop the rate of increases of interest rates."
Market: "Did you hear that?!!  JP said 'We are going stop the rate of increases of interest rates!  This is great!"

Dow will hit 40,000 in 18 months after supply chain problems have dissipated, the Fed will cut rates, and we'll be back to pre Covid levels of efficiency,  supply-demand reaching equilibrium.

Labor shortage doesn’t seem to have an answer on the horizon. Retirements accelerated and there no backfill readily available.

Fed will increase interest rates trying to maintain the worlds trust in the dollar until the lack of liquidity breaks everything plunging us into a deep recession. The fed pivots too late to prevent recession and the world realizes the only way we can tame inflation is to kill our own economy

If you’re confused, Google yield curve inversion… while you’re at it, review our federal budget and consider what it means when our debt payments and mandatory spending exceed tax revenue

these intermittent days that seem to be melt ups are very confusing to me
including the inverted rate on US treasuries (but this is all confirming that I don't know a damned thing)

- 2yr 3.69
- 5yr 3.79
-10yr 3.61
-30yr 3.58

I'm starting to think the trigger down to new lows will be the fed refusing to lower rates early next year as inflation comes down and economic conditions worsen. Higher for longer is what Powell keeps saying.  I think we head to spy 430 in Q1 and then bottom in Q2. Or we crash tomorrow.  Or we don't crash at all and I'm left holding my dick like always. 

Just throw it in your toilet, you get the same results.

Damned the whole grid is bright green right now.
