    IF there was a Q4 2021 or Early 2022 Crash?

    Hello all, I am not expert enough to even date to say what is going to happen. So I listen to the experts and some have stated that there will be a significant correction Q42021 or Early 2022. However, some have even mentioned the possibility of a crash 'ala 2007/8'. My question is, apart from...

    How do IX Short-Term Futures ETF work?

    Hello all, first I apologise if this is not considered a stock or ETF (noobie here). I am curious as to how these sort of investment works. I read the description but it is a bit difficult to grasp. I am especially curious about ProShares Ultra Vix. I noticed the following trends and was...

    Would ETFs Be a Better Option? 2-3k from retirement fund

    I looked into Vanguard, my family in the US uses Ameritrade so I thought it might be easier for me to learn. It's relatively cheap although in order to funnel funds into it, I have to set up a virtual bank like Transferwise or else the conversion fee kills me.

    Would ETFs Be a Better Option? 2-3k from retirement fund

    This is good information. 7-8% is 1-2% percentage points higher than I am currently earning in 30-40 years it has the potential to be a significant difference. Technical and noobie question. When you mention the Dalio Portfolio, how would I go on about actually buying this. Does this mean I...

    Would ETFs Be a Better Option? 2-3k from retirement fund

    @Pip Pip Hoorah! Thank you so much for the response and especially for taking the time to answer. One thing I should clarify i that it technically is not a government scheme, here in Chile we are forced to pay 10% (soon to increase to 13%) of our monthly salary towards our own individualized...

    Would ETFs Be a Better Option? 2-3k from retirement fund

    That is a good point but unfortunately no. Due to a special law (after citizen demand) the government is allowing everyone to withdraw 10% of their savings, which is what I plan to do. Maybe through a Chilean Bank I can do it. If not, do you think an option like Ameritrade, Fidelity (or any...

    Would ETFs Be a Better Option? 2-3k from retirement fund

    Thank you :) What would be the best course of action? Would putting that money and letting it sit in an ETF (maybe SP500 one) be a good idea? This is an amount that I'd rather not actively move, just let it sit. It currently is just sitting there in my pension fund, so any other...

    Would ETFs Be a Better Option? 2-3k from retirement fund

    Thank you for the information. I am learning so pardon my complete noobness. 4-6% return is considered 'good'? That is currently the earning of the private-pension administrators in Chile. However, I can take some of it now and was wondering if there is something out there with more...

    Would ETFs Be a Better Option? 2-3k from retirement fund

    Hello all, This is my first post so first, thank you in advance to the community. A little bit of context. I live in Chile where we have a private-pension fund known as AFP. Recent laws would allow me to withdraw about 2-3k USD from my savings for my use (if I wish to exercise it)...
