Struggling to understand this index change
OK, I get the surface difference, but beyond that I'm a bit flummoxed... iShares recently changed two of their ETFs, ILCB and ISCB -- read the symbol as Large Cap Blend and Small Cap Blend, where blend includes both Growth and Value. In addition to a technical change in fund …
Roth and Traditional IRA investing strategy

Sharing little progress with you
Hi! I'd like to share the little progress I've made these years. I started this portfolio in 2022 carving out money from family, friends and all my savings. We started with $10,600 USD; it may not be much, but I hope we can watch it grow together. I will be …

When to get back into the market
Like many investors, I moved to a cash position once Donald Trump took office. Everytbing I researched said his policies would tank the market. I also followed many commentators that said the same thing. This was proven correct by the dip with the tarriffs. I also expected the Iran war …
Goldman Sachs: The S&P 500 Has Disconnected From the Market – and No Longer Reflects Macro Risks
Goldman Sachs derivatives traders report that the S&P 500 index has disconnected from traditional macroeconomic indicators such as interest rates, crude oil, and credit spreads, effectively no longer acting as the market's clearing price for broad macro risks. Instead, the index is operating as a standalone asset whose performance is …
Daytrading vs swing trading
I’ve been trading future options for a couple of months and I’m noticing my setup is only on certain markets and it needs to be volital. I have a friend who told me that he swings and he’s really successful. I trade support and resistance zones with icc and I …
