@TheShadow - I'm confused. Which SPAC is inactive?
The way I read you initial post is that Mr. Sherman and Mr. Whitney would be managing an ETF comprised of SPAC's. At least that's what the SEC document says also.

@BenWP - from what I've been able to find:
What is SHIBA INU
From its inception, Shiba Inu has done things differently. Starting with a supply of 1 quadrillion, Shiba Inu founder, Ryoshi, locked 50% in Uniswap, then “burned” the other half to Ethe…
Interesting. I only say this because this is the second time in the last few days that a seemingly well regarded fund manager has appeared to be offering a new fund modeled in the Kathie Wood's mode who many on this discussion board feel is nuts. Th…
Modest drops in the broad market like today always have me looking at things I'd like to incrementally add to and rarely at things to sell. Sometimes I snack a bit but usually not.
@Sven - and again I'm of the opinion, but I have no evidence to support it, that the uber-rich individuals are connected in a way to play the same game that your average Joe can't.
But hey, anyone of modest means please try to sell an ETF that you …
@davfor - If I understand what you are trying to say then I disagree with your statement above "Passage of this bill would force taxable account investors to buy and hold onto individual stocks to continue to receive some of the advantages available…
Good! I'm hoping that it passes. I am sick and tired of the (tax) advantages handed to those who already have, at the expense of those who struggle dad by day to get by. If all men are created equal then tax them equally and close, eliminate, or rub…
Just curious here, how will selling their stock holdings and putting them into cash or index funds make one wit of difference? To my feeble brain they still have an insiders view of the Fed's decision making and apparently have no reservations about…
It is helpful maybe to remember that old skeet held 60-70 mutual funds at that time so to the unaware he had an insiders look or hand in all the great funds. I'm in no way saying that he didn't but when a investor is that spread out they are bound t…
Judging by another discussion thread on this board Vanguard seems lacking in customer service through their own organization and in addition they don't think it's necessary to subsidize another organization (Schwab) for doing it for them. Good plan.
Yes @msf, I wasn't suggesting anything nefarious or against regulations. I just think that certain fund managers might get a 5-10 minute chat or a meet up that lesser known or renowned fund managers might not AND as you noted "where the way the resp…
Does anyone suppose that manager longevity not only relates to their performance success but also to their access to businesses and company managers they've built up over the years? I tend to think that the likes of Danoff, Tillinghast, Miller, etc.…
What's TINA camp please?
I have been selling my less than stalwart equity positions but I am hanging on to my aristocrats. I'm not deploying any new cash at this time because of the challenges you alluded to. Most of what I'd like to add to seems w…
@bee - Rob Kapito, President, BlackRock Advisors tends to agree with Ms. Sonders. In his commentary to the BlackRock Funds semi-annual report he states:
"Looking ahead, while coronavirus-related disruptions have clearly hindered worldwide economic …
@LewisBraham - you speak as though she is deceiving/conning her investors and stealing their money. Is anyone forcing investors to hand their money over to her? Are her investors not capable of reading, finding, or hearing the same information we b…
I'll draw your attention to the chart in the CEF Analyzer link. Click on the 2Yr option and look at April of 2020. If you can handle a $5 drop in market price then explore the other tabs on the website as well. Note also the drop in distributions ov…
I have not read any of these yet. When and if I do decide to invest in one it will be one more focused on the moving parts (i.e. charging stations, batteries, machining tools, etc.) rather than any one focused on particular EV auto manufacturer.
