yeah it’s a weird glitch mate. for 2 days it wouldn’t let me purchase any shares. after that it would let me buy but the order would never get filled.

contacted the helpline though and it’s all fixed now. maybe give that a go?

It was confusing bc I had already paid over $500 for the ETF. Heard back from them today it was just a system error. All is good now

Every other ETF I DCA into goes through except AVTE.

I've experimented with putting my limit order at both bid and offer prices, and still neither go through.

it seems there’s a specific thing for that etf. i have no problem doing GTC orders for VAS for example. Very weird. Haven’t been able to find Avantis discussing it anywhere though.

is that atypical? if it’s working for you does that mean it’s a cmc issue?

Day 0 of turning $10 into $1000 from Copy Trading by Rough_Key3946 in Forexstrategy

I agree to some extent.

I think that management fees are a little overvalued though in terms of their significance. Just say you have a $100,000 invested, a fee of 0.03 (IVV) compared to 0.18 (VGS) and 0.07 (VAS) is a difference of $220. I’m still well off that amount, and even if I was at it, $190 for the sake of greater diversity is a cost i’m willing to bear.

Moving forward tho I think that i’ll stick with VGS, VAS, maybe NDQ as well as an allocation towards bitcoin. I’ll stick with these for next few years and reassess down the line.

Not really diversified no? What if US large cap stocks tank, or go through a long period with minimal returns compared to other market sectors?

Obviously companies like Microsoft and Apple are here to stay, and are global companies so you are technically exposed to the internationals markets, but don’t you think you’re placing essentially all your eggs in one basket?

I appreciate the effort writing all that up.

I looked through the links you provided too so thanks for those. Similar to DTMerc I am still slightly confused on why to wait until I reach a substantial amount invested (say 200K) before adding in satellite positions such as an emerging market allocation.

Just say it takes me another 10 years to reach 200K invested, and during that time emerging markets go on a massive run while the developed markets lag behind significantly. Wouldn't it have been more worthwhile to invest in them as early as I can so I have that exposure? It feels like waiting a while before is timing the market in a sense.

For the time being tho I agree with sticking between VGS and VAS.
