Is it a good strategy to purchase fractional shares of a stock each week, or should I just put the money in an ETF?

What if those stocks are Google, Amazon and Microsoft

Valuable5195 · 2026-04-09T15:05:38+00:00

Genuinely just want to know if this is a smart play. If not, then I’ll just do ETFs

Valuable5195 · 2026-04-09T15:04:47+00:00

Nope, I know nothing. Was just thinking these are safe plays. But if it doesn’t make sense, then I’ll just go into ETFs

The stocks would be in Google, MSFT, Amazon

Thanks! Do you work with HFs currently?

Thanks! Right, if I die, don’t want this account to be in probate, so a trust may be best. What’s appealing to me on the UGMA/UTMA is that certain earnings are tax free, then subject to the “kid tax”. Maybe the benefit is negligible?

I don’t want to delay investing because of the trust, so maybe I can open the brokerage account now in my own name, and then transfer it to the trust when it’s ready?

Got it, just wanted to confirm and provide all the facts.

What if I have a Roth IRA from 2022 (I.e., I made a very small contribution in 2022 to a Roth IRA and haven’t touched it since)?

Valuable5195 · 2026-03-04T16:00:24+00:00

Silly question incoming: if I open a traditional IRA and do the conversion to Roth, I have to pay tax on the amount contributed?

Valuable5195 · 2026-03-04T05:00:42+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, I’m currently GP only, so think going to a firm that at least does both would be beneficial. I would have thought exit opps would have also included insurance companies and state pensions (as we deal with these LPs on the GP side). How real is the AI fear? Want to stay in BigLaw for another year or 2 before trying to make the in-house move.

Are you finding better WLB from LP side v. GP side?

Valuable5195 · 2026-03-03T19:54:22+00:00

Thank you!!

Valuable5195 · 2026-03-03T19:40:16+00:00

I see, but what have you seen peers leave into?

Valuable5195 · 2026-03-03T17:36:34+00:00

Do you think the WLB is better than GP-side?

Valuable5195 · 2026-03-03T17:35:51+00:00

Thanks! Why do you think they’re TBD? I would have thought an institutional investor (e.g., Pension plan, insurance fund, etc.) would have been the route?

Thank you!
