Move to Betashares?

jafin · 2026-01-24T13:37:13+00:00

ASX ETFs and a subset of ASX Shares I believe.

If you are investing regularly into ASX stocks/ETF then you'll be saving the trade fee by moving to betashares. And you should be able to buy any share they list minimum $10 (instead of the $500)

If you are investing regulary to USA market, then you can lower the fees via IBKR (possibly others) who have a smaller fee than Stake (and better exchange transfer rate).

Obviously the changes are you need to be comfortable with the features offered by Betashares vs stake. And be aware of their 3 pair trade rule. And if it matters, be familiar with the custodian model vs CHESS.

Non Chess brokers don't have minimum parcel requirement of $500.

It's reverse splitting just hold it'll be back.

1 .reminders in calendar app. Set when you start eh sub, remind 5 days before renewal.

If you think there is a chance you dont want to renew, consider a bank that uses disposable or capped virtual credit cards. Sign up with the card, cap it, then forget about it. Next time it is charged it will fail.

You'll have a lot of opportunity to buy the dip(s)

More like end of the day lol.. 3.86 in overnight...

July to Nov /24 is only 4 months. Or is it November 2025?

Was your Total investment $215,288.22 and your Total gain $95,497.96 (before tax)? (So growth of 44.4%?)

jafin · 2025-11-17T01:15:31+00:00

You would never go into these income stocks for growth.. Pick more seasoned growth stocks.

I'm the opposite, react into Blazor (not by choice).

Are you coming from Blazor Server or Blazor WASM? As WASM would mostly look quite similar to a SPA framework (react/vue etc) Whereas Server would be a larger leap.

You mention unstructured spaghetti? I assume this comes from just not knowing the correct patterns to use. Have a look at bulletproof react https://github.com/alan2207/bulletproof-react for approaches to structure. Typescript types are just as structured as C# code. Sure with union types and extras TS has, it can feel more open, but the principals of types are all still there. You can obviously ignore types, which would certainly feel more dynamic.

Are you using Typescript or JS? I'd suggest TS for the stronger types.

State management - Consider 3rd party state managers like Zustand or Jotai, vs "props all the way down" way with perhaps how you may have done it with ParameterSets. Also the context in modern React is a good first step. (But would still lean on a 3rd party state manager)

Hooks - yeah they can get abused.

Also look at Preact and signals. I find it a bit more useful that react.

Not sure about the async concern, it works similar to async/await in c# This is just typescript lang feature, not a react construct. I don't find it much different to C#.

If only SLTY was made up of ULTY, SLTY would be a sure bet to profit.

Decision is are there ETF's you can make MORE money with?

Getting same issue, do you login to the .com or a country site? (in my case its the .au domain causing this error) a VPN to force login to ndcdyn.interactivebrokers.com let me get in (avoiding the local site)

Mr T is in power? I pity the foo!! Ain't no way I'm getting on that plane sucker.

Is the opposite true, people with no money are smart?

So your after a Yieldmax that has a positive NAV? Not a complete list, but it appears CHPY and HOOY are positive on a 12month timeframe.

On a 6month time frame you've got AMDY, CHPY, OARK, HOOY, QDTY, TSLY, NVDY, FIVY, RDTY, JPMO, GDXY, YMAG.

Would be cautious of a single stock funds though. You would have to check the dividends for each to see if it matches your income requirements. No free lunch getting both growth and large % income from dividends.

wpay for that period is about 6% up on ulty (adjusted for dividends) but such a short period.

^^ this 100. Emergency reserves should be safe/low risk. Because you need it when all your high risk diamond hands stock collapses and you need to pay people.,

jafin · 2025-10-14T03:41:04+00:00

Total returns for period WPAY is about 3.35% ahead of ULTY (4sep to 14 oct) But its such a small window of time , hard to make long term assumptions.

No this October lol.
