Also I like to look at KRE. Low PE, low quality, but I like isolating the regional bank exposure to see how it performs.

I am going to be converting to a margin account to prevent this from happening. No plans to use actually use margin. After I speak with the banker I will let you all know if it will bypass the 90 day restriction or if that is set in stone regardless.

These weren't day trades. More of a mistake in portfolio positioning that I corrected (sold) without thinking twice about it. May I ask what you did that caused the problem? Was it multiple buys and sells with the same fund? Thanks It was selling an ETF before settlement of the original purchase. Y...

I exited treasuries completely back in March/April 2020 (I was in the 2 yr future). I just bought my first LTT again (via EDV).

Just curious for someone self employed let's say, and because the individual plans are garbage and you can't get a PPO.

Could you just get a group of friends w/ families and create a business and start a group plan under it?

The market is now pricing in that the massive US gov deficit going towards stimulus checks, business funding, state local aid, etc. which is all monetized via the Fed is going to create inflation.

EDV for equity allocations of 60% or greater backtests best Although I am preparing for us to enter a stagflationary regime in which case I will dramatically reduce my duration/treasury exposure (already have for the most part in march 2020), but started to scale back in recently as a deflation hedge.

Doesn't make sense.

People on here seem to have no idea what is happening. For the first time ever we are propping up demand via monetized stimulus. This creates inflation while simultaneously crushing productivity.

VFVA is by far the most valuey. It holds a roughly equal small/mid/large split.

For pure large cap value you can use MGV (mega cap, so you are getting the 148 largest value stocks in market cap weight) or VTV (large cap, you are getting the 333 largest value stocks in market cap weight).
