Episode notes

When you're trading highly liquid ETFs like the Vanguard funds in our sample portfolios, that you're not looking at much of a bitter ask spread. It still is a best practice to use limit orders, even though you can probably get away with market orders on things like VTI or TLT. And it shouldn't really cost you too much unless you're doing a lot of trading. They will be able to give each man hope and a common future. Those are the days worth living for.

In this episode we answer emails from Eric (x2), Ron and Jeffrey. We discuss the EconoMe Conference, my friendship with Diania Merriam, bid/ask spreads at various brokerages, an exquisite analysis of margin leverage vs. leveraged ETFs and the gold/gold miner fund GDMN.
