No doubts, the banks are "teefs" anyway, I think we can all agree on that Mr Fraudbuster Gm,..I also agree that the shares can be too rich for some including myself, but comes under S&P 500, so you still can get benefit. However at the same time your money has to work harder than you do otherwise inflation eats it up. 1 dollar today is worth far less than it did 20 yrs ago.

My investment is now 780 dollars from $450, in a little less than 4 months, BETTER THAN IF I LEFT IT AT THE BANK ON FIXED DEPOSIT AT A RATE OF 3.6%, I'm already at 6.23% and the year is not over yet, so I'm hoping for 10% by the end of the year Dec 2026.

Now how do you explain this "piece" of benefit that I have collected Mr Fraudbuster Gm???
