Good video lot of insights on etf

[@PuzzledMei]

I am surprised this video only gets so few views and likes. This is THE most useful information about ETFs out available to public and is totally FREE! Thumbs up and salute to the presenters and publishers.

Probably coz the sound quality makes it sooooo difficult to persevere watching!

[@HighBrocietyBlog]

And probably because clueless people like me who have no real interest in stocks etc don't really understand what is being said. I'm forcing myself to learn this stuff, but it's just so god damn boring.

Very useful information ❤️

When this comment was made, this video had 17869 views. This only shows that the majority of the population is unaware of this and are missing out on future profits.

Is there any certain brokers you would recommend to use to start investing in ETF's ?

[@tonghieu7844]

At 16:00, shouldn't it be excess "supply" rather than "demand"?

[@andreww2319]

Good catch - just love it when you are learning something and the teacher flips the concept the wrong way - accidentally on their part since they know the material backwards (and they don't notice the inversion).

[@christopherdennis4280]

Why is one consumer staples ETF $175 and another $67 with the same top 10 holdings??

[@kanahn7402]

Share price is fairly meaningless.
You need to multiply by the number of shares.
For a common stock, that will give you Market Cap.
For an ETF it will give you Assets Under Management.
To your question, a higher AUM would reflect a more popular ETF. Perhaps due to lower fees or better performance...
