    SSO - SPDR S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Fund ETF

    SSO is a dreadful ETF. It's been listed for over 10 years and has failed to gain traction. That isn't due to it being overlooked as a gem. For StateStreet not to wind it up is an insult. Less than $30 FUM and high MER.

    I don't know why they would even bother. Seems to me they are attempting to apply a rational approach to irrational reactions.

    Trump Era 2025-2029 : Stock and Economic Comment

    Interesting flow on of possible impacts indicating a decoupling of relying on defense from usual supplier to European defense.

    Choosing an ETF

    Too short a time frame. Examine the 1970's and factor that in as a possibility (inflation adjusted.)

    Vaccines

    Yep. My Mum was one of seven children. Three of her siblings died before the age of two due to Diphtheria.

    MIR - Mirrabooka Investments

    I'm being pedantic here @Garpal Gumnut but it can hold unlisted companies. It did, and maybe still does, hold Marketplacer but it wasn't a large holding - around $1m or so. The management is not adverse to incubator activities where it considers it warranted.

    Vaccines
