The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Hot off presses from Blackrock (iShares). Capped (at 3%) market weighted S&P 500 ETF. I think it's nice compromise between market cap weighted and equal weighted. .09% net / .15% gross expense ratio.

It's only two days old so volume could be problem unless Blackrock primes pump.

I like it. You can tell because I omitted all articles (a/an/the) in this post. My first and second languages don't have articles, they just slow you down when you're excited and want to shout something from rooftop.

More soberly, EUSA and GSEW are also good alternatives to RSP as purely equal weighted ETFs. Not exactly S&P 500 but close enough for government purposes.
