Commented earlier. ETFs are not the real thing. They are a speculative play on the futures markets (derivatives). If a sponsor of and ETF decides to close it, you get nothing. At least recognize that you are playing a speculation game. If you want the real thing, buy the real thing. Futures contracts have been cash settlement only for a long time.

You can buy them on a trading platform (stock trading). Most people, myself included, refer to ETF's as "stocks" even though ETF is the proper technical term for these. I'm using TradeStation myself and really like how it will let you link to Tradingview.com and trade directly from the charts there, but there are several other popular ones (Robinhood, Webull, etc.)

I use Ally. Many people use Robinhood but I had a problem and their customer service is useless.

Yes, and they pay pretty good interest on their savings account, which you can transfer back and forth from saving to your stock account.

Manno, the ol' g. These ETFs are hot. But honestly pdbc and ETFs similar are the line. Hell of great work manno. My question is is this going to play out till the coming years? Because honestly I believe this is being played into the election.
