Well, it’s the first weekend in June and it looks like the first beach weekend of the year here at the Jersey Shore. After 3 inches of rain last weekend though, I’ll take any kind of weather that isn’t wet. Hopefully wherever you are reading this will have nice weather as well and we can all have a nice relaxing weekend! Be back on Monday!
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
‘The Benefits and Drawbacks of Active ETFs’ – Ben Johnson – Morningstar
- Nobody breaks down the ETF space quite like Ben. In his latest post, he writes about active ETFs. While that may sound like a contradiction to some people, there are some ups and downs to utilizing these innovative funds.
‘This Isn’t Your Grandfather’s Mania’ – Michael Batnick – The Irrelevant Investor
- We’re turning the clocks back to January 2021 where meme stocks are flying “to the moon”. Michael writes about AMC and the investor behavior surrounding it. The market dynamics and environment have certainly changed in a few ways since other market “manias”.
‘Why Inflation is Both Good and Bad For Your Wallet’ – Greg Iacurci – CNBC
- Most times people associate the word “inflation” to be a bad thing for the economy, and markets. However, there are situations where inflation can be good for the consumer. This post outlines the good and bad of inflation.
- After the pandemic hit the US, there has been a push to incorporate personal finance education in schools across the country. In my opinion, it shouldn’t have taken a pandemic to get this ball rolling, but I’ll take it! A great step in the right direction towards proper personal finance education.
ENJOY!
