Different Perspectives for Online Retail ETFs

Discussion in 'ETFs' started by Christheendlesslearner, Aug 1, 2021.

  1. This is not financial advise and should not be taken as such.
    I am trying to make some longer term investments with some growth but also a decent dividend. Right now I feel like is a great time to buy considering amazon and other online retailers are dipping. I have been researching ONLN because 23% of its holdings are amazon and the other top 4 are reputable names such as Ebay. I am skeptical of buying online retail shares because everything is/was opening back up but now the CDC is hinting at another possible lockdown. If you have anything to share please comment on this post. Anything helps. Thanks

    Simple to build such an ETF by yourself :

    Or from :

    Overall ETF's is as Warren said :
    ,,Diversification is a protection against ignorance"

    Because -

    One pays the managment fee for something that he could do by himself.
    Most folks are not aware of the ,,quality" of the equities inside.
    They don't know the timing of managers (are they bottom fishing)
    Exposure in a single equity, quite often might be an issue.
    (Like 1/4 of OLNL ETF is AMZN)


    You have no control over the things above. When you do it yourself - you're in charge & without managment fees.

    Best way to do it at these market levels -

    Start with BABA.

    ONLN dividend yield is 1.2%; For a higher yielding tech ETF consider TDIV which has a 2.3% dividend yield.
     
  4. %%
    MANY of those tech ETFs are good, IF buying in AUG, and or SEPT...... Scale in is one of several ways to do it.
    IN 2021, SPY or DOW may do better/not a prediction.
     
  5. %%
    MAY want to consider IBUY + or ARKF also........................................
