This week is going to focus on ETF’s. Not exciting, nothing special, nothing new; in other words, smart investing.

Fidelity is hosting/sponsoring a webinar about ETFs next week. We didn’t read very closely, all we know is that October 19th will be a great day to learn about ETFs from professionals.

1. BNDD - $14.18/share, 4.11% annual yield. This ETF benefits most from interest rates going lower or negative. … …

   TD Ameritrade is showing 44% yield for some reason, but Nasdaq’s history of distributions reveals 4.11%.
   
   Whatever the hell is going on here, we don’t care. The name is Quadratic Deflation ETF. That’s literally all we need to know.
   
   

2. COMB - $21.78/share, 32.1% and 32.4% yield reported by TD Ameritrade and Nasdaq, respectively.
   
   Well goddamn. What we liked more was its history of gains. 2023 isn’t looking great, but over 10 years this ETF has performed very well in most of those years. GraniteShare Bloomberg Commodity Broad Strategy No K-1.
   
   We always forget that some ETFs will generate a K-1, largely because most that we hold don’t (and it’s more of a PTP thing).
   
   

3. MVRL - $16.16/share, 22.59% and 21.16% annualized yields reported by TD and Nasdaq.com. NICE.
   
   This is a leveraged ETF, and the price is down right now. ETRACS Monthly Pay 1.5X Leveraged Mortgage REIT ETN We like ETRACS ETFs. We like leveraged ETFs.
   
   Leveraged ETFs are typically meant for day traders, but the dirty secret nobody tells you is that they’re great for buy and hold, as well. They…”They”….try to discourage holding long-term, but if you invest at regular intervals into leveraged ETFs, you’ll most likely make serious bank.
   
   This is super duper effective with a leveraged ETF that tracks the S&P 500.
   
   

4. SVOL - $22.20/share, 16.97% and 16.04% between TD and Nasdaq. And its history is….Jesus Christ…very impressive. Simplify Volatility Premium ETF
   
   Well, alright then!
   
   

5. BITO - $13.62/share, 19.80% and 34.02% Wow, usually TD is higher, and Nasdaq is usually more accurate.
   
   This is a Bitcoin ETF, so 34% might be accurate. In any case, we’re talking about some dead serious double digits with this one.
