Would rather invest in US Indices for nominal fees that are less than .1%. 1% is a very high fee that reduces the hassle of opening a Zerodha NRO account. 1% is 4 times the fee of Wealthfront, the company you are trying to replicate.


This is also a more efficient way of investing, which leads to higher returns because of low tracking errors. The fee more than covers for itself with the return delta you get here, refer the comment on investing in India ETF vs investing here.


Arent ETFs tracking Indices a better option rather than Index Funds itself because of the PFIC rules?


exactly, my cpa cited PFIC reporting rules as doubling the cost of my file


Based on what I have seen, Robinhood either doesnt give/doesnt have access to every IPO? Am I wrong?


Correct. Use a real broker.


Exactly, why only for under 18s? This should be available for everybody.


I am playing devils advocate here, but if you are the solider in Abu Gharaib torture photos, I am not sure you should have a right to purge the internet search of those photos.

So there had to be a middle ground between freedom to find information and an individual's privacy. Do you want Google drawing that line?


If you are the soldier in Abu Ghraib torture photos, you should be judged by the court of law, not bullied by neighbours and online mob who make mistakes too often.

> Do you want Google drawing that line?

Yes, this is the correct question.


They have already drawn that line, or at least the EU right to be forgotten has. All sorts of results are missing when searching from an EU member state (or the UK). I'm not sure I agree with it, but we seem we'll past the line already...


That is a difference in the European understanding of punishment and especially redemption. After your punishment was served, what redemption is possible when your acts cannot be forgotten?

The dignity of the human being is untouchable (paragraph 1 of the German constitution). What dignity can you expect when a nude picture of you exist online. Or of a stupid speech you gave. Or of your childhood carneval costume as a Nazi. Or when mug shot of DUI incident is online. Or when your stupid, disgusting, humiliating behavior as a soldier in Iraq is documented everywhere after you served for your war crime. When you have the concept of redemption in your society, than it needs to be feasible to be redeemed.

Yes I understand that there are extreme examples but it falls in the same category if you consider the dignity of the human being as the most precious thing.

So a consequence, the right to be forgotten exists.


But it's just an internet search of photos isn't it? You'll still get links to news articles and write-ups and anyone reading about Abu Gharaib tortures will still see these and the accompanying photos. A prospective employer googles your name, it could still come up, just not the photos.


Yeah this is probably why. If this was accessible to you and me, it would be accessible to every ghoul in the public eye. Kids are the only group that can unambiguously be granted unconditional total privacy.


Few questions from my side:

- Is it possible to make indexes of other country equivalents on this platform? Even if those stocks arent listed on US Markets.

- How are the taxes going to work in general if the indexes are actively managed?

- Are the 8949s and 1099s autogenerated for individual users by enombic?

Thanks!



Yep, and they only charge you $75 to leave!


or all the 16 year olds


Or all the 42 year olds, ahem, who are currently learning JS/Node/React. :-/


Speaking of which, I'm also learning Spanish. Liam, I'm from the UK where we only speak one language. The one thing I really, really wish I'd done is to have learned another language. I'm doing it now, but it's so much easier when you're young.

It doesn't even matter what it is – pick one you like the sound of. French, German, Italian, whatever. When you bump in to someone later in life and you hear them speaking another language and you can interact with them, there's no greater satisfaction.

It's almost like a programming language is a language...
