Surprised this isn’t being talked about more. Seems this was a very calculated time to announce this spectrum purchase. IPO investors likely will benefit from the headline as many 120 day locked investors, insiders, and employees will benefit able to sell their SpaceX shares starting tomorrow.
Buying a fund does not do that, look at look at FXNAX and FTBFX for instance, lots of volatility and negative returns. Does buying a individual bond and holding it to maturity ensure the rate? I am looking at this wrong? Is there a way to buy individual securities like that with Fidelity or Vanguard?
I am looking to park a fairly substantial amount for ~6 months. Should I just get a CD instead?

The goal is to take initial out once individual stocks double and invest it into broad market index funds holding ETFs until retirement
Still early days with a lot of these holdings. Interested to hear what people think of the overall mix and whether you reckon I’m spreading things too thin.
What would you do different ?
With the recent news about Webull's China ties, I've been thinking about how much most of us actually look into a broker's ownership and data policies before opening an account.
Most people probably compare fees, charts, and trading features first. But knowing where your data is stored and who can access it seems worth looking into too.
What do you guys check before trusting a broker with your personal and financial information? And would news like this make you reconsider using a platform, or would you wait for more details first?
