Two diff questions, but posting together :
1. Anyone still positive about Chinese ETFs long term? They are down significantly but I'm wary
2. IG Bond ETFs - would you invest in the current market for long term hold? Why/why not? Which one do you recommend looking into?

I bought into Chinese govt. held entities, like Petrochina. I’m cautious about the private ones even though they are cheap.

IG bonds theoretically rise faster than stocks at the point economic recovery starts and hasn’t gained momentum yet, but of late, they’ve been behaving like stocks. I tried a couple of times when the outlook improved during the pandemic, it just isn’t working. If you want JNK and IShares IBOXX are the better known ones.

Ofc, DYOR, not financial advise!

Also, if you see, most Chinese ETFs have Alibaba, Tencent, JD as top holdings, all of which fell out of favor with the govt

There was a leaked government email showing they were actively encouraging public Chinese entities to use govt backed cloud providers instead of private like Alibaba. Seems govt is falling out more and more. What do you reckon the future could hold for it in 10 yrs?

5 years post-MBA and all my classmates are VPs in industry or Principals in consulting/IB (some are even Partners/MDs already). I sat in the same classes with these folks for 2 years — probably outperformed some of them academically. Yet, here I am continuing to struggle with my student debt payments, hoping that “Uncle Joe” forgives 20% of it. I’ll never have that kind of earning potential because I didn’t come from the “right background” pre-MBA.

Let’s say you have two young, high income partners in a couple who want to buy a house together but don’t really care to get married.

I realize there isn’t a “right” answer but I’m interested in people’s experiences here.

I thought it adds value to have whirlpool tub. But can’t even change fixture. Should I get rid of it?
