  You’re better off managing your own portfolio with no ongoing costs that are incurred while you’re invested in an ETF.
  Expense ratios can vary widely, from less than 0.03% to over 10% while invested in ETF’s.

She said her outlook for interest rates was consistent with the median projection officials released after the Fed’s December meeting, which pointed to two quarter-point reductions this year.Also speaking Thursday, Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker said he’s prepared to support additional rate cuts in 2025, but the timing would depend on what happens in the economy.“I still see us on a downward policy rate path. Looking at everything before me now, I am not about to walk off this path or turn around,” Harker said. “But the exact speed I continue to go along this path will be fully dependent upon the incoming data.”Policymakers cut interest rates for a third consecutive time at their December gathering, lowering their benchmark by a quarter percentage point and bringing the total amount of reductions last year to a full percentage point. Many Fed officials have said it’s now appropriate to slow down the pace of rate cuts as inflation remains above their 2% target and the labor market healthy.Investors widely expect policymakers to hold rates steady when they gather in Washington Jan. 28-29, according to pricing in futures contracts.Collins said Thursday her support for the December move was a “close call.”“On balance, the December cut provided some additional insurance to preserve healthy labor market conditions while maintaining a restrictive policy stance that is still needed to sustainably restore price stability,” Collins said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":391060277739664,"gmtCreate":1736479562330,"gmtModify":1736479567220,"authorId":4189136748353782,"author":{"id":4189136748353782,"idStr":"4189136748353782","authorId":4189136748353782,"name":"Reglloyd","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/71917acef5ce8717b38e7f29252bca57","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[{"badgeId":"9427a906234c4b18a82ec3d7730b7fa8-1","templateUuid":"9427a906234c4b18a82ec3d7730b7fa8","name":"Star Contributor","description":"Published at least 3 PICK posts (or 10 IDEA posts) and, within the past 30 days, posted at least 1 PICK post (or 4 IDEA posts) and 1 comment","bigImgUrl":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1866dcf97a73be1c330f85862546aedc","smallImgUrl":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4f5c5fa8e2c7683bb5a7fce8753ee456","redirectLinkEnabled":1,"redirectLink":"https://ttm.financial/activity/market/2023/star-contributors/","hasAllocated":1,"isWearing":0,"stampPosition":0,"hasStamp":0,"allocationCount":1,"allocatedDate":"2025.01.22","individualDisplayEnabled":1,"backgroundColor":{"dark":"#675a37","tint":"#f9ebc2"},"fontColor":{"dark":"#ffffff","tint":"#ab7a0e"},"individualDisplaySort":1,"categoryType":2007}]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":390918115201096,"type":1,"supId":390904881930720,"prevId":0,"content":"You’re better off managing your own portfolio with no ongoing costs that are incurred while you’re invested in an ETF. \n<br>Expense ratios can vary widely, from less than 0.03% to over 10% while invested in ETF’s.","text":"You’re better off managing your own portfolio with no ongoing costs that are incurred while you’re invested in an ETF. \n<br>Expense ratios can vary widely, from less than 0.03% to over 10% while invested in ETF’s.","html":"You’re better off managing your own portfolio with no ongoing costs that are incurred while you’re invested in an ETF. \n<br>Expense ratios can vary widely, from less than 0.03% to over 10% while invested in ETF’s."},{"id":390904881930720,"gmtCreate":1736477543384,"gmtModify":1736478105795,"authorId":9000000000000203,"author":{"id":9000000000000203,"idStr":"9000000000000203","authorId":9000000000000203,"name":"MichaelPerez","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3eb335d4670b62d2f6f58595a4ebf23b","vip":8,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":390918115201096,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Have you considered diversifying into some ETFs?","text":"Have you considered diversifying into some ETFs?","html":"Have you considered diversifying into some ETFs?"}],"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":9,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":1,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
