True, VMWare is integrated into a lot of corporate environments, but... They will be a dinosaur soon if they don't innovate.

Does anyone here use acorns?

I do, but not too heavy. I use my CSR card for all of my purchases, so the run off from that is the only thing funding my Acorns account atm.

I go with the most conservative portfolio setting (I think it's like 50% bonds) and basically use it as an extra savings account, cash out once or twice a year for extra travel money.

Acorns is cool but you can save a little on fees if you just auto deposit in a index fund


What’s the Catch?
The biggest catch with an Acorns account is the cost. Unlike other robo-advisors, Acorns charges a flat management fee. Spending just $1 each month sounds great, but it can actually work out to a high percentage of your assets if you don’t have a lot of money in your account.

Imagine you have $500 in your account. A $1 fee would equal 0.20% of your assets under management (AUM). At 0.20% each month, that comes out to an annual fee of 2.40% if you maintain a $500 balance in your account. That’s a very high rate compared to other robo-advisors, which typically charge an annual rate of 0.50% or less. So if you opt for one of Acorns’ more expensive plans and don't keep a high balance, your costs could be high.

On the flip side, the flat monthly fee also translates to a relatively low rate if you have more in your account. With Acorns Lite ($1/month), an account balance of $5,000 would bring your annual fee down to about 0.24%, which is similar to the management fee from other popular robo-advisors. You would need about $13,000 with an Acorns Personal account to get down to a fee of 0.25%. Once your account is that large, the monthly fees from Acorns become a much better deal.

With that said, you should be aware that the ETFs that Acorns invests your money in will charge their own fees. Acorns says it bakes these fees into the prices of the ETF shares.

So what’s the best way to do this. I got shiba, some doge but I want to start learning how y’all run these shorts and whatnot. I want to avoid paying high fees however. What is the best platform or one you recommend? Also, when you make profits, what is ur next step? Do you withdraw all your earnings or withdraw say 50% and leave the rest for continued growth?

Acorns isn't for active trading. Its linked to your debit card and take the spare change to the nearest dollar from your spending (if u buy something for $3.75 it takes the .25) you can double or triple that if you want. It when you get to $5 it invests it for you.

for what you are asking. Probably td ameritrade, robinhood, fedility, webull.
Honestly i have a financial advisor handling bigger portfolio. I peak my head in this thread/mess around here and there,but some of the other brothers here who are more informed may be able to better guide you.

Makes sense, but you better not be paying someone for putting your money in a target date fund.

What is the yearly rate of return your financial advisor gets you? Seems like you're just better off investing in an mutual fund or etf. If you don't like picking individual stocks.
