Listen to The ETF Store Show every Saturday at 4pm on KCMO Talk Radio 710AM as we cover everything you need to know about Exchange Traded Funds and the world of investing.
On our most recent radio show, we discussed the importance of minimizing your investment costs and explained why, unfortunately, many brokers are effectively incentivized to push expensive mutual funds in your portfolio. An easy way to combat these commissioned brokers, many of whom are more concerned about their financial future than yours, is to use an independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) who uses passively managed investments such as ETFs. The ETF Store can be the alternative to your money-grabbing broker – we’re an independent, fee-based RIA that focuses on building highly diversified, low cost portfolios using ETFs.
We encourage everyone to call their advisor today and have them explain to you exactly what you’re paying for your investments and their investment advice. You might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find out. Learn more about how to reduce your investment costs by listening to our full show here.

Listen to The ETF Store Show every Saturday at 4pm on KCMO Talk Radio 710AM as we cover everything you need to know about Exchange Traded Funds and the world of investing.
On our most recent radio show, we discussed the recent headlines dominating the financial news including the Dow Jones Industrial Average finally crossing over the 13,000 mark, the potential bursting of the “bond bubble”, the signs of life in the housing market, the stunning performance of Apple stock, and the upcoming presidential election. In addition, we examined how several ETFs are responding to these headlines and provided some thoughts on how you might position your portfolio.
We also answered several of your questions, including an interesting inquiry on whether it’s better to invest in the precious metals ETFs (such as GLD and SLV) or the related mining ETFs (GDX and SIL). Listen to our full show here.
