"Fun fact: $GLD fell on hard times a couple times in its 22yr life as an ETF. At one point it dropped 40% in 6mo and 33% of the assets left in outflows (since then it's taken in like $30b in new cash). This is why I like to point that a) 6-7% of aum leaving is actually quite phenomenal holding ability and b) so what if an asset goes down it happens to all of them. Things go up and down. Flows come and go and come again. The Earth revolves around the Sun. Vanguard cuts fees.

So what's going on here It's SpaceX exposure is via SPV so that adds another variable maybe the fees ate up all the return Agree w Jeff need issuer to come clean. The early skepticism was def warranted. An ETF takes a large SpaceX stake. The orbital infrastructure firms valuation moons. The ETF somehow doesnt seem to participate in those gains.

"Fun fact: $GLD fell on hard times a couple times in its 22yr life as an ETF. At one point it dropped 40% in 6mo and 33% of the assets left in outflows (since then it's taken in like $30b in new cash). This is why I like to point that a) 6-7% of aum leaving is actually quite phenomenal holding ability and b) so what if an asset goes down it happens to all of them. Things go up and down. Flows come and go and come again. The Earth revolves around the Sun. Vanguard cuts fees.

"A great piece by Jeff on $XOVR which seemingly finally marked up its SpaceX holding from $185 to $526 but it didn't impact NAV. So what's going on here It's SpaceX exposure is via SPV so that adds another variable maybe the fees ate up all the return Agree w Jeff need issuer to come clean. The early skepticism was def warranted. An ETF takes a large SpaceX stake. The orbital infrastructure firms valuation moons. The ETF somehow doesnt seem to participate in those gains. And then the manager declares a transparency reset. Yeah that happened. More in my latest Substack here."
