The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yes, in general it works. Even rotational strategies, which require exact number of shares (i.e. 58 QQEW) can be replicated despite the contract size of 100 per contract. But when you are a resident of the EU, you might as well use a US broker, many of which let you acquire ETFs which have no KID without the trick. Some, like SCHWAB (TOS) or IB won`t, others like Tastytrade, eOptions or Tradestation won`t pose a problem. Still, for EU based clients IB-Ireland would be the most economical solution, as they allow all customers Portfolio Margin, even on account sizes of less than 20k.
