If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

Hot off presses from Blackrock (iShares). Capped (at 3%) market weighted S&P 500 ETF. I think it's nice compromise between market cap weighted and equal weighted. .09% net / .15% gross expense ratio.

It's only two days old so volume could be problem unless Blackrock primes pump.

I like it. You can tell because I omitted all articles (a/an/the) in this post. My first and second languages don't have articles, they just slow you down when you're excited and want to shout something from rooftop.

More soberly, EUSA and GSEW are also good alternatives to RSP as purely equal weighted ETFs. Not exactly S&P 500 but close enough for government purposes.
