Started Accumulation Small Cap Blend Equities (EES)

We began accumulating the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Earnings Fund (EES) today. Folks, you’ve gotta buy this stuff when it’s on sale.

We sold our holdings in IJR to buy EES. There’s nothing wrong with holding IJR long -term in my opinion; we’re just moving our small cap blend holdings to EES because it is offered at my brokerage commission free.
