Wow, this one is gonna be fun🤣

haha i get so many shilos from people about finance that I figure this is an important group

The question I am most interested in right now are the halachos regarding https://beisvaad.blogspot.com/2015/10/doing-daf-donor-advised-funds.html

There are a bunch of topics that regularly come up that I need to get halachic answers to regarding frum.finanace. There are also many topics that existing rabbinic answers are out there and its unclear how well versed the Rov was that gave the psak on finance. I am trying to gain clarify for myself but also for all of you on topics that have come up, but also, on topics going forward. I would like to create a larger group of rabonim who either are already familiar with finance or are willing to learn to help paskin the different shilos that are brought to us as an organization, and also to give maskana on the work that is being done. I have a small handful of rabonim that have shown interest, and a couple that have given maskana, and I would really like to expand this out. Does anyone know anyone who would be a good fit for this? Willing to help us out on matters of halachah that come up? Willing to give maskana on the work being done here or help write piskei dinim that we can share to clarify certain issues?

Here’s a question I have been wondering. There are a lot of frum-run “Deals” WhatsApps and sites that advertise “PRICE MISTAKE!!” with some cheap product. Wouldn’t buying such a product be halchically prohibited? IIRC the Rambam speaks about this and says you have to return the difference, regardless of who the seller is.

I'm curious about the different ways people pay meisser on dividends, especially on larger long term investments where there would be an advantage to auto-reinvesting them

frum.finance, a non profit and registered 501c3 has a credit card. That credit card earns travel reward points. Can those points only be used for business travel? Obviously I'll ask a Rov, but it's a great theoretical!

lol that this is the channel with the least activity. I guess we're more into "finance" here and less into "frum"? lolsob

WhatsApp group circulates a "PRICE MISTAKE!!!!" Can I buy the item, or is it g'neivas ha'daas? Does it make any difference if the group also solicits Tzedukah and posts news about Chassidishe Rebbes visiting Queens?

Anyone have experience with giving chomesh? If so, What were your concerns, hypotheses and your observations? What was the outcome?

Any known halachic issue with investing life insurance payouts due to it being נכסי יתומים? If so, how is it being dealt with?

Investing in and index tracking ETF that tracks the entire US stock market or the entire global market. Is there any halachic problem, since a small percentage of the holdings are companies owned by Jews. Asking because in Israel תשואה כהלכה only approves synthetic ETFs not physical ones, presumably due to this issue. Researching...

Someone who gives Tzedaka to a collector who takes a high cut, does that qualify as Tzedaka? As technically every Jewish person I pay they give 10 percent to Tzedaka, we don't call that Tzedaka we call that Business? So if %10 Masser doesn't make the collector a Tzedaka, than what percentage does? For example kids who get high end prizes in return for Purim collecting, I think the main point is the prize with a kick back going to Tzedaka

Does anyone know who the KFI is, or more specifically any information on why goldman sachs wouldn't be recommended? https://www.kfikosher.org/kosher-bank-directory. It looks like the majority of their investment is institutional.

I have a government bond that I'm redeeming now and immediately reinvesting into stocks. Do I take off maaser now, or wait til I harvest all the way at the end?

Rav Moshe Feinstein (IM EH 1, 7) permitted buying shares in companies that are mechalell Shabbos, one of his reasons is that buying shares is a דבר שלא בא לעולם Presumably he means that the dividends or potential price gains are not yet here. But it is not clear from his wording exactly what is the object that is not yet here. (He is not discussing futures, is he!?) Surely buying shares is buying a piece of a company that is already here today. Dividends are distributed based on how large my share of the company is. I am not buying dividends and am not buying anything other than a small piece of the company, can anyone explain what he means by דבר שלא בא לעולם?
